Am I dreaming thinking I can work 26mm with this torch? Anyone do it?

Tubing? There'd be no problem. Rod, maybe. It'll just take a bit of heat to get going

Ah yeah sorry should have said rod. Lol. Little burnt at the moment. Thanks for the input. I'll give it a go and report. Maybe a kiln preheat soak would be in order.

Turn up your pressures. 25+psi 02. Even 30+psi 02...

5-7psi propane.

I have my redmax at 5/45 and I can melt rod that thick, but it does take some time.

Thanks everyone. I don't want to do it a lot. Just got one thing to make. Kyp.
