Title: New torch
Post by: John Harmon on April 09, 2014, 12:34:58 PM

My buddies neighbor is an A&P from way back. He found out I was torch welding my fuselage and offered my a Victor J-27 with 5 tips for a good price. I brought it home and tried it out and decided to buy it. It is much lighter than my other torch with the same flame. Here's a photo comparing it to my other torch.

I paired it with an ultra light leader from TM Tech (http://www.tinmantech.com/html/welding_hoses.php) and it's great. Lightweight torch with a super flexible hose.

Nice find John.

So, you looking to sell your old heavy torch and tips for welding the 4130 thin wall tube?
