Its my understanding that a guy can use an Acetylene gauge on a standard propane grill tank for use with a cutting torch. I've been looking at the differences between a Propane regulator, and the one for Acetylene and the propane allows for a much higher pressure at the torch. So, my question for the guys who are using acetylene gauges for propane, is how well does it work? Do you ever feel the need to have a higher pressure than your acetylene gauge will allow? I assume using the acetylene gauge will limit how thick of steel you can cut, and how much you can heat with a rosebud.
I ask because I'm looking for a torch outfit and I'm on the fence about going with acetylene or propane.
