Oxy-Acetylene Cylinders

[justjosh]

I'm looking to pick up a used Oxy-Acetylene cutting torch and was wondering about the cylinders.

I imagine they must need to be hydro tested every so often like a propane or CO2 cylinder but does anyone know how long they're good from a stamp date?

Just get them from a welding shop. If you buy them from there, you just bring them in when they're empty and they give you another full tank. Then you dont have to worry about keeping them up or testing them or anything.

if you want to cut cost a lil..use oxy propain. it burns and cuts a liltle diff but you can use your gas grill propain tank..then you just rent a big O2 tank and your good to go
