Subject: Pietenpol-List: Henrob torchI bought a Henrob about 5 years ago. It welds nice, but its heavier thanmy Smith torch. Also its somewhat ungangly (?) with its pistol shape.The real reason I wanted it was for cutting out steel fittings. In theirbooth at Oshkosh the man was cutting steel like he was playing aStraravarious violin. Even I could make that baby sing. At home it was adifferent story. I have never got it to cut like the torch in theOshkosh booth. Now I never use it. I always use the Smith because itslighter and more maneuverable. I may build a steel tube plane sometimein the future with more welding and fittings than the Piet, and I willmaster that thing. I don't know if would recommend it or not. If youhave the money, go for it. It does weld ok. Leon S. In Ks.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2006 08:00:33 -0700 (PDT)
