I guess I know now just how hot my set-up really is. I bought some 14mm rods to use to make tail stock holders that are a little more durable, and these rods are thicker that I thought they would be! Well, it didn't take but about 20 seconds to melt it apart.
I'm happy with that! I always thought my oxy generator (Airsep AS-12A) was a bit of overkill for the Bobcat and soft glass, but it's perfect for COE 33.
