It will work but it won't work great. If it's a good price, get it and also build a holding tank for it. Here is the tutorial for building a holding tank:

It's very easy and not expensive at all. Good luck!!

Welcome to the obsession! What type of glass are you planning to use? If you are staying with soft glass then yes, they will get along just fine.

I have one myself! Two oxycons hooked together works great for small scale boro work.

I'm working soft glass only. is the only thing you find in peru right now. maybe in the future I can work boro to.
after this I'm definitely buying the oxicon.
