Carlisle Mini Cc tube size

[Errl]

Is 22mm boro tubing too big for the Carlisle mini cc? I'm making disc pendants and that is the perfect size I need but I don't want to spend the money if the torch is too small for that size. Thanks for any help!

Depends on your skill level really. As to whether you will have enough heat? Too many variables to really answer that question.

I have done 50 mil tubing on a Mini CC, using tanked O2. Was it fun? It was a challenge so it was fun. Do I want to make a career out of it? No.

I have worked 30 mil solid rod on a Mini CC with liquid O2. Again it is slow but easily doable.

Can 22 mil tubing be worked on a Mini CC? Yes. Is it the absolute, most efficient torch for the job? No.

Wall thickness makes a difference too.

As LarryC says, there are a lot of variables.
