Ok, only Morten replied within 24 hours and the shipping on
this item
takes some time. I've inquired about faster shipping from the seller
but got no response yet.
I decided just to go for it and I have now ordered the genuine Harris
cutting torch and a pack of two 6290 size 000 cutting tips.
6290 is Harris' tip series number. It is a "medium preheat"
oxy-acetylene tip which is good for clean (non dirty / non rusty)
metal. The 000 size is the smallest and is, according to Harris, used
for cutting metal of up to 3/16th of an inch. Our metal is 10-gauge,
which is only 0.0095 inches thicker than 1/8".
I have not yet ordered the security gear (it ships in 24 hours) so if
you have any feedback on that, then there is still time.
