What heat source do you use for your brazing? The only brazing I've ever done was with an oxy-acetylene torch, which isn't the most convenient thing in the world to work with. Mostly the part about needing an industrial welding supply place or something to rent bottles from.
MIG welding with a self-feeding wire welder can also be a little bit easier in the sense of not requiring combined dexterity between both hands simultaneously, which is something that doesn't come naturally to everybody. That said, if one can learn to solder, they can probably learn to braze.
- yetanotherloser 4y agoDepends what you're brazing. You can do a lot with just a propane torch, or air-propane, with the right shaped pile of insulating firebrick to keep the heat in the workpiece. I've only ever propane brazed; I don't think many people do oxy acetylene at home any more.
