So, Paula says it will work with 5 psi of oxy, but that doesn't mean the torch will work full out with that low pressure. Brent uses two M20s when using his Wildcat, so I would assume it takes that to get close to full use of the torch. I think you either need to change torches or get a larger source of oxy. Good luck, and keep us informed.

I am running the minor on the M20 and I am making boro beads up to a width of 25mm
with ease. I can't make anything close to that with the Wildcat on the M20....the torch struggles, the flame just isn't hot enough....but with the Wildcat on the tanked oxy it works great, nice hot flame, much hotter than my minor.
Does that make sense?
I have given up on running the Wildcat on one M20. The problem is I bought the M20 & the Wilcat with the understanding (from the company that I purchased it from) that they would run together with no problems.
Ack! I just hate using oxy tanks, my studio is in the basement and they have to be lugged up and down stairs.
Anyone want a Wildcat with less than 5 hours of torch time?
