    I have a oxy propane rig with two torches running off it. One is a
    larger Smith handpiece and the other is the Little Torch. I bought
    the rig in 1982 and have never filled the propane tank ( I may be
    forgetting one fill) , while I go through 3 or so tanks of oxygen a
    year. The propane lasts for ever. 

    I would suggest you buy a larger oxygen tank, since the price for a
    fill goes down with volume. You are paying a real premium for the
    small tank fills. The large tank will pay for itself in savings. 

    I doubt it would run on compressed air. Propane stretches it's
    limits enough and allows you to only use number 5 tips and larger.
    You need acetyl for the smaller tips. 

    Hope this helps, 

Don
