Hi Dick
     I have a Henrob Touch and I've watched the demos at shows and part
of the demo is welding up cast iron manifolds and alumnium horse shoes.
The preheat was with a broad flame, he used a cast iron stick(!) and air
cool afterwards. First time I ever saw a cast iron stick. I haven't had
the need to do any cast iron; yet.
