OVERVIEW

The Legend of Gas Welding Returns

For welders who appreciate the art of oxy-fuel manipulation, the Detroit Torch DHC 2000 LPG Kit (formerly known as the Henrob or Cobra 2000) is the ultimate tool. This system is legendary in the automotive restoration and aviation communities for its ability to produce TIG-quality welds using a simple gas setup. The secret lies in its proprietary gas mixing technology, which produces a "soft" flame that wraps around the metal rather than punching through it. This allows you to weld aluminum—notoriously difficult with standard gas torches—with exceptional ease and minimal distortion.

Weld Aluminum and Stainless with Ease

The DHC 2000 is often described as a "gas TIG" because of the control it affords. The low-pressure flame (4 PSI) minimizes oxidation and heat input, preserving the base metal's properties. This kit is set up for Propane (LPG), which burns cleaner and is often more accessible than acetylene. With the included #0 and #1 tips, you can tackle everything from delicate body panels to structural brackets. The torch's ability to weld cast iron and stainless steel further expands your fabrication capabilities, making it a must-have for custom car builders and metal shapers.

Versatility in Cutting

Beyond welding, the DHC 2000 is a formidable cutting tool. The kit includes a specialized copper cutting tip that leverages the torch's concentrated heat to slice through steel with a narrow kerf, similar to a plasma cutter. To assist with precision, the kit comes with both Overcutter and Undercutter guide attachments. These wheeled guides allow you to trace patterns or follow straight lines effortlessly, maintaining the perfect tip-to-work distance. Experience the control of the pistol-grip design and rediscover the versatility of oxy-fuel welding with this premium Detroit Torch kit.

FAQ

This specific SKU is configured for LPG (Propane). While the DHC 2000 torch body is capable of using acetylene with the correct tips and settings, this kit comes with tips and instructions optimized for Propane gas.

The DHC 2000 operates at very low pressure (4 PSI) and uses a pistol-grip design. This creates a low-velocity flame that is easier to control on thin metals and allows for welding aluminum, which is difficult with standard high-velocity torches.

You need standard oxygen and propane regulators, but they must be capable of maintaining a stable low pressure of 4 PSI. Most standard two-stage or high-quality single-stage regulators can achieve this.

These are guide wheel attachments included in the kit. The Overcutter is used for cutting plate steel from the top, while the Undercutter is designed for cutting sheet metal, allowing the torch to glide underneath for a clean edge.

Yes, the DHC 2000 is famous for its aluminum welding capabilities. The soft flame prevents blowing holes in the material and allows the operator to puddle the aluminum similar to TIG welding.

Yes, the DHC 2000 is the modern evolution of the torch previously sold under the names Henrob 2000, Cobra 2000, and Dillon.

Propane is generally cheaper, more readily available, and burns cleaner. For the DHC 2000, propane provides excellent heat for welding aluminum and cutting steel without the soot associated with acetylene.
