Hello Orchids,
My Miniflam is a great torch, problem is, its small tips won’t allow
me to work on large pieces because I require more BTUs. I had a Smith
jewelers torch years ago, but sold it because it required me to used
shaded glasses. And that’s the rub. I despise wearing them because I
don’t get a clear enough view of what I’m brazing. I’m looking for a
torch that will allow me to, for instance, braze a finial to a
coffeepot cover without having to heat a large area. I can’t use a
laser welder because I need the solder to flow throughout the entire
joint. Plus, lasers can’t handle large pieces of holloware.
Does anyone know of a very hot torch that doesn’t require shaded
glasses?
Many thanks,
Jeff Herman
