I have a Smith Jewelers torch.Oxy/Acy Oxy true handpiece (One tank
One regulaor type). After 30 yrs of use. and adding a new tank. I
have trouble getting a sharp blue flame. The Gas just pours out and
doesn’t seem to mix at all. I have opened it up slowely and to
various pressures. I have had my hand piece serviced and the
regularor serviced by a tech. torch specialist in Portland Or. I
sent each piece to be repaired alternately after having this problem
2 months ago.I had repairs done through Air Gas a local dealer I use
for Fuel cell refills. I hooked everything up yesterday after 6
weeks of repair down time and I still have the same problem… The Oxy
does’t seem to be feeding into the flame I still can not get a a
sharp blue controlable flame. Any suggestions? I have a little torch
and am using it for everthing… in the meantime. can anyone trouble
shoot,or have any suggestions? Please ? Thanks, B.K.
p.s. I teach Jewelry working every weekend I need my second torch for
backup… for larger sheet projects such as belt buckles, Sweat
soldering etc…
