German Micro Welding torch • Precision LP Gas Torch from USA 2008: Greetings, I am in love with my German Micro Welding Torch!!!! I will be maintaining a separate workspace soon and will need another torch with hoses, flashback arrestors and tips. I will not need regulators or anything else. Please let me know what I will need to send to pay pal for payment. Thank You soooooo much. The headteachers of the gold & silversmithing department of Melbourne University RMIT and Adelaide Institute of Tafe gave us permission to mention their reference, one of them stating: “In 1999 we purchased an LPGas Soldering Torch from you, it has proved to be very good. We have moved to a new building and the German torch seems to be the only one that will run on the available pressure we now have…..” from Queensland: I have found the Precision LP torch to be excellent, hotter than my previous LP torch and much more controllable. The push button valve is very useful, particularly when soldering jump rings and other repetitive small items as you can adjust the torch to a stand by flame and bring it up to a full flame for carrying out each operation. The connection fittings matched my Comet regulator perfectly so there was no alteration required. I am very happy with it and as I work mainly in silver it is ideal for my purpose. I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how satisfied with the German LP Gas torch I am. Most of the past year I've used the smaller tip and it has worked flawlessly and really help me improve my work. Recently I started working on bigger pieces of silver jewellery and needed more heat than I could get from the small tip. Thank goodness I had the foresight to purchase the larger tip as well. I unwrapped it the other day ... (yes it was still in the bubble wrap after a year) and I was so pleasantly surprised at the amount of heat. It worked wonderfully and was exactly what I needed for the larger pieces of metal. I just wanted to drop you a note and say thanks and let you know that this torch is everything you said it was. I fired up my new LPG torch today for the first time! Wow is all I can say it sure does beat the pants off the torches I had access to at the jewellery workshop at college. Its weight is so easy to handle and it's beautifully balanced. I was skeptical about the small tip producing a fine enough flame for my jewellery work at first but once I got it going I had no doubts. Quite excited I then changed tips and did a bit of annealing on a larger piece of metal and was blown away by how fast it heated up the metal (a 4 inch nail) in just seconds. Even the much larger torches at school took longer than that. I can't wait to get my large rosebud tip when it arrives. Thanks for making this great product available to us. I'll give you more feedback after I've tackled some fine soldering tasks. This brilliant lightweight torch with its great ignition combined with its super one-handed flame control makes it a must for all practicing metalsmiths. I have only praise for this piece of equipment which should now replace all those fearful torches of yesteryear. I have already demonstrated this torch at one of the weekly silver/workshops at the Club at B., and the response was very positive. I need to show another group this wonderful piece of equipment and persuade the club to put it high on their wish list of priorities for the coming year. from Tasmania: The torch is fantastic; it is just a great product. I think I may have to share it with my husband, as he used it to do a small repair in copper tube and he said he would not use his oxy for delicate work ever again. Hi just to let you know that I received the torch and I am very impressed with its size and capability. The torch arrived today 12 August 2005, and I have just tested it with the propane tank and the smallest tip. It is perfect for my purpose: light-weight, clean burning and just the right amount of heat output for what I want. I can melt the tips of glass rods with it (so it is hot enough), but what I will use it for is pre-heating mould chambers and small glass objects to 600-700°C before I place gathers of 900°C molten glass in them. i finally have had the
chance to use the torch. it is excellent. i Just a quick note to let you know that the torch arrived very quickly and safely to my address. I have set up the cylinder and torch and begun working. The torch is excellent and I have had some very good results with the greatest of ease! Thank you very much for your assistance. I will have no hesitation in recommending your torch to other jewellers and metalsmiths. I am VERY happy with the torch...it is a little gem...I sing it's praises whenever I get the chance. I like your torch and it also solved my gas problem and it was exactly what was said of it. I bought a micro welding torch a few years ago and have used it intermittently over the last couple of years. I am currently working on a large copper sculpture ( I am a sculptor not a jeweller) using different gauge copper wire and so have been using the torch non stop. Torch and regulator arrived, and on initial impressions, the torch is very good. Nowhere near as hot as the oxy-acetylene I have been using, but quite hot enough for my regular task of soldering up rings for my flutes, and so much easier than fiddling around with the oxy settings to get a suitable flame, and risking melting the poor ring just as I get it soldered. I find with the gas torch, I can concentrate more on the solder joint and not worry about the flame. Nice! I tried out the Torch the other day and I must say it surprised me on how well it works. The 5/8" fitting was the correct one so thank you for that. Just wanted to say hello and let you know that the LP Gas Torch is performing as advertised. I am so very pleased with what I am able to accomplish with the torch, as I have had many problems with soldering in the past. Hoping that all is well with you. from Mexico: There are two reasons for me not using acetylene. First local code says the tank must be used in a structure not attached to a home. My shop is a converted garage attached to the house, therefore I can't use it. Second I have a friend who uses acetylene and his shop has an oily soot throughout that he cleans up almost weekly. I am considering the Precision LP torch. Thanks again for taking the time. Best regards The torch and Regulator arrived safely today in the mail. Many thanks for such an efficient and prompt service. When I have had a bit of experience with the torch I will send some more feedback. I purchased the #3 Tip for melting but I'm able to melt what I need using the #2 Tip. Hello, I want to order the no.3 rosebud tip for melting and annealing. I ordered the torch back in March and love it, but didn’t think I would need the large flame at the time. Thanks Thank you for your answers to our query. We read a great review on the blowtorch on ganoksin. We wonder how such a great device has little exposure on the net. I have been using the medium sized head and have been having great success with it - I very much like using it. I really appreciate your help. Thanks for the 44a, which may save me some gas if I leave it on pilot in between uses. However, I am sure it uses very little anyway compared to my main torch! I am very happy to recommend your service to others. I love the torch it is a great piece of engineering and so light to handle. I am so glad also to have the largest nozzle as well as the small and medium, perfect for heating bigger pieces... I contacted BOC head office here in Sydney and they sent me the connection you advised, it seemed a bit crazy having it sent all the way from Canberra...Martin, I am grateful for the ground work you did on my behalf, ...I bought a new gas bottle and the Bar-b-cue man set it up for me. From a company in Thailand: Thank you, the torch came the last week of May. It works very well. Now we know when we need to replace more of our torches we have a good source to try. Thanks again. I have now used it for some time and I am very satisfied. I have 3 other torches, but this is now my primary torch. However, I have one complain and one suggestion: The complain is that the hose is too stiff, making manoeuvring it and turning it 180 degrees difficult. The other thing is that you should provide a regulator with the torch if requested. I had to buy a regulator costing more than the torch!! But the bottom line is that I enjoy working with the torch every day, so thank you!! from USA: I know I'll be happy with the torch. As I've said, I'm rather new at this and am teaching myself so all the little hints are so welcome. Almost two years ago, I read a very positive article in the "Lapidary Journal", and ever since, I've researched as best I can and have wanted to purchase this torch for quite a while. I'm very excited and thank you so much again for your prompt replys and service. Dear Martin: I look forward to the Torch and of course will let you know how it goes. Your cooperation on all this has been just wonderful and I thank you for what has turned out to be super-good communication! Independent Article in Lapidary Journal July 2004 & on IGS Webpage: Special feature from: http://www.gemsociety.org/special.htm on ganoksin from Utah/USA: I like it
better than the club's torches. Those are pretty much standard for silver work,
a lot of metalsmiths here use a Smith torch for general silver work, but it is
not so good on detail, it is a bit hotter as it is acetylene but is not what you
would want for prong repair. Yours is a better package. As an experiment on a mistake I found
that you can even put the flame on the bezel, care must be taken somewhat as I
loaned it to Linda who melted a piece of jewelry using the method she uses for
the acetylene torch. For putting on a bezel it works best if you put the back on
a firebrick and work from above instead of using a tripod stand with a mesh and
heating it from below as many have been taught. In other words method has to be
adjusted, as there are differences. I am sure this would apply to switching
between many other torches as well. But I will say that if you wanted to do some
fine detail work this fits the bill. I also noticed that a repair job on a
broken tip on a ladies lace style silver ring a while back no one wanted to try,
this can do that. While with an acetylene torch it would take almost
extraordinary skill and experience. Best Wishes |
