Orca Torch
I'm told by a reputable NZ dealer that the Orca is ok for small mounts,
annealing the size of sheet I use for repousse, small scale fabrication (say, up to the size of a large locket), small scale hollow form work and chain making - the type of work you would expect of a small studio, contemporary jeweller. I would appreciate any insight from anyone else familiar with this type of torch. Are there any problems or limitations I should know about before I buy? Until now I've used Primus. Changing torch brands at this stage of life is a little like ending a marriage. -- Marisa (AU/NZ) |

Marisa,
Torch is one of the tools you better not try to save on. Get a high quality Gas-Oxygen torch that will give you high flexibility in your work. I enjoy using the "Little Torch".

Thank you, Sarit. In fact I intend to purchase both an Orca and a gas/oxy
outfit. Marisa (AU/NZ) "Sarit Wolfus" wrote in message ... Marisa, Torch is one of the tools you better not try to save on.
