whats the largest size say, silver piece would this torch be suitable for?

You have 5 sizes for the torch, you want the one that has the largest opening. Also check the pressue gages should be about 2 -5 pounds. Light with a match.

Depends. For melting. it is probably limited to an oz or 2. For traditional silver brazing fabrication, the larger tips are well within the range of normal work on belt buckle size jobs. Even larger tips are available.

The largest size is 3/8". It will fit tight in a #2 AWG cable but not in a #2 Welding cable. It will NOT fit for a 0 AWG gage

It will work on that size for sure but I found this tool to be very light weight and part of it broke the first time I used it. So I sent it back for a refund

In this case size doesn't matter. If installed in the plenum it will do a very nice job. (can also be installed in the return.) If at all possible hook up to run with the furnace blower, that will greatly extend the lamp life. (otherwise will be ON 24/7.)

Maybe, this smelting pot is meant for lead and pewter, which melts around 600-750 degrees Fahrenheit. Silver melts at roughly 1,700 degrees. Because this smelter doesn't specify how hot it gets and since I haven't maxed it out to find out I don't know. But probably not.

it will run 1/8 7018 stick electrode.it will also run a tig torch with 1/16 electrode .as a scratch arc. won't run alum. not enough amperage.

It should both metal have to have good heat to bind. Also this made for light metal or small pieces. I use it to solder horse shoe nails with silver solder. If you're using brass it will have to have a torch and the aluminum might as well. That is about all I can tell you.

it will fit the 14oz canister, but the flame even at lowest setting would be too much for fine jewelry work.

Chances are no. I can't say definitively because I've never tried it. This kit was made for melting lead. (melting point 650 F) and I use it for working with pewter (tin, melting point 450 F). Silver requires around 1500 F to melt. This kit is inexpensive and works well for what it was designed for. It *might* heat up hot enough for silver, maybe, but it will likely burn out quickly and stop working. Silver smelters cost more because they get a lot hotter and require a better construction to handle the heat. If you're making silver jewelry you will also want a finer set of tools. The size of this smelter (I melt a couple lbs at a time) requires more in materials to be manageable. Pewter and lead are inexpensive. I would want a smaller smelter for silver and do it in ounces.

not suitable for fine work, will melt the entire piece if is less than 1/16" in thickness, I will not recommend for precision work.

That would be correct. If you are looking to have a HUGE fire, you may want something bigger.

I just checked - It's a 1-1/16 inch. Standard socket is fine, but the burner tube can be close.

You can try a 4mm 7018 with the machine maxed out at 160amps, but it will be hard to start and will probably leave a crowned up weld bead. If you are going to try 4mm rods, I would make sure that they are fresh from the rod-oven(set to 120C') and also to preheat your workpiece to around 65C' if it is 6mm or thicker. As Jose says though, you will have better results a with 1/8" 7018 or 3.2mm...not sure what amps to use for metric sized rods. I weld my 1/8th" 7018 between 120-140 amps depending upon position. Good luck and "Have a Good Time with your Hood Time"

I use mine for creme brûlée with no problems. However, I use a very small chef's torch.

It's quite small so it would fit most anything you would use it with. It's 2.5 inches. I use mine in a fireplace nightlight so it will flicker like real fire. You could use it in most of those candles that you plug in, I would think.

As long as the nozzle can be inserted and match the hole in the torch, it should work.

That's a pretty big question,you need to be more specific about what metal and how much and what specifically you want to do? Solder? Weld? Melt metal for casting?. Soldering & brazing of most common plumbing fittings,sure,that's what this torch is mostly used for.. Do you want to weld steel? Get a torch that's made for it.
