Description
This is a complete bench torch platform for repair work, precision soldering, platinum work, and casting, running on propane or natural gas.
The Swiss Torch System with Compressed Air Casting Head is a professional-grade multi-function torch manufactured in Switzerland and designed for use with propane or natural gas. Widely regarded as the most popular jeweler's torch in Europe, the Swiss Torch is celebrated for its balance, precision, and versatility. This system is effectively four torches in one, giving craftspeople a single platform for repair work, precision soldering, platinum work, and casting.
This specific configuration carries the compressed air casting head, which operates on propane or natural gas combined with compressed air. All other heads in this system use propane or natural gas with oxygen.
Features
- Four torches in one: functions as a repair torch, micro torch, platinum torch, and casting torch
- Hoke Style Head: familiar design for North American jewelers, compatible with propane or natural gas and oxygen
- Micro Head with 3 hypodermic tips: precision soldering and welding with fine control
- Platinum Head: produces a hotter flame for melting and casting small amounts of platinum
- Compressed Air Casting Head: uses propane or natural gas with compressed air; produces a larger, bushier flame that covers the crucible completely and reduces oxidation risk compared to pure oxygen and gas
- Manufactured in Switzerland to professional jeweler standards
Compatibility
- Works best with propane or natural gas; not for use with acetylene
- Only the compressed air casting head uses propane or natural gas with compressed air; all other heads require propane or natural gas with oxygen
- The Micro Head and Hoke Style Head may also be used with hydrogen
- Do not use the compressed air casting head with oxygen, which will damage the tip
Notes
- The 114.114SMALL compressed air bent 90-degree casting head is not included; it is available separately.
- Follow the recommended pressure setting for whichever head is fitted.
