Swiss Torch with Compressed Air Casting Head (For Use with Propane or Natural Gas)

The Swiss Torch is widely regarded as Europe's most popular jeweler's torch, manufactured in Switzerland and trusted by craftsmen for its exceptional balance, precision, and versatility. This listing includes the Swiss Torch Body paired with the Compressed Air Casting Head (Part #114.109-114), configured for use with compressed air and either propane or natural gas.

The Swiss Torch is engineered to function as four specialized torches in one platform. It operates as a repair torch with a Hoke-style head familiar to North American jewelers, a microhead precision torch with three hypodermic tips for fine soldering and welding, a platinum torch capable of producing a hotter flame for melting and small platinum casting, and a casting torch — the configuration offered here — with the compressed air casting head for larger casting work.

This compressed air casting head is designed specifically for use with compressed air and gas only. For optimal casting results, propane gas is recommended. If natural gas is used, a natural gas booster will likely be required to achieve the necessary operating pressure.
