What type of blowtorch?

[stretch69]

Where is the best place to buy a blowtorch? ,

Had a look on eBay and it kept showing me little ones that don't look like they do much

Thanks

Bunnings, Masters... etc

Guess the next logical question is what you want it for bloke?

soft solder only or sliver (hard solder), or both.

Work size ...any 4" / 100mm or larger to be done?

let us know

Prob both, I think I read I need to hard solder the rings for the easy flanges,

I reckon im going to have a go at something pretty similar to bushy's, so yeah a 4 inch

A bernzomatic TS8000 would be the choice will do most. ignition is great time saver.

On really large cold may need some extra heat

Is about $130 normal for the kit?

[Andy]

yes, for the ts8000 thats waht ur looking at.
i have the ts4000, but i dont use it that much, just for odd jobs

I have both, I find the 4000 to be a great all rounder for soft soldering anything up to 3", but over that the 8000 is the go :handgestures-thumbupleft:

ended up grabbing the 8000 and the ozito dremel thingy that branden said about in his build.

Technically the still hasn't cost me a thing yet :roll:

[bt1]

with the ozito tool, get hold of the true genuine dremel shank for cutting disks...ezy cut it's called...lasts won't break up cutting disks are in 5 packs for about $16

take care with the kitted ozito tools ...like protect your self from the work...I had a few let go...not pleasant at all.
