How hot does this gun get? I need 1200 degrees to about 1500 degrees for jewelry and I don't want to mess with a torch.

The Temperature Range is 1020 F/900 F, so this one would not be the one to choose. Neither will the more expensive Pro model D550PK, since its Temperature Range: 1100 F / 900. I found another even more expensive one, but it too does not reach those temps. You may have a tough time finding one that can reach those temperatures. You may not even find one, but if that's your preference it would be a good idea to research the various choices on the internet.

I don't know the temperature...it has lines, and I go on the highest, my daughter uses somewhere in the middle. All I know is that if you attempt to touch it even for a second, you will definitely get burned...it's untouchable. I love this iron, I think it works very well. I have 4 of them because I like to keep them in different houses (my parents, my daughter, and 2 in my house). I've had all of them for several years, and have never had a problem with any of them, and I use the ones in my house daily.

Extremely hot. So hot that it will start a fire. It will actually heat up enough to compromise the integrity of the tip, effectively melting it. You have to be extremely careful when using this device.

The thermostat will go up to 850 degrees F. I normally keep it around 675F for casting. Be careful as Zinc will melt at 780 degrees F. Zinc is really bad for casting bullets!

I used at 450 - no issue. I am sure it goes to 500+ - they probably don't want to state for legal reasons. Its cast iron - probably would take crematorium type heat to melt. I used over BBQ grill for pizza - no problem - just don't touch without gloves!

Mine is in Fahrenheit. I saw them at the gun show and they are all in Fahrenheit. I sure like mine and the small size is good.

I used a heat gun on low setting of 750watt, worked just fine, just be careful not to get too close, it can melt it.

I haven't actually tried melting metals with this torch but I would imagine thinner sections could possibly melt - particularly non ferrous metals. The torch will silver braze which means metal surfaces are getting hot enough to cause some melding of parent metal and the silver brazing alloy. It is such a useful torch and seems to get the work piece much hotter than any regular propane torch I've had in the past - cherry red is a great heat indicator when brazing and this torch will get exhaust studs up to cherry red very quickly. I would just buy one because it is such a useful tool for the workshop and very versatile! It is so handy to have at your disposal a heat source capable of undoing seized parts and general silver brazing. It is very well made too! I highly recomemend it..

Meh. I found the optimum temperature to cure this - in a reasonable time - very warm. The kind of very warm where you can still keep your fingers on it without too much discomfort. If it's too hot to keep your finger on for more than 3 seconds, your gonna melt the surrounding material. If you can control the heat gun to maintain that level of heat over a 15 to 20 minute period, then you're good. Patience is the key. The heat transfer tool?? A joke. You'd be there for a good 2 hours with it.

I have a laser thermometer that is very accurate (much more accurate that the thermometer that sits above the second stone). I had mine at 1000 degrees, with the valve mostly open, but I didn't push it all the way because I was concerned about breaking the stone. It was exceedingly hot!!! So in answer to your question, it gets hotter than you will ever need.

Yes, I have shot 2 inch to 3.5 inch at 21 degrees with no issues! Great gun! Have a great day.

I have been using it for months & haven't had trouble igniting it. I use it to make jewelry. With the tips off its a torch. You may be able to ignite with a lighter or striker, personally I would be afraid it would explode. I probably would get a new one if the auto igniter quit.

No Way! For soldering both materials to be soldered together must be heated, together with the soldering agent, namely, tin, lead, etc. Guns like this, as good as they are, for small stuff like wires and maybe jewelry, won't do big stuff. A flaming torch is needed for copper pipes and such, and you'll need an arc welder for steel anything larger than real small, thin stuff. For aluminum: I've never soldered, but I'm told "tig" welding is necessary.

The pot itself (cast iron) will go to above 2,000° F before it melts, so....It may do well enough for most home casting projects. Lead for bullet casting is only 621°F at melting point. By the way, this pot is NOT self heating. You're going to need a fire or burner of some type.

Hi there. My experience with this unit is that it can get pretty hot. 600 degrees. The problem is that if you cook at that temp a lot the unit won't be all that durable. I think for the price this is a great grill but it will self destruct above 500 degrees.

Sorry, I can't answer your question about 22 - degree, but I have shot over 5000 21 - degree without any major issues. I have found that my gun will not fire the last 3 nails so I just add another clip and keep on trucking.

It depends on your temperature, wood, and auger timing ratio. I've used mine at 225° for close to 16 hours on multiple occassions, and I trust that I can light it and leave it running over night without refilling until morning. I've never tried it, but I can estimate that it would hold its highest temp (550-600°) for a couple hours. At that temp, it constantly feeds pellets into the fire pot. Hope this helps! I know that buying this pellet grill changed how I cook. If you're new to pellet grilling... You don't be disappointed!
