Could I use this for shaping hot metal on an anvil?

You may be able to. Probably not with the tips included with the kit though, as thy are more for chiseling. I would say that it has the power to do so, it will be a challenge to hold it steady, as it does try to jump around when hitting against something sturdy.

I don't no. I was using it to repair a hole in a radiator. I was not pleased, it did not work well at all. The whole was the size of a pin head. I don't think it works to well with heat. I would read the information on what kind of metals it works with. Good luck.

Yes, it can work but, you have to use the biggest tip and limit the amount of metal that is being melted and try to keep the crucible from losing heat by some means. It is great for repairs and assembly and I think is really designed around that.

You could but you need to watch your contact time because aluminum will heat up quickly. And this tool has a lot of RPM's

Yes you can style it with heat tools. I'd suggest using a lower heat setting. I've crimped, straightened, and curled mine.

I looked at my unit and the individual elements that do the stamping appear to be made out of metal, not plastic, so they might stand up to that usage. The handle allows you to push down with quite a bit of force so it's possible that would work. I wouldn't be brave enough to try it on my machine though. I guess it would sort of depend on how thick and sturdy the metal stock you are going to use is. Sorry I can't provide any more useful information.

It would be possible, though you would need the right sander. If you sanded it flat it would look awkward - you need the tools to actually shape it.

No. Though it gets very hot, this tool does not get hot enough for precious metals. Already tried with brass, it just does not work. You'll need a higher pressure tool with gas that comes out of tanks not cans.

Yes, I believe you could. I used it to line a tool chest and am very satisfied.

No, it's meant for small diameter, hard and soft copper, aluminum, brass and plastic tubing. Iron would be too hard.

You could but wouldn't be happy with the results, I would only recommend using with a drill press. A drill guide is another cheaper alternative but this looks like a good reason to buy your drill press.

I wouldn't try, this item is a piece of scrap metal, I've bought 2 and both broke, bought a welder and saved it.

I would say that since it's not Teflon, you probably can. But Amazon does offer utensils. I probably wouldn't use metal.

No, it won't work for that. It's for crafts. I use it. for hours and hours on its absolute hottest setting and still have trouble carving hollow craft foam.

yes,but remember, only over low heat such as your simmer setting. Higher heat settings discolor the metal andcould potentially char the wood handle.

Because it is metal and absolutely flat, I can't see why it wouldn't. My pieces are steel over copper. Perhaps if you have one with aluminum, it might not.

Yes you can, that's the first thing I did was use it as a plastic welder. I used it to repair a crack on my motorcycle fairing.
