could this put out enough heat to anneal copper? My small handheld propane torch isn't up to the task for larger pieces of metal.

Honestly I think it could melt low temp metals. I dont know the melting point of copper. On large pieces, given some time, I do think it would melt soldering materials. I hope this helps.

Depends on how big a piece you need to treat. I have annealed small parts with a small propane torch. Remember heating is only part of the process.

Small open flame is good , all depends on the application.Keep the flame low and even then apply solder. good luck

This thing sounds good, but if you read the instructions, you can't use it on any type of direct heat. So I would say probably no. Save your money on this and just get a nice metal one. I hope this helps.

I'm an HVAC worker and it welds plumbing solder great, but it doesn't get as hot as a turbo torch and wont braze silfoss to refrigerant lines, even with map gas. Your correct about the miss print map is hotter than propane.

You could use it to heat two different leftovers in on an electric stove. I had purchased it to use on a inductive stove, and it does not work as metal is not magnetic.

The tool in designed for soft copper and aluminum. If you try to use in the way you described there is a possibility that the tool will get stuck. So it is up to you, Good Luck. Shurail HVAC

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.

no but you must have 36" of copper from unit to the pvc pipe , pvc will handle the heat

Chances are no. I can't say definitively because I've never tried it. This kit was made for melting lead. (melting point 650 F) and I use it for working with pewter (tin, melting point 450 F). Silver requires around 1500 F to melt. This kit is inexpensive and works well for what it was designed for. It *might* heat up hot enough for silver, maybe, but it will likely burn out quickly and stop working. Silver smelters cost more because they get a lot hotter and require a better construction to handle the heat. If you're making silver jewelry you will also want a finer set of tools. The size of this smelter (I melt a couple lbs at a time) requires more in materials to be manageable. Pewter and lead are inexpensive. I would want a smaller smelter for silver and do it in ounces.

No, it doesn't generate enough heat to melt solder or even pinpoint like a soldering gun. I see the other guy said it would but I still doubt it. You should take a piece of solder and hold the heat gun on it and see if it will melt. This will answer your question if you don't believe my answer.

It does a great job on copper. I don't have anything brass,so,I don't know. Sorry!

Its solid copper so I would looks up to see if copper is approved for your stove top.

This is more a soldering gun. It is not hot enough to do plumbing. You might be able to do some light weight tin projects. Remember the area around the solder point has to be hot also. The Weller would take a very long time to do copper pipe. As a rule, I just use mine for wiring, but I could imagine it being used for small diameter copper.

I converted my table to natural gas (propane would be the same). I already had a Napoleon GPFGN-1 Patio Flame gas fire pit that fits the dimensions of the copper bowl. You will have to be handy in crafting a mounting bracket. I used some heavy duty L brackets and mounted the brackets to the legs of the table. I like the convenience of just turning it on and lighting it vice having to dump out the ashes.

PS if you look below, there is a whole set of answers to someone who wanted to use it on copper, they are good answers with good info.

I think all burners heat most effectivley on top of the burner that is the same size. If you want it to heat a larger pan it would be advisable to get a aluminum pan or a copper bottom pan to distribute the heat more evenly...........Ken

I assume you are asking about copper or copper plated wire. You can do that with a regular soldering iron but the Lee melter at a pretty high temperature would work better. have at least 15% tin in the mix of lead or use pure tin.
