Does it give a small enough flame for jewelry making?

I'm not familiar with jewelry making but the flame size is adjustable. Everything from full on blow torch to a tiny flame smaller than Bic lighter.

It was adjustable! You could control the size of the flame. Unfortunately I don't know the size required to make jewelry. In my opinion the flame was relatively small! Hope this helps you!

I would assume so. If you mean use the soldering iron for jewelry, I would say it should work (I don't know anything about soldering jewelry). The iron has a very fine tip, as it comes with an electronics kit.

yes, it lights very well with your thumb. You have to keep it depressed to keep the flame.

Depends. For melting. it is probably limited to an oz or 2. For traditional silver brazing fabrication, the larger tips are well within the range of normal work on belt buckle size jobs. Even larger tips are available.

This furnace does not get hot enough to melt gold and silver. It is designed for lead which melts at a much lower temperature.

! I can't think what kind of burners you are talking about, but no, I can't imagine it being flamable, tho I just use it on my wood stove when the fire is out. I was a little disappointed in it tho, as I was visualizing a polish I could buff to a shine, but it is a dull polish that does cover any rust.

It works really well on metal. I tried on some jewelry and it doesn't look like real gold, but did fairly cover some places turning on some of my costume jewelry. I would post a pic of the old fireplace I used it on but I am not sure how to upload a photo.

it gets hot enough to melt lead free solder and sweat a copper joint...it should do silver though not ever having done sterling, i can't say for certain

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.

I haven't used it that way but it reflects flames quite brightly so I would say yes to your question.

Absolutely not! This is strictly meant for small jewelry projects! I'd check your local hardware store!

The Flame adjustment knob can be turned to your disired intent. From a barely held size (perhaps the heat of a lit candle) to a blow torch. The gas only emerges when the triigger is depressed. The low setting may not be concentrated enough for fine jewelery work. A standard map gas canister has the same threads. I have been told that any regular torch will work with map gas. But my smaller map torch has a much smaller concerntrated Flame for more detailed work.

I have not had a problem igniting the soldering tip as long as the little air hole is pointed up. You can see the flame thru this hole

No. This is not flammable. If you hold a flame right under it as if to light it, the best you'll do is remove the golden color from the top. Even the silver underneath stays a shiney silver.

There are (4) base supports with an approximate space of (3) three inches space.if the base of your maker is 3 inches it should work. Flame is circular and the maker will set on the ring support ok .

Yes. It depends on how long it is on. It is not burning hot on low but it is still hot but not enought that your gonna get burn.

I would have to say no, my wife uses it to cross stitch. It does not give off damn near any heat
