I am looking to use this for jewelry making and want to know if the tips are universal? That is can they be changed with other brands?

Yes, the common size tips are universal. The smallest tip I use is a #1 but im not sure if there is a smaller tip that you might need for jewelry making that is compatible.

Yes, but be careful. What you get will depend on where or whom you order these from. When Monster first made Supertips, the gel tips were distincty round/spherical. Later these were discontinued and replaced with tips that were smaller and a completely different shape (Monster called them tapered). Old tips = round. New tips = tapered. The consensus seems to be that it's much harder (impossible in my case) to achieve any kind of seal with the new tips. The picture here on Amazon's website shows the old tips, but if you order from Amazon directly, you'll receive the new tips :-( There are two companies I'm aware of that still have a stock of the better, old-generation tips. Buywireless are selling through Amazon. However, they seem to have stored their tips at high temperatures and when you do that with the gel tips, the gel tends to seep out and the tips end up looking like little deflated soccer balls. Your best option is to look online for a company called Sonic Electronix. They still sell good quality old (large-size) tips.

I purchased this to engrave glass, but I dont see any reason why you could not use it on copper, you would have to have the correct tip, they can be purchaced at any craft store.

I don't own this specific product, but I learned jewelry making with a torch this size. I think these guys just don't know about jewelry making. :|

I have different company tips and they all fit nicely, both metal and plastic. Its easier with a two-part plastic white plastic collar that Wilton sells for bags that the tip just goes over the collar and attaches to the bag. If you have threaded tips you just screw it down on half the collar. Its a tight fit with no leakage. The bag in the box comes with the tip end sealed so you snip off the size of the hole you want so different tips can be accommodated.

Good luck. It is a tiny screw. It took me over an hour of trying to get the tip inserted and held in place by the screw before I discovered there was no possible way. A set screw would have worked well, but this engraver needs a redesign. Consider how much force is going to be applied to the tip, between the pressure needed to engrave your item, as well as the vibration produced by the machine and it makes no sense why such a tiny screw was used. Please read all the reviews before buying.

I only have 5 Wilton Tips; and the Ateco-couplers truly fit ONLY one of my five tips, the 22-tip. My other four Wilton tips topple slightly on the Ateco-couplers and do not tighten properly and often cause the tip to be crooked, which can result in icing coming out at the seal.....not a good thing to happen. I do not have a 230-tip to compare for you; but they do not fit well with my #6 or #234, or #320. I have owned my Wilton tips for 31 yrs which could make a difference, just not sure. So, IMO Best to stick with same coupler-brand to same tip-brand for the perfect fit.

I am not a jeweler but I think the flame tip may produce a flame front too large for small jewelry. The flame does taper to a nice point in the center but it is still large enough to solder a piece of copper water pipe and to due some smaller brazing work. There is a torch called the "Micro Torch Power Probe" that I use for automotive wiring, heating frozen door locks and etc. that you might want to look at. I bought my Micro Torch from a Cornwell dealer (an automotive tool supplier) and it is a good high quality torch with a fine point (and adjustable). Hope this helps, sorry for the delay in replying (holidays). bw I am not a jeweler but I think the flame tip may produce a flame front too large for small jewelry.

Any replacement tip should work, as long as they are the same wire size, there shouldn't be a problem

Well when I bought these I was also buying the 52(I believe that's right) piece Wilton piping kit. I'm sure any Wilton tips will fit in these...most tips really. You cut the bag to fit the tip or connector (I use the lil plastic coupler so that I can change tips very easily! It also came in that other kit...the kit itself also comes with some bags!)I hope that helps some.

Just pulled mine out of the shipping box, only to find out the tip is HUGE for any SMD work. More of a general tip, and even for that it is not small. If I end up keeping it I need to buy smaller tip right away.

Yes if you buy the set of different tips you can swap them out. The tips wear down over time so need to be replaced. Though they do last quite a long time.

I'm pretty sure it's tips only but be sure of what you're buying. I bought this for a Dremel Tool and it's not for a Dremel Tool, it's for some other tool with a much bigger chuck. Do you want mine?

I beleive this vendor sells the replcement tips which fit most macines, but you should confirm that with them. I've also seen them selling the tips on amazon & ebay.

Well I bought the box if tips when I got my Kendal. Yes I would use a different tip for each client because the dead skin that comes off on your tips. You don't want to cross containment.
