Gas torch

[Skieferins]

Hello,

I am fairly new to the jewellery making game, I am actually a trainee who has fallen head over heels with this wonderful creative skill ,currently I use a gas torch that combines gas and oxygen, this torch has two turners - one for the gas the other for the oxygen, however, I keep mixing the fuels and quite a lot of times I end up with not enough or too much heat...As you can imagine, jobs take ages or I melt things !!

So can anyone tell me if there is a gas torch that combines the fuels but has pre-set fixed temperatures for various metals/solders ?

Thank you

I'm not a professional but for over 40 years I have soldered copper, brass, silver and gold using a prest-o-lite torch & regulator on top of a acetylene "B" tank. Works well!
