Lamp Torch
What torch or torches would be good for silver brazing?

I am new to silver brazing. I have done copper based brazing with acetylene. The silver braze is for smaller parts. Have read Tubal Cain’s “Soldering and Brazing” but his view of equipment is very British. Parafin lamp? Blow lamp? What are good Stateside solutions?

You need a very hot oxy-acetylene flame for silver brazing. This is the standard and best torch out there for silver brazing small things like jewelry. I have one, it gives you a pencil thin flame with excellent control.
