Hi Guys,
after 2 months of the package being stuck at custom I've finnaly got my annealer. It's AGS Annealer from a guy called Stefan, based in Serbia. First of all, if anybody wants to start with flame annealing (....and yes, I know I should have bought AMP, just don't have the money....)I really recommend getting this one on E-bay. Such a friendly and kind seller / manufacturer, and the machine is brilliant, not expensive, finely made and working flawlessly.
Anyways, I'd like to ask you about the torch I was basically gifted by a friend. It's Bernzomatic TS8000 with "Jumbo nozzle" running on MAP gas. From what I've read it should be quite good quality one, as so it feels like. Althought the issue I'm thinking of when lighting it is if it's not little bit overpower for brass annealing. It produces swivel-like flame, not pencil shape and it's quite wild and hot I assume. I guess I need one with that pencil-like flame to put shoulder neck junction on the tip of the inner dark blue flame (which this one basically doesn't have). Any ideas on this? Is there maybe some tweaking or modification which could be done to the torch to shape the flame up / reduce it a bit? Thank you in advance for any input and have a nice day!
Cheers,
T.
