Silver soldering on the cheap?
I have a need to do regular fairly small silver soldering jobs, and much more rarely small brazing jobs. I was looking at the Bullfinch torch that uses LPG but wondering if there's something cheaper (they are around $380). By small job as an example brass 1/2" pipe under 2mm W/T silver soldered to brass plate under 2mm thick 40mm square.

They seem to last ages. A turbo torch would be perfect for silver soldering the brass parts you described in your original post.

Hey Gassy,
Am currently pondering this deal https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/K075
Might be of interest to you if you have not bought anything yet.
