The Swiss Torch-Europe's Most Popular Jeweler's Torch-Swiss Torch Body with Hoke Style Head & 3 Tips
Manufactured in Switzerland, the Swiss Torch is the most popular jeweler's torch used in Europe. Craftsmen favor it for its balance, precision and versatility. The Swiss Torch is four torches in one. First, it is a repair torch with a Hoke style head familiar to North American jewelers. Second, it is a microhead torch, a precision torch with 3 different hypodermic tips for precise soldering and welding. Third, it is a platinum torch, with a special tip that produces a hotter flame for melting and casting a small amount of platinum. Finally, it is a casting torch, with your choice of oxy/gas or compressed air/gas torch heads. The Swiss Torch works best with Propane or Natural Gas. The Swiss Torch is not for use with Acteylene.
This is the Swiss Torch Body with the American style Hoke head and 3 tips. This is the torch head that is commonly used in the United States, and we call it the Hoke style since the tips are very similar to that once well made in the USA (but sadly now made in China) Hoke torch. The Hoke style torch assembly has threaded holes on either side of the knurled attatchment for holding two of the Hoke tips when not in use.
The Hoke Style Head is recommended for use with an oxygen output of between 0.5 to 0.2 Bar (7.25 to 3 PSI)
