    The marking is fractionally different on mine - looks electro etched; model number is the same, although mine may say B0 (or D8 or any combination thereof) rather than T2.

    I'd concur with...

    Here's a pair that's probably over 10 years old, also sprung. Also Maun, not a knock-off.

    They don't see masses of use as I find the spring a bit of a pest most of the time - it also...

    Nah, the Sieverts entrain air according to the gas flow, no other adjustment. A 3941 is the standard nozzle and is plenty to melt reasonable quantities of metal with enough propane driving it, but a...

    Fine by me - and sorry to hear about your hands, I can sympathise. I still have grip issues with my left.

    If the question is what size do people use, the small Calor ones have been phased out (although the phasing out of the 3.9kg was "extended" last April) and the smallest they now do is 13kg.

    Well, there's the rules for starters. They spell out fairly clearly what is and is not permitted.

    The design is so straightforward CAD would be my last port of call. Fabrication or if it really needs to be cast, carve a wax. Tech where it's appropriate.

    The brake is there to stop it or slow it rotating - so if you're engraving straight lines, for example. You'd still hold the ball though.

    Most of them have a screw to stop them rotating, but if you're considering thumping something then the larger balls are more resistant. I wouldn't use a small one for hammer & chisel work, for...

    Yeah, my larger ball vice is far better suited to use with bigger objects. And it holds the Ringenie, which is a bit of an ask for the smaller ones.
    That said, small engraving jobs are fine on the...

    If it's just setting, then most of us use a 3" ball. Bits of T section aluminium are useful for glueing objects to (either setters pitch or superglue), but make sure you get the stuff without a root...

    Hi David -

    We're almost entirely UK based here, so there would be logistics issues as well as import/export shennanigans to deal with.

    Yes - it's just a case of unscrewing everything and putting it back with the dovetails where you want them. I do the same.

    I don't think the Dremel torch is going to help you much. What model is the GoSystem one? Boxing the crucible in with firebricks can help retain the heat.
