3. only good for small jobs, great for jumps rings, a standard machine would not provide enough heat to melt scrap or casting, you need a much larger source of heat to do than. you get a high temp in a small flame so something bigger than a ring and i'd expect to have trouble getting it hot enough to solder.
4. Microweld (small things), cooks torch (medium and quick jobs), oxycon and propane with littletorch (larger bits and melting), big un-named torch for big things (not used at bench)
