Melting silver torch advice needed

[enigma]

I would definitely go for the Smiths/Oxycon set up if I could find it here in France , my portable one is the same to use I think and is 100 times better and more versatile than the Sievert IMO, the only downside with the portable is cost of oxygen but you don't have that issue with the Smiths/Oxycon.
Certainly way easier for fine work and also for melting than the Sievert.

Another vote here for the Smith/oxycon - the 5 tips it came with give plenty of scope for most torching tasks and I bought the big multi-jet tip as well for melting scrap. I still sometimes use a basic plumbers torch with disposable butane/propane canisters for quick annealing, but if I had to have one torch only it would be the Smith.
