Bethlehem Burners Champion Sharp Flame Desktop Glass Working Torch

Description

It looks like a Champion Torch, but inside is our powerful Sharp Flame centerfire design to create the new Champion Sharp Flame lampworking torch. This new torch provides flame workers with sharper and more driving centerfire flame settings that match the Bethlehem Burners Sharp Flame Hand Torch and top mount of Bethlehem Burners STACKS Torch.
The Champion Sharp Flame is a two-stage, stainless steel, surface-mix torch that can produce 800 BTUs per minute, enough heat to easily work up to 44mm borosilicate rod and 80mm+ heavy walled tube! The new surface-mix Sharp Flame centerfire can be pulled down into a tight pinpoint, or sharpened into a long, driving needle, perfect for:
The Champion was modeled after Bethlehem Burner's famous PM2D Bench Burner and creates flames almost identical to the legendary torch! The low-velocity flames of the Champion torch allow flame workers to produce a wide range of fuel mixtures while keeping the flames workable and gentle to the glass. These flames bathe the glass in even heat and gently heat the glass from all sides, much like working glass in a furnace. This type of flame is excellent for every style of flame working, including large hollow work, solid milli work, color-mixing and fine detail work with difficult colors. The large diameter, low-velocity flames produced by the outer fire of the Champion, make evenly heating large amounts of glass with no cold spots a breeze! Even highly oxidizing flames are soft and even!
This can all be done while remaining gentle to glass colors. Whether on the bench or on a lathe, the Champion Sharp Flame will deliver everything the modern glass artist needs.
