Bethlehem Burners Champion Desktop Glass Working Torch

Description

The Champion Bench Burner is a two stage, stainless steel, surface mix flame working torch with separately controlled outer and inner flames. Each stage is controlled by one gas and one oxygen valve, and the torch comes standard with a four port manifold.
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!
Create larger, more complex pieces with this new stainless steel powerhouse without losing the ability to create intricate details. Featuring a ball-bearing scroll mechanism that provides smooth adjustments and automatically locks the torch at the desired angle, the torch is ideal for standing and sitting artists alike. Experience a full-capability torch with Bethlehem Burner's hottest and largest outer fire flame, while maintaining control and precision with a pinpoint center fire.
