Description:
The Knight High-Volume 1-Jet Bunsen is a single jet bunsen burner made by Knight Burner. It is built as a high-volume bench burner designed to produce a steady heating flame that can be positioned near your work area. In lampworking and scientific glass work, this style of bunsen is used when you need to keep a larger piece warm while you focus your hand torch or bench torch on a different section. This helps reduce thermal shock and cracking, especially when working on larger assemblies, longer seals, or any piece where one area can cool too quickly while another area is being worked.
How it is used:
- Set the bunsen in a safe, stable location on the bench or near a small lathe work area where the flame can warm the piece without interfering with your main torch work.
- Use it as a holding heat source to keep sections of a larger piece hot while you work another area, reducing temperature gradients that can cause cracking.
- Adjust the flame to a gentle, even heat for warming and soaking, rather than a sharp pinpoint flame used for direct forming.
- Rotate or reposition the work as needed so the warming heat is distributed across the area you are trying to protect from cooling too fast.
