Brazing torch
 

I am looking to get a tip for my oxy acetylene torch so I can weld I know at school when ever I brazed I used a torch one size larger then a jewelers torch. I'm looking at mc master Carr and don't know what to get.
Thanks

Soo... are you looking for a torch or a tip?

I've found a standard medium duty torch with a small-ish (somewhere between Harris 3 and 5) welding tip works for anything from welding or brazing 3/16in tube to welding 1/4in plate. It all depends on what you have now and what you want to do with it. You probably don't need a heavy duty torch, that just adds weight. If it is primarily for brazing, you might want to look into a light duty torch like a Smith, particularly if you already have a setup for cutting and welding.

Yah I'm just looking for a tip. Are you talkin like a smith little torch or do they make tips also. I will primarily be used to braze mabee a little light welding

The Smith torch is the handle, mixer, and tip. You probably don't need that, unless you want to work on a lot of small stuff.

The important thing is what kind of torch you have (probably Harris). A Harris #3 should do nicely for most tuber-style work. A #1 wouldn't be bad to have around for joining little stuff with silver brazing rod. The tip that came with your torch should handle most anything else.

The smith torch is like a butian torch right. Thanks a lot man

The Smith is still an oxy-acetylene torch, it is just designed for jewelry where you need complete control over what is being melted. It will be far lighter and more controllable, but lack the power for general purpose use.

No problem, hopefully those tips will work for you.
