The Smith Little Torch has long been the gold standard for jewelers, hobbyists, and artisans who require absolute precision in their heat applications. The Smith Little Torch #2 Curved Tip (12-1401-02) is an essential component for this system, designed to deliver a microscopic, needle-point flame that allows for intricate work without damaging surrounding materials. Whether you are resizing a delicate gold ring, retipping platinum prongs, or fusing glass for a sculpture, this tip provides the control necessary to execute your vision with confidence.
What sets this tip apart is its internal construction. Unlike standard brass tips that can wear unevenly over time, this genuine Smith tip features a laser-drilled synthetic sapphire insert. This jewel-quality orifice ensures that the gas flow remains perfectly laminar and the flame shape stays consistent, use after use. The #2 size produces a flame with a heat output of 130 BTU per hour, making it versatile enough for a wide range of soldering and brazing tasks while still being small enough for detail work.
The curved design of the tip is not just an aesthetic choice; it is a functional ergonomic feature. It allows the operator to hold the torch at a comfortable angle while directing the heat exactly where it is needed, improving visibility of the workpiece. This is particularly beneficial when working under a microscope or magnifying visor. Compatible specifically with Acetylene and Hydrogen gases, this tip harnesses the high-temperature capabilities of these fuels to melt commercially weldable metals, glass, and even ceramics with ease.
Investing in genuine Smith tips ensures that your Little Torch operates at peak performance. The reliability of the flame means you spend less time adjusting your regulator and more time focusing on your craft. From electronics repair to metal sculpture, the #2 Curved Tip is a reliable workhorse that brings professional-grade thermal control to your bench.
