The Smith NE180-00 Air/Acetylene Soldering Tip is the ultimate tool for artisans requiring absolute precision. Known as the "Super Fine" tip in the Handi-Heet and Silver Smith series, this component is engineered to deliver a microscopic, pencil-point flame essential for delicate work. Whether you are soldering fine gold chains, setting intricate bezels, or repairing vintage electronics, the NE180-00 provides the control necessary to heat a specific joint without damaging surrounding components or melting the base metal.
Designed exclusively for use with the Smith NE180A torch handle, this tip integrates seamlessly into your existing Handi-Heet or Silver Smith setup. It utilizes the natural venturi effect to mix atmospheric air with acetylene gas, creating a clean-burning flame that is hot enough for silver soldering but gentle enough for the finest filigree. With an output of approximately 720 BTUs, it sits at the lowest end of the heat spectrum for this series, making it the go-to choice for detail work that standard HVAC or plumbing tips simply cannot handle.
Durability and maintenance are key for professional tools. The NE180-00 features a replaceable synthetic sapphire orifice (L710-6), ensuring that even if the gas flow becomes obstructed or the flame pattern degrades over time, you can restore the tip to factory performance without purchasing a whole new assembly. This focus on longevity makes it a staple on the benches of professional jewelers and electronic repair technicians worldwide.
