My torch model is making it's day view to my wife jewelry group. I need to provide them with a power supply to use my torch for their jewelry design. Has any one used or know anything about this model power supply. If you have a better moder you are confident with, I appreciate the help for the P/N.

Ben - those power supplies look pretty good for the money. The only problem I see is that they aren't adjustable. I don't know if you have seen it, but I use this 40 amp ham radio power supply.

I had a jewelery maker try out my torch a few weeks ago and he loved it. As soon as he can save up some money he wants me to make him one. Here is a video of the torch in action, you can get an idea of the range of flame size I get. Scrub through to about 3:55 to see the flame:
