    You are right...the oxy-hydrogen generators do produce a very hot
    flame. Up as high as 5000 deg or more.  And the flame is extremely
    small...even the largest flame they produce is small and it gets
    smaller from there.  I am not an expert on the machines but we have
    one at our gem and mineral shop and I have used it a number of times.
     It is perfect for replacing prongs, tipping and sizing any kind or
    size of ring.  It is most effecient on platinum as the flame is
    perfectly clean.  They are easy to maintain, very small footprint and
    easy to use. AND, they are safe.  Some malls will not permit propane
    or acytelene so the only thing the kioske operators can have is an
    hydrogen generator. 

    I never have problems keeping ours lit....don't know why your  boss
    did.

    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
