Default National 3m

Hi I have been thinking about getting a national 3m to help me pull my big murrini gathers into canes. right now im working with a nortel minor. I was thinking that a 3m would put out more heat. Last night it took about an hour to heat up a 3" gather with my minor. I can get the national very cheap. Is the National hotter than a minor?

steve.

Are you sure it's not the 8M? National makes a 3A & 3B and an 8M (also a 6A). The 8M will work and has changeable tips so have a small or large flame and work with boro or soft glass. And it's cheap.

ETA: The 8M has premix & surface mix tips.
