The standard ACE lens is ideal for working soft glass,
the glass most commonly used in lampworking. Hard
glass, glass that is compatible with borosilicate glasses,
like Pyrex, Glass Alchemy and Northstar, can also be
lampworked using the standard ACE lens, if you are
working clear and colors that do not glow too brightly.
Many hard glass colors, and especially colors that are
worked at high temperatures, produce so much bright
light, that it is recommended that you use a light filtering
lens with greater eye protection, such as Green ACE.
The Hot Head Torch, and other similar torches, are only
just hot enough to be used with soft glasses, such
Effetre (Moretti), ASK and Bullseye.

UNDERSTANDING TORCHES
There are two general types of torches that work with glass; surface mix and premix. The most versatile type is called
surface mix. Surface mix torches keep the fuel gas, usually propane, separate from the oxygen (or air) until both gases
have exited the torch. The two gases then mix just beyond the surface of the torch’s face. The advantage of this is that
the flame is very quiet, the shape and nature of the flame is more adjustable, and most importantly for soft glasses, the
quality of the flame is better than the flame produced by a premix torch. Soft glass is just about any glass that is not
borosilicate glass, which is often referred to as hard glass. An example of hard glass is Pyrex. Many colors of soft
glass, mostly opaque colors, when worked in a premix flame, will reduce and become gray. A surface mix torch
properly adjusted to a neutral flame will keep the soft glass colors true. If you plan on working only soft glass or both
soft and hard glass you should consider a surface mix torch.
A premix torch mixes the fuel gas and oxygen within the torch. Because a premix torch has a lot less internal plumbing
than a surface mix torch, it is less expensive to manufacture and therefore generally costs less. Premix torches work
well with hard glass, but as stated, they don’t do well with soft glass. Premix torches are slightly hotter and noisier.
When deciding which torch to purchase take into consideration your future needs. A larger torch can make a small
flame easier than a small torch can make a large flame. To get a hotter flame by working closer to the torch will make
the flame too intense and you will probably just burn and boil the glass. A larger flame will give you more heat to melt
larger glass without making the flame too intense. Also, because a larger flame covers more area, you won’t lose heat
from one area of the glass while heating up another area. Some torches have a separate center fire that can be used
without the larger outer fire. This gives the torch a wider range of flame sizes. All the torches listed below use oxygen
and propane or natural gas, except the Hot Head torch which uses MAPP gas or equivalent. Never use acetylene.
Torch Terms
Torch: Generally, a flame producing device that is hand held. Often the terms torch and burner are used
interchangeably.
Burner: Generally, a flame producing device that is mounted to a stand or base and is not intended to be hand held.
Often the terms burner and torch are used interchangeably. Also, the head of a burner or torch, that produces the
flame, is called a burner face.
Hose Fittings: The twin lead Grade T hoses that are used for all types of fuel gases and oxygen have a ―B‖ size
screw-on connections where they attach to the regulators. The other end may also have a ―B‖ connection or may just
be cut clean and use hose clamps to secure them to the torch, depending upon how the torch was designed.
Valve: Controls the gas flow through the torch to the burner.
Flame: All of the fire(s) produced by the torch or burner. This term is often interchangeable with Fire.
Fire: The flame produced from one part of the torch or burner, such as the center fire as opposed to the outer fire. This
term is often interchangeable with Flame.
Candle: The short blue flame that is within the overall flame.
Orifice: A hole in the burner face that allows mixed gases to flow through. This term is often interchangeable with Port.
Port: A hole on the burner face that allows only one gas to flow through. This term is often interchangeable with
Orifice.
Premix: A torch or burner that mixes the fuel gas with the oxygen before either exits the burner face.
Surface mix: A torch or burner that keeps the fuel gas and oxygen separated until they exit the burner face.
Neutral Flame: A flame that has a proper balance of fuel gas and oxygen in the working area of the flame. This type of
flame is usually very straight and narrow. It is the flame most used as it is the hottest, cleanest and does not
chemically react with the glass.
Reduction Flame: A flame that has an excessive amount of fuel gas in the working area of the flame. This type of
flame usually has a barrel shape and can be bushy. It is a cooler flame and is used to slowly heat up shocky glass or
used when you want the flame to have a chemical reaction with the glass, such as when using reduction frits.
Oxidation Flame: A flame that has an excessive amount of oxygen in the working area of the flame. This type of
flame is often used when working with dichroic glass to help prevent the coating from burning off as well as many
borosilicate colors. When a surface mix torch or burner is adjusted to have an extremely high amount of oxygen, the
flame will be pinched in, short and can have a needle point. Around the flame is a jacket of unused oxygen. It is a
cooler flame and is used to work in tight areas where you want only the glass touched by the flame to soften. The cool
jacket of oxygen around the flame keeps the glass surrounding the flame contact point cooler.

TORCH COMPARISONS
Arranged in similar size groups.
Hot Head
Suggested usage’s: For soft glass only. Inexpensive beginning torch. Uses disposable MAPP gas bottles or can be
used with larger bulk containers. Does not require hoses, regulators or oxygen as do all the other torches listed below.
It is slower than the other torches and can affect the color of some glasses, mainly non transparent colors.
Minor Burner, Mega Minor, Bobcat, Lynx, Piranha, Mini CC Bench Burner - High Oxy, Little
Dragon Bead Burner 7
Suggested usage’s: For soft or hard glass. Easily make soft or hard glass beads and sculpture up to 1‖ in diameter.
Will also make soft glass marbles up to 1¼‖ in diameter, but is slow.
Mid Range, Mid-Range Plus, Cheetah, Barracuda, WildCat Bench Burner, Little Dragon Bead
Burner 21, Bullet Burner 7-14
Suggested usage’s: For soft or hard glass. Flames are from two to three times as large as the torches listed above.
Work soft glass up to 1½‖ in diameter or heavy wall hard glass tubing up to 1¼‖ in diameter comfortably. You can work
slightly larger glass at a slower pace. The Mid-Range Plus has two flames, one above the other. The top flame is a
Minor Burner.
Major Burner, Red Max, Phoenix, Phantom, CC Bench Burner, Tiger Shark
Suggested usage’s: For soft or hard glass, except for the CC Bench Burner which is recommended for hard glass
only. These torches produce large flames that can quickly heat up large quantities of glass. For large sculpture, large
hard glass tubing or when you want to get the job done faster. The Major Burner and the Red Max have two
separately controlled flames, one above the other. The other torches have small center fires surrounded by larger
outer fires with separate controls.
Mirage, Rocket
Suggested usage’s: For soft or hard glass and quartz. Even bigger than the torches listed above. Heat more glass
faster. Hot enough to efficiently work quartz. These torches have small center fires surrounded by larger outer fires
with separate controls.
Delta Elite, CC Plus Bench Burner
Suggested usage’s: For soft or hard glass and quartz, except for the CC Plus Bench Burner which is not for soft
glass. The largest and hottest flame. No job too big or too small for this torch. This torch has a small center fire
surrounded by larger outer fire with separate controls.
Ranger Hand Torch, Multimix Junior, 8 X 8 Multimix Hand Torch, 11 X 11 Multimix Hand
Torch, Unitorch
Suggested usage’s: For off hand glass blowing while heating glass away from the glory hole or working at a lathe.
5
TORCHES
HOT HEAD ..... $40.00
Uses disposable MAPP or propane gas bottles. Doesn't require oxygen (and is therefore not as hot as oxygen mix
torches). Good beginning torch. See below for the HOT HEAD HOLDER AND WORK SURFACE accessory.
MINOR BURNER by Nortel ..... $188.00
Surface mix. The 7 fuel port Minor Burner has long been the most popular surface mix torch because of its size for
making beads, marbles and small sculptural work as well as its economic price. Uses 3/16” or 1/4” BC Hose Set.
MEGA MINOR by Nortel ..... $239.00
The 7 fuel port Mega Minor has slightly larger ports than the Minor Burner. It is also a little hotter, yet can still focus to
a fine point. Great when you want that extra heat when working hard glass (borosilicate). Uses 3/16” or 1/4” BC Hose
Set.
MID RANGE BURNER by Nortel ..... $269.00
Surface mix. The next step up from the Minor Burner. 22 fuel ports and larger burner face produce a wider flame that
melts glass about three times faster than the Minor Burner, yet can be tuned down to a fairly small flame size. Uses
3/16” or 1/4” BC Hose Set.
MAJOR BURNER by Nortel
Major Burner, Major Burner-P, Major Burner-B or Major Burner-PB ..... $399.00
The Major Burner now comes in four versions. Like all the versions, the original model Major Burner is a double
burner. It has a Minor Burner (see above) that is mounted just above a large 64 fuel port burner. Each is controlled
separately and not at the same time. The Major Burner-P model differs in that instead of using a Minor Burner on
top, there is a pre-mix burner above the large bottom burner. The pre-mix burner comes with two different
interchangeable tips and an adapter which will allow you to use any of the pre-mix National tips listed below. The
Major Burner-B is just like the regular Major Burner, except that the large 64 fuel port bottom burner has 16 of its
ports blocked out in the center section leaving 48 holes. The reason for this is that it allows the flame to have about the
same width as the 64 fuel port version while having a cleaner flame quality, and cleaner and cooler burner face at a
flame length that virtually everyone uses on the regular Major Burner. The Major Burner-PB has a pre-mix top burner
mounted above the blocked 48 fuel port bottom burner. We recommend the Major Burner-B for flameworkers that use
soft or soft and hard glass and the Major Burner-PB for hard glass flameworkers. Uses 5/16” BC Hose Set.
MID RANGE PLUS by Nortel
Mid Range Plus, Mid Range Plus-P ..... $379.00
The Mid Range Plus burners have the same layout as the Major Burners (see above) do, except the bottom burner
is the same as on a regular Mid Range (see above) burner. The Mid Range Plus model has a Minor Burner (see
above) that is mounted just above the large bottom burner. The Mid Range Plus-P model differs in that instead of
using a Minor Burner on top, there is a pre-mix burner with two interchangeable tips. Uses 5/16” BC Hose Set.
RED MAX by Nortel
Red Max, Red Max-P ..... $499.00
The Red Max burners have the same layout as the Major Burners (see above) do, except the bottom burner is
Nortel’s latest design in a large flame burner. The Red Max’s bottom flame is comparable to the Major Burner’s
bottom flame in size, but it is round in shape instead of square and it is a much more forceful flame than the Major
Burner’s fluffier flame. The Red Max also tends to require less cleaning. The Red Max model has a Minor Burner
(see above) that is mounted just above the large bottom burner. The Red Max-P model differs in that instead of using
a Minor Burner on top, there is a pre-mix burner with two interchangeable tips. Uses 5/16” BC Hose Set.
ROCKET by Nortel ..... $929.00
The Rocket has a separately controlled 7 fuel port Mega Minor center fire surrounded by a large 53 fuel port outer ring.
With both power and range, beadmaking to large scale borosilicate work, the Rocket is comparable to torches costing
twice as much. Uses 5/16" BC Hose Set.
6
RANGER HAND TORCH by Nortel ..... $198.00
Surface mix. For off hand glass blowing and lathe working. This torch is a Minor Burner in a hand held version.
Approximately 11‖ long, 7 ounces. Uses ¼” BC Hose Set.
MULTIMIX JUNIOR HAND TORCH by Nortel ..... $249.00
Surface mix. For off hand glass blowing and lathe working. This torch is a Mid Range in a hand held version.
Approximately 15‖ long, 9 ounces. Uses 5/16” BC Hose Set.
8 X 8 ROW MULTIMIX HAND TORCH by Nortel ..... $279.00
Surface mix. For offhand glass blowing and lathe working. This hand held torch uses the larger burner head from the
Major Burner with 64 fuel ports. Approximately 19½‖ long, 15 ounces. Uses 5/16” BC Hose Set.
11 X 11 ROW MULTIMIX HAND TORCH by Nortel ..... $379.00
Surface mix. For off hand glass blowing and lathe working. This very large hand held torch uses a larger burner head
that is similar to the Major Burner, but has 121 fuel ports instead of 64 (see above). Approximately 23‖ long, 2.2
pounds. Uses 3/8” BC Hose Set.
UNITORCH HAND TORCH by Nortel ..... $249.00
Premix. This large hand held torch incorporates six premix tips arranged in an arc. Ideal for lathe working large
borosilicate glass. The flame can be adjusted to a bushy flame or an intense narrow band or a fine line of needle
flames. Approx. 18‖ long, 16 ounces. Uses 5/16” BC Hose Set.
Glass Torch Technologies (GTT)
Glass Torch Technologies utilizes a second oxygen valve to inject additional oxygen down the center of the fuel gas
stream on the triple mix torches. This greatly increases the flexibility with which you can adjust the flame. The flame
can be made hotter, longer or shorter and on the torches with a center fire, incredibly small and sharp pointed. Torches
with four studs use two hose sets which allows you, with the addition of a foot pedal(s), to separately control the inside
and out flames, hands free. Video on using GTT torched includes with Phantom, Mirage and Delta Elite. All GTT
torches use ¼” BC Hose Sets. Two sets for the Four Stud models.
BOBCAT by GTT ..... $195.00

LYNX by GTT ..... $435.00
Surface mix. 7 fuel port triple mix.
CHEETAH by GTT ..... $550.00
PHOENIX by GTT ..... $625.00
PHANTOM by GTT
Four Stud ..... $1200.00
Two Stud ..… $1125.00;
Surface mix. 15 fuel port triple mix outer fire with a separate 7 fuel port triple mix center fire.
MIRAGE by GTT
Four Stud ..... $1725.00
DELTA ELITE by GTT
Four Stud ..... $2325.00
7
MINI CC BENCH BURNER - High Oxy by Carlisle Machinery ..... $229.00
Surface mix. The 7 fuel ports. The Mini CC High Oxy has become as popular as the Minor Burner and is slightly
hotter. Use for making beads, marbles and small sculptural work. Uses 3/16” or 1/4” BC Hose Set.
WILDCAT BENCH BURNER by Carlisle Machinery ..... $420.00
Surface mix. The 19 fuel port WildCat is the next step up from the Mini CC, with a very hot, larger flame that is also
able to adjust down to a fairly small, narrow flame size. The WildCat incorporates a unique, innovative ―Vortex‖ cooling
system that keeps the burner cool at all flame settings. Uses 3/16” or 1/4” BC Hose Set.
HELLCAT BENCH BURNER by Carlisle Machinery ..... $845.00
Surface mix. A 14 fuel port flame surrounds the 7 fuel port flame of the Mini CC Bench Burner and is separately
controlled. As with most two flame torches, the smaller center flame is typically used from 70 to 90% of the time. Add
in the outer flame when you need a bigger and hotter flame. Uses two ¼‖ BC Hose Sets or one ¼‖ BC Hose Set and a
Carlisle HellCat 4 Inlet to 2 Inlet Conversion Kit. Using separate hoses to the inner and outer flames allows you to
connect a hands free, foot operated switch to the outer flame.
CC BENCH BURNER by Carlisle Machinery
Ball and Post mounted, two or four stud ..... $1336.00
Rack and Pinion mounted, two or four stud ..... $1510.00
Premix, single orifice (# 5) center fire with a separately controlled 34 fuel port surface mix outer fire. Torches with four
studs use two hose sets which allows you, with the addition of a foot pedal(s), to separately control the inside and out
flames, hands free. Narrower # 3 center file available by special order. Uses ¼” BB Hose Set(s).
CC PLUS BENCH BURNER by Carlisle Machinery
Ball and Post mounted, two or four stud ..... $2082.00
Rack and Pinion mounted, two or four stud ..... $2302.00
Premix, single orifice (# 5) center fire with a separate 63 fuel port surface mix outer fire. Torches with four studs use
two hose sets which allows you, with the addition of a foot pedal(s), to separately control the inside and out flames,
hands free. Narrower # 3 center file available by special order. Uses ¼” BB Hose Set(s).
THE LITTLE TORCH by Smith Equipment ..... $125.00
This famous little torch has been a favorite of jewelers and is the ideal torch for making micro encasement parts,
assembling those parts and for preheating the glass setup placed into a Stump Sucker just prior to encasing. Kit
includes five tips, sizes 3 through 7. Weighing only 1½ ounces, it has light weight 8’ hoses attached with ―B‖ size
fittings, so you can connect it to your existing lampworking setup. To connect more than one torch to a set of
regulators, see Gas Splitters in the Torch Accessories section.
LITTLE DRAGON BEAD BURNER 7 by N. M. Knight ..... $205.00
Surface mix. The 7 fuel port Little Dragon Bead Burner 7 is one of the latest additions to the lampworking industry. It
is finding great popularity as an excellent torch for making beads, marbles and small sculptural work. Uses 3/16” or
1/4” BC Hose Set.
LITTLE DRAGON BEAD BURNER 21 by N. M. Knight ..... $295.00

TORCH ACCESSORIES
OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
OX-10 ..... $459.95; OX-15 ..... $695.95
Never use an oxygen tank again! With an oxygen concentrator, oxygen is pulled out of the air. Unlimited Oxygen and
Extreme Oxygen provide models to give you ―Oxygen to Burn‖ with units that fit a wide range of needs. These units are
reconditioned to new condition and enhanced to increase oxygen volume and pressure. The OX-10 produces 5 lpm
(liters per minute) and 10 psi (pounds per square inch) static pressure for small torches, such as the Minor Burner and
the Mini CC. Actual running pressure is less than static pressure. This is enough oxygen if you use natural gas or
enough if you use propane at common flame settings and do not need to take your torch to its maximum capability. If
you are working hard glass (borosilicate) or larger soft glass pieces, you can take advantage of a larger and hotter
flame that the OX-15 can enable on these torches. The OX-15 produces 8 lpm and 15 psi static pressure. An oxygen
regulator is not needed with concentrators. Larger units also available.
OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR/GENERATOR COUPLER
Double ..... $30.00; Triple ….. $42.00
Allows you to connect multiple oxygen concentrators (also known as oxygen generators) to a single oxygen hose for
your torch. This will increase oxygen volume by combining more than one source. The double connects two oxygen
concentrator/generators together. The Triple connects three together.
HOT HEAD TORCH HOSE SET
5' hose length ..... $29.95; 12' hose length ..... $39.95
The Hot Head Hose Set allows you to connect a bulk fuel tank, such as a barbecue fuel tank, to a single HOT HEAD
torch. Fuel gas (propane, MAPP or equivalent) in larger quantities is a substantial savings over the disposable bottles.
No regulator needed with this kind of setup. See below for torch holder.
HOT HEAD HOLDER AND WORK SURFACE ..... $28.00
For use with torches such as The Hot Head. Securely holds a small propane or MAPP gas bottle off the front edge of
your work table and allows you to adjust its height. In front of torch, on the table, is a 9" X 16" metal work surface. With
a simple adjustment to the holding clamps, you will be able to hold a Hot Head torch so that the torch can be
connected to HOT HEAD TORCH HOSE SET which allows you to connect the Hot Head to a bulk fuel tank. Stainless
steel.
HOT HEAD TORCH MANIFOLD AND HOSE SET
2 Torch - Long Hose Set ..... $69.00; Short hose Set ..... $51.00
5 Torch - Long Hose Set ..... $190.00; Short hose Set ..... $140.00
The 2 Torch Manifold lets you connect either one or two Hot Head torches to a single bulk tank. The 5 Torch Manifold
lets you connect from one to five Hot Head torches to a single bulk tank. The 2 Torch Long Hose Set has a Y Splitter
that attaches directly to your bulk tank and then two 12’ torch hoses connect it to Hot Head torches. The 2 Torch Short
Hose Set has two 5’ torch hoses connect it to Hot Head torches. The 5 Torch Long Hose Set manifold has one 12’
lead hose that connects a splitter to the tank and five 12’ torch hoses that connects the splitter to Hot Head torches.
The 5 Torch Short Hose Set manifold has one 12’ lead hose that connects a splitter to the tank and five 5’ torch hoses
that connects the splitter to Hot Head torches. The torch hoses have automatic shut off valves to prevent the fuel gas
from escaping when a torch is not connected. Other configurations available.
SPARK LIGHTER
Single Flint ..... $3.75; Triple Flint ..... $4.75
Single Flint Replacement, 5 Pack ..... $1.50
Triple Flint Replacement, 1 Pack ..... $1.25; Triple Flint Replacement, 4 Pack ..... $3.25
Spark lighters use a flint to create a spark and light your torch. You should never have a butane lighter or even
matches around the torch area. If you should accidentally touch anything hot, such as the hot end of a glass rod, to a
butane lighter it could explode, matches could flare up into a large flame.

Available for other torches. Specify torch.
Graphite marvering pad fastens to the top of the torch near the flame. A small lip on the back edge holds small items
on top of the graphite surface and another lip located at the bottom and to the front of the graphite is very close to the
flame and works as a pre-heater for such things as millefiori. It also aids in making square or rectangular beads. Frees
your hands to work the glass.
REGULATORS
Oxygen
American Medium Duty ..... $105.00; Import Standard Duty ..... $75.00
American Heavy Duty ..... $165.00; American Two Stage Large ..... $195.00
Fuel Gas (Propane)
American Medium Duty ..... $105.00; Import Standard Duty ..... $75.00
American Heavy Duty ..... $165.00; American Two Stage Large ..... $195.00
Economy Fuel Gas - Adjustable ..... $30.00; Economy Fuel Gas - Preset ..... $20.00
The American regulators are manufactured by Smith Equipment. They are the finest made and now have an incredible
3 year factory warranty. They hold the steadiest pressures of any single stage regulator and provide years of trouble
free service. Adjustable with tank and line pressure gauges. Regulators are sold separately, not in pairs. The robust
American Medium Duty regulators can handle up to twelve smaller torches in a large studio or classroom setup. The
American Heavy Duty regulators are capable of operating the large studio or classroom setup using larger size
torches. The two stage regulators are designed to hold pressures steady over very long periods of time by regulating
the set pressure in two stages. This two stage regulation slightly reduces the gas flow capacity and may not be
necessary in your application, as lampworking flame settings are typically changed frequently.
The Import Standard Duty regulators can handle one to about five torches, depending upon torch sizes and are
proving themselves to be reliable. The Import regulators are adequate, but do have a typical incident rate that import
regulators tend to have. They only have a 90 day warranty. Also available are two economy fuel gas regulators.
Neither one has gages. On one of the regulators, the pressure is adjustable. The other one, it is not. For use with one
or two small torches only.

the barb connections at torch. The 12½'' BB and 25' BB hoses have "B" fittings at both ends. Propane will eventually
rot standard grade R welding hose. Longer hoses available. To assure you order the proper hose size, please specify
which torch you have.
CARLISLE RMB ROLLER FOOT PEDAL ..... $427.00
The RMB Roller foot pedal is designed to control the flame of a single flame torch, or the center flame or the smaller
flame of a two flame torch. The RMB has two rollers mounted in a sturdy stainless steel enclosure. You use your left
foot to control the oxygen flow by moving the roller forward to increase flow and backward to decrease flow. Moving
the roller all the way backwards completely shuts off the oxygen. The fuel gas is controlled by the right foot similarly to
the oxygen roller, except, moving the roller totally backwards will always allow a small amount of fuel gas to pass to
the torch to maintain a pilot light. The RMB is not recommended for use with triple mix Glass Torch Technology
torches. The RMB connects to the hoses with ―B‖ size fittings. See Hose Set For Foot Switch Or Foot Pedal. For
safety, always monitor the pilot light and turn off the fuel gas and oxygen at the torch and shut down the tanks when
not using lampworking equipment. The standard RMB has its pilot permanently set for propane. Please specify if you
intend to use the RMB on any other kind of fuel gas.
CARLISLE EL-2 FOOT SWITCH ..... $496.00
The EL-2 foot operated gas saver works on any size torch. The EL-2 utilizes two electrically operated solenoid gas
valves actuated by a separate foot switch. The valves are ―Normally Closed‖ when the foot pedal is not depressed or
when there is an electrical outage. Typical application is on the outer flame or larger separate flame of a two flame
torch. On applications where you need both hands to hold the work piece, the EL-2 allows you to use your foot to bring
in the larger flame (that you preset) and then remove it without letting go of the work piece and thereby keeping control
of it. To use the EL-2 on the outer flame or larger separate flame without affecting the inner flame or smaller separate
flame, you must have a torch that has separate hoses for each flame. The EL-2 connects to the hoses with ―B‖ size
fittings. See above, Hose Set For Foot Switch Or Foot Pedal. For safety, always turn off the fuel gas and oxygen at
the torch and shut down the tanks when not using lampworking equipment. Operates on a standard 120 volt outlet.
HOSE SET FOR FOOT SWITCH OR FOOT PEDAL
12½' BC ..... $34.00; 12½' BB ..... $34.00
¼‖ ID by 12½', twin lead, Grade T hoses are designed to connect a foot switch or foot pedal to a torch. Made up of two
lengths. One 7’ long, with ―B‖ size fittings at both ends to connect at one end to the regulator, or splitter, and the other
end to the input side of the switch or pedal. The second hose is 5½’ long. One end has ―B‖ fittings to connect to the
output side of the switch or pedal. The 12½' BB model has ―B‖ fittings on the other end of the hose to connect to
torches that require hoses to have ―B‖ fittings, like the Carlisle CC or the Premier 8M. The 12½' BC model has cut ends
at the end of the 5½’ hose that connects to torches that use hose barbs, like all Nortel and Glass Torch Technologies
torches, and comes with two hose clamps. You will also need to add a splitter and a second regular hose if the switch
or pedal are not controlling both flames of a two flame torch. Included are hose couplers to connect the 7’ and the 5½’
hoses together without the use of a switch or pedal.
11
GAS SAVER
WDW-100 ..... $172.60;
WDW-103 ..... $180.40;
WDW-104 ..... $159.70
Used with a hand held torch to shut off the oxygen and fuel gas to the torch without changing the adjustments of the
valves on the torch. The Gas Saver is used by attaching it to the edge of a work bench using screws or clamps. The
hoses supplying the oxygen and fuel gases, as well as the torch, connect to the Gas Saver by ―B‖ size fittings. When
the torch is hung on the Gas Saver’s shut off arm, that extends out past the bench, the gases to the torch are shut off.
Lift the torch from the arm and the gases immediately flow through the torch at the rate that you preset torch’s valves
to. Move the torch head to the built-in pilot light to ignite the flame. The model WDW-100 is for use with MAPP or
propylene and oxygen. The model WDW-103 is for use with low pressure natural gas or propane (less than 2 psi) and
oxygen. The WDW-103 is the only model that has a pilot light not internally supplied. It requires a separate gas
connection for the pilot light of at least 2psi, of either natural gas or propane, through a ¼‖ hose barb fitting. The WDW104 model is for use with high pressure (2 psi or greater) natural gas or propane.
GAS SPLITTERS
Gas splitters allow you to connect more than one torch to a gas supply. The most common splitter is the Y which has
three ports, or connections. Its name comes from its shape. All splitters use one port to let in the oxygen or fuel gas
and the other remaining ports to redistribute the gas. It is recommended that you use a flashback arrestor between the
torch and regulator. If the flashback arrestor is located between the regulator and the splitter then only one flashback
arrestor per regulator will protect the gas cylinder from a flashback reaching it from all connected torches. With the
exception of the Y WITH VALVES, which lets you shut off individual ports, you will need to cap off any outlet port that
does not have a torch connected to it. The Y, T, CROSS and SHOWER HEAD splitters have fittings on them to
connect directly to the regulator or flashback arrestor. The T CROSS, DOUBLE CROSS, T DOUBLE CROSS, T
TRIPLE CROSS, HEX and IN-LINE splitters have fittings that connect them to the regulator or flashback arrestor with
a lead hose between them (sold separately). This allows you to run the gases closer to the work area before splitting
them, thereby eliminating a tangled hose mess. See above for 3/8‖ ID, 12½' BB and 25' BB hoses with B fittings at
both ends. Right hand threads are used for oxygen connections. Left hand threads are used for fuel gas.

SMIRCICH-HENLEY GRAPHITE PADDLE ...... $25.00
This 2‖ X 4‖ graphite paddle incorporates the Smircich Tail Stock Holder (listed separately in this catalog) into its
design. One of the outside corners is clipped off at a 45º angle and has a cup shape. Vince Henley greatly improved
on this by designing a stainless steel insert for the cup shape. Like the Smircich Tail Stock Holder, the paddle’s special
feature is used by placing the tip of the mandrel into the cup to steady it. By holding the paddle/tail stock holder in one
hand and the mandrel in the other, you can control the bead within the flame more easily. It becomes instantly more
stationary as you rotate the mandrel allowing you to place the bead in the flame exactly where you need it and keep
the bead on center.
MINI GRAPHITE SHAPING TOOLS
12 different mini graphite shaping tools come in a variety of shapes to perform all kinds of glass manipulations. Some
tools are simple in their design while others have more complicated surfaces. The handles are 5/16‖ diameter, 4-3/4‖
long aluminum and are light enough to allow you feel the tool working the glass. Below is a description of the graphite
of each tool. The thickness of all shapes is ¼‖ unless otherwise stated. All sizes are approximate.

STUMP SHAPER
2" X 2½" Graphite..... $28.00; 2" X 4" Graphite..... $32.00
1½" X 2" High Quality Brass ..... $50.00
1-1/8" X 2-1/8" Small Brass or 1¾‖ X 2¼‖ Large Brass ..... $35.00
Designed for glass bead sculptural genius Loren Stump to aid him in producing the incredible detail and definition he
has become so famous for. One long side has a radius on its edge. The opposite side has a 1/4" radius that tapers to a
point at the end of the paddle where the corner of the paddle is rounded. The end of the paddle is machined to a chisel
edge. The High Quality Brass Stump Shaper is made in America and has a much sharper chisel edge than the less
expensive imports. You will find that this will be a most valuable tool in creating your own sculptural beads and
murrinis. Actual sizes may vary.
13
GUARINO GROOVY TOOL
2" X 2½" ..... $35.00; 2" X 4" ..... $40.00
The new Guarino Groovy Tool is a modified Graphite Stump Shaper. Designed by Andrea Guarino-Slemmons and her
husband Whit Slemmons, the unique grooves make this tool a wonder for applying metal leaf and foil to hot glass
beads, by burnishing it along the curves and right down to and around the mandrel holes. Note: The grooves do make
the tool more delicate. Mishandling will lead to the tip breaking. As with all Arrow Springs made graphite tools, we will
redress damaged tools to new like condition for free, but the overall length of the graphite will be shorter. See details at
beginning of tools section.
MIKIE SHAPER ...... $25.00
Originally designed for making core vessels, the Mikie shaper has come to be an excellent general purpose shaping
tool. Mounted to a durable heat resistant handle, a piece of graphite measuring ¾‖ X ¾‖ has a radius running down the
overall length, which is 2½‖. At the end is a chisel tip.
DINAH MASHER ...... $35.00
Graphite mashing paddle. Used to mash glass against a marvering pad. A 2‖ X 3‖ graphite block, ¾‖ thick, has a
contoured wood handle mounted to center of one of the graphite’s large sides.
KEVIN O’GRADY BRACELET MARVER ...... $45.00
Use to gently marver glass against a marvering pad when making glass bracelets using the Kevin O’Grady method. A
2‖ X 6‖ graphite pad has a 10‖ handle attached at a comfortable angle to the center of one of the broad surfaces.
SPINNING TOP MOLD
1‖ Diameter ...... $35.00;
1½‖ Diameter ..... $40.00
Easily create 1‖ or 1½‖ diameter spinning tops. Each size mold has two profiles, one for the top side and another for
the bottom side. It also creates the spinning point and sets the handle location.
CYLINDER SPEED SHAPER ..... $65.00
The Cylinder Speed Shaper is one of the most innovative lampworking tools to have been developed in years. Now
you can quickly and expertly shape cylinder beads on both the cylinder side and at the end—all in one, smooth motion.
Plus, you’ll get the crispest edges you’ve ever seen! You’ll be able to produce consistent results in far less time.
Without a doubt, the Cylinder Speed Shaper is an innovation as important to making cylindrical beads as was the
mandrel. You’ll see the difference it makes when your beads nestle up to another flat surface as on a pen body or cap
of a BeadPen.
BAROQUE SHAPER .... $30.00
Graphite mold has two sizes of Ogee profiles to make beads with a baroque look.
KIM CYLINDER, CONE AND VESSEL SHAPER .... $35.00
This is one of the most versatile graphite glass shaping tools. It is used for shaping bi-cones, cones and vessel
shapes. It can be used two different ways. One method is to hold the mandrel, with glass on it, perpendicular to the
direction of the tapered V groove and rotate the mandrel to shape a symmetrical bi-cone with straight sides and a 90º
center angle. The over all size of the bi-cone is determined by the amount of glass originally put onto the mandrel, up
to what will fit in the mold. The other method is to hold the mandrel, with glass on it, parallel to the direction of one of
the two V grooves. Two tapered grooves are arranged in reverse to each other to facilitate easy shaping on both the
left and right side of the bead. By holding the mandrel at different angles to the groove, you can make any length or
angle cone, bi-cone or vessel shape with either a straight or curved profile. Typically, one end of a bi-cone is shaped in
one of the V grooves, then the other end is shaped in the other V groove. The over all size of the finished shape is not
limited by the size of the V groove.

OSIBIN FORMER
Small ..... $30.00;
Medium ..... $35.00;
Large ..... $40.00;
X-Large ..... $45.00
Graphite shaping tool for superbly making the subtle shapes that make the best goddess, fish and bug bodies as well
as elegant amphora vessel shapes and ovals. Each side of this two sided shaping paddle has one half of an oval
shape cut into it. The oval starts as a narrow and shallow curve, and as it widens out it gets deeper. The radius of the
curve of the oval is different on each side of the shaping paddle, for all four different sizes. These tools are so flexible,
that they can make very small or very large shapes, all faster and better than using a traditional flat paddle. The
former’s curved profile is cut using a ball shaped cutter. The Small size Osibin Former has curves made from 1‖
diameter and a 1¼‖ diameter cutters. The Medium size is made from 1½‖ and 2‖ cutters. The Large 2½‖ and 3‖. The XLarge 3½ and 4‖.
OSIBIN CURVE SHAPER ..... $40.00
The graphite Osibin Curve Shaper has a large curve area, like a half-pipe, for making curvy specialty shapes.
OSIBIN SPHERE, OBLATE AND DISC FORMER ..... $50.00
The Osibin Sphere, Oblate and Disc Former is a graphite shaping tool with six different, round bottomed, grooves,
three on each side. At the edge of the tool, the grooves are about one and one half as deep as they are wide. As the
grooves extend into the graphite, they become shallower, until there is no depth left. Each groove is a different width to
create different bead sizes. Groove widths are 3/8‖, 1/2", 5/8‖, 3/4", 7/8‖ and 1‖. The former will make an oval bead
when working close to the shallow end. A little further in creates a nice sphere or round bead. Towards the deeper
end will form an oblate bead and near the very end will create perfect donut or disc beads.
OSIBIN LENTIL SHAPER ..... $35.00
Graphite shaping tool for making lentil bean shaped beads. Better than pressing the glass between two curved shapes
of a mashing tool because each of the tool’s four diameters has a different curve to them that, when worked over the
glass, can give you near limitless diameters and profiles. Used by heating one side of the bead and working the molten
glass in the mold, then heating the other side and working that side. The final form takes shape surprisingly fast.
GRAPHITE ARROW HEAD FLARING TOOL
Narrow or Wide ..... $35.00
Used to flare open the bowl or foot of a goblet or any other similar operation. The 3/8‖ thick graphite is shaped like an
arrow head, with the two rounded off angled sides being slightly curved outwards. The tool is used by inserting the
pointed tip into the opening to be flared. As the glass piece is rotated, the point of the tool is typically tipped at an angle
and further inserted into the opening. As the opening increases in size, and the tool is further inserted into the opening,
the area where the edge of the graphite contacts the glass become further apart, thereby making for a smoother flaring
operation. The size of the Narrow tool is 1½‖ wide by 4‖ long. The Wide tool is 2½‖ X 2½‖.
GRAPHITE REMNANTS .... $8.50 per pound
Example: about $1.70 for a ½" x 2" x 3" piece. Small random sizes of graphite that you can carve with simple hobby
tools or sand into shape. Make tools such as shapers, pokers, press molds or even optic molds.

TILKER SHAPER - UTILITY BLADE TOOL ….. $14.95
A sturdy upgrade from the Sharon Shaper. The Tilker Shaper blade is securely held in with 2 screws. We also added a
convenient frit scoop at the back end. 3/8‖ diameter handle.
PETERS TWEEZERS ..... $9.00
The Peters Tweezers is a dual purpose tool. Originally, the tool was designed to symmetrically locate the eye locations
on fish beads, but it also excels at quick and very easy to make loops and holes for pendants, vessels and buttons.
Standard designed tweezers have their tips run parallel to each other. These specially modified tweezers have their
pointed ends bent around so that the very end of their points point directly at each other. To use to symmetrically
locate the eyes on a fish bead: heat up the area where both eyes will be located, place the points of the tweezers
around the head of the fish and gently squeeze them into the glass. The tweezers will leave small dents which will
indicate where you should place the eyes. This method also works great for locating opposite sides of any bead or
marble up to 1¼‖ across. To make loops and holes: place a small amount of glass shaped like a tall bump at the
desired location. Heat up just the bump to just shy of it melting down. Quickly place the points of the tweezers to the
center of the heated bump and squeeze together. As soon as the tips touch, move the handle back and forth a couple
of times in a motion that makes the points rotate in the center of the hole. This motion breaks apart the fine web that
would otherwise bridge across the middle of the hole. Remove the tweezers and reheat the glass area making up the
hole, being careful not to melt the hole closed. Again place the tweezers in the hole and stretch out the hole to the
desired size and shape. To make a large loop, simply start with a larger bump of glass. You may also need to reheat
more than one time. For a wider loop, start with a bump that is slightly oval shaped at its base.
STAINLESS STEEL MARVERING PAD ..... $7.00
Heavy gauge stainless steel, that sits 3/8" off the table, makes a great alternative to graphite. Since stainless steel has
a relatively low thermal conductivity, you will find that it probably will never get hot enough to stick to glass. 6" X 6"

1/4‖ ..... $.70; 3/8‖ ..... $.90; 1/2‖ ..... $1.25;
3/4‖ ..... $1.50
Smooth graphite pad for marvering. Works great for flattening the bottom of vessels or holding pieces of silver, gold or
palladium leaf when you roll the hot glass bead over them. Also makes an excellent "no wash" kiln shelf. No matter
how hot it gets, glass will never stick to it. When used as a kiln shelf, it will disintegrate. Special sizes available.
PLATFORM MARVER™ ..... $45.00
The large 6‖ x 6‖ graphite pad sits 5.25‖ high on a stainless steel stand. Place it on your worktable, to the side of your
torch or just below your flame. The graphite’s elevation and location to the flame makes marvering or pickup quick and
easy with plenty of clearance from the worktable for your hand.
ALUMINUM SHAPING MARVER ..... $8.50
One side is flat and can be used as a marver. The other side has ridges running the length and is used for applying
straight or angled groves or flutes to the surface of beads. Very effective design aid and very easy to use. 2" X 4"

Variety Pack- 2 each of all diameters except the 1/4‖ size
9‖ Length ..... $9.50; 12‖ length ..... $13.00
Stainless steel rods on which to make beads. 1/8‖ (large size) and smaller are priced per dozen. 5/32‖ and 3/16‖ are
priced per half dozen. The 1/4‖ size is priced per three. The most popular diameter is 3/32‖ followed by 1/16‖ then 1/8‖.
The most popular length is 12‖, especially in the larger diameters, because often a large mandrel is used for larger
glass items with a larger flame. Longer mandrels are also easier to place into an annealer.
PUFFY MANDRELS
3/32" Diameter “Puffy Mandrel”: 1 Piece ..... $8.00; 2 Pack ..... $15.00; 5 Pack ..... $35.00
1/8" Diameter “Puffy Mandrel”: 1 Piece ..... $9.00; 2 Pack ..... $17.00; 5 Pack ..... $40.00
Mixed Pack: 6 Piece - 3 each of the above sizes ..... $45.00
¼" Diameter Hollow Bead Mandrel: 12" length ..... $18.00; 16" length ..... $19.00
Make hollow beads much easier than the old fashioned way, using these stainless steel tube mandrels with a small
blow hole on their side. The Puffy Mandrels are 12" long and have a small hole drilled in their side near one end of the
tube. Dip the end of the Puffy Mandrel, that has the side blow hole, in mandrel release, well past the side hole, as you
would a regular mandrel. Place your finger over the dipped end of the mandrel and gently blow through the other end
to clear out the mandrel release from the side blow hole, leaving the dipped end of the mandrel tube plugged. As with
the traditional way of making hollow beads, start by creating two disks of glass on either side of the side blow hole.
After the symmetrical disks are formed, bring their edges together using a graphite paddle. A Kim Cone and Vessel
17
Shaper does this operation much easier. Now is where the Puffy Mandrel shows its stuff. Heat the glass to be pliable
and gently blow thorough the cool end of the mandrel to form the shape. The ¼" Hollow Bead Mandrel is welded
sealed at the end where the hollow bead is formed. Puffy Mandrels are a little delicate. The ¼" Hollow Bead Mandrel is
made from our Heavy Wall Stainless Steel Tubing and is incredibly durable.
THIMBLE MANDRELS
Medium ..... $12.50; Large ..... $12.50
These Thimble Mandrels make real functional glass thimbles of the same sizes usually found in the sewing notions
department. Thimbles are very popular as collector items. The mandrel is sized to allow for mandrel release.
EMIKO’S BIG GLASS HOLE MANDREL
3/16‖, 1/4‖ or 5/16‖ ‖ ..... $10.00; 3/8‖ ..... $10.00; 7/16‖ or 1/2‖ ..... 11.00;
9/16‖ or 5/8‖ ..... 12.00; 11/16‖ or 3/4‖ ..... 13.00; 13/16‖ or 7/8‖ ..... 14.00;
15/16‖ or 1‖ ..... 15.00; 1-1/4‖ ..... 18.00; 1-1/2‖ ..... 20.00, Long 1-1/2‖ ..... 25.00
Used to make large holes in glass beads, rings, sculpture or for core formed vessels. A large diameter stainless rod, 2"
long with a 5/32" diameter (slightly larger than 1/8") mandrel attached as a handle. The total length is 12". The 5/16‖
and smaller sizes have 1/8‖ handles. The Long 1-1/2" size head is 3" long and it has a ¼" handle with an overall length
of 18". The handle is thin enough to make quicker rotations and marvering easier than if the whole tool was the same
diameter as you would have if you were to use tubing, yet thick enough to make it hard to bend. Also, unlike tubing,
you do not need to worry about moisture getting trapped in the handle and burning you. The large diameter stainless
rod is cored out, on all but the 5/16‖ and smaller diameter sizes, 7/8 of its 2" length to make it lighter. The end of the
large diameter rod is solid so that the cored out area does not fill up when it dipped in mandrel release.
OSIBIN CONE AND END CAP MANDREL
3/8‖ ..... 12.00; 1/2‖ ..... $12.00; 5/8‖ ..... 13.00;
3/4‖ ..... 14.00; 7/8‖ ..... 15.00; 1‖ ..... 15.00
Used to for making cone shaped beads, such as bead caps, end caps to collect multiple strings of beads, bugle beads
and vessel shapes. A tapered stainless steel cone is attached to an 1/8‖ mandrel, 12‖ long. The point of the cone
begins about ½‖ from the end of the mandrel. The overall length of the cone is about 1-5/8‖. The wide end of the cone
comes in five diameters, thereby giving you five angles to choose from.
HEAVY WALL STAINLESS STEEL TUBING
1/4" x 12‖ ..... $9.50; 1/4" x 16‖ ..... $10.50;
1/2‖ x 12‖ ..... 10.00; 1/2‖ x 16‖ ..... 11.50
3/8‖ x 12‖ ..... 10.00;
3/8‖ x 16‖ ..... 11.00;
Used for blowing and punties, as well as for making large holes in glass beads. The extra heavy wall thickness offers
enough strength to hold up to a strong grip from pliers when removing stubborn glass. The 16‖ length is ideal for
blowing, because its length puts the work at the same distance from your eyes that most people normally work at.
TRIMLETT TWO HOLE BUTTON MANDREL
1/16‖ or 3/32‖ ..... $5.50
Used to make two hole buttons and beads. This tool is shaped like a tuning fork. The end of the stainless steel
mandrel that the button or bead is made on is a mandrel bent like a hair pin with a length of about 1½". The curve of
the bend is welded to a stainless steel 1/8‖ X 9" mandrel as a handle. The 1/16" size has 1/16" tines spaced about
3/16‖ (5mm) apart and the 3/32" size has 3/32" tines spaced about 1/4‖ (6mm) apart. The distance between the two
tines can be adjusted, using small pliers, to suit your application. Use with mandrel release, as you would with a
regular mandrel. Button mandrels, with their two parallel rods, are a little harder to remove from the glass piece,
because they have to be wiggled free instead of rotated free as you would do with a single rod bead mandrel. Also, the
thinner 1/16‖ size is more susceptible to bending while removing the button, but easily straightened out with small
pliers.
SMIRCICH TAIL STOCK HOLDER ...... $8.50
Designed by Jim Smircich to make those technically perfect beads he is famous for. It is a wooden contoured handle
that holds a brass rod with a cup shape near its end. Place the tip of the mandrel into the cup to steady it. By holding
the tail stock holder in one hand and the mandrel in the other, you can control the bead within the flame more easily. It
18
becomes instantly more stationary as you rotate the mandrel allowing you to place the bead in the flame exactly where
you need it and keep the bead on center.
MANDREL PIN VISE ..... $20.00
Holds mandrels or tungsten rods up to 5/32". Uses a miniature three jawed chuck, similar to that on a drill. Use this
vise if you find that holding the regular thin bare mandrels is difficult. Simply remove the mandrel from the handle along
with the bead when the bead is done and insert a new mandrel into the handle. The hollow handle allows you to insert
the mandrel or rod as far as you desire. 3/8" diameter X 6½".
SMALL ECONOMY PIN VISE ...... $4.00
4½" pin vise has reversible collets at each end giving a range of holding from 0" to 1/8". Use to hold mandrels or
tungsten rods.
LARGE PIN VISE ...... $12.95
A three jawed chuck, similar to that on a drill, mounted to a contoured wood handle. Designed to work with tungsten
rods, stainless steel rods, carbon rods or even to hold short glass rod ends up to 5/16" (7mm) diameter. Keeps fingers
from getting burned and gives you better leverage than just holding the rod.
TUNGSTEN PIN VISE ...... $5.00
A small pin vise with a wooden handle. Ideal for use with the TUNGSTEN RODS or REPLACEMENT TUNGSTEN
BENT RAKE listed below. The depth that the pin vise can hold a rod is from 1/2‖ to 2-1/4‖ Specify size to match the
diameter of the tungsten. Sizes: 1/16‖, 3/32‖ or 1/8‖. Bent Rake uses 3/32‖ size.
TUNGSTEN RODS
3¼" length - 1/16" ...... $3.00; 3/32" ...... $4.00; 1/8" ...... $5.00
7" length - 1/16" ...... $5.00; 3/32" ...... $7.00; 1/8" ...... $9.00
Best used with a PIN VISE listed above to make a replaceable TUNGSTEN RAKE/POKE. One end is ground to a long
point and the other end is ground to a short point. See description of uses listed below.
TUNGSTEN BENT RAKE
3/32" ...... $12.50; Replacement Tungsten ..... $7.50
The standard is a short tight bend. Specify if you prefer a longer tight bend or a curved bend. Similar to the
poker listed above. The difference being that the end of the rod is bent like a dental tool. The shaft of the rake is 3/32"
diameter to give it enough strength to endure the lateral forces that raking and shaping cause. The rake is thinner
throughout the length of the bend and ends in a point. Comes with the above listed TUNGSTEN PIN VISE. This is an
excellent tool not only for raking, but for sculpturing. Handle carefully and never force the rake against stiff glass to
prevent it from snapping.
REPLACEABLE TUNGSTEN STRAIGHT RAKE / POKER
1/16" ...... $8.00; 3/32" ...... $9.00; 1/8" ...... $10.00
A TUNGSTEN PIN VISE and a 3-¼‖ TUNGSTEN ROD together. The length that the tungsten extends from the handle
can be adjusted from 1‖ to 2-3/4‖. Used to poke holes in glass, make small bubbles, rake and "drag" glass for
feathering, marbling, etc. To poke holes in glass, warm the glass, but not hot enough to distort or glow red. Then heat
the tungsten rod until it glows bright red and push its point into the glass. Repeat this process until the hole is complete
or maintain the flame on the tungsten near the glass while pressing the tip into the glass. If done properly, tungsten will
not stick to glass like other metals do. Note: Tungsten is very brittle and will snap rather than bend. The 1/16" size is
especially delicate. A hole made with tungsten is smaller than a hole made with the corresponding size of mandrel,
because it has no mandrel release on it to add thickness.
STAINLESS STEEL RAKE ...... $6.00
A pointed 4" stainless steel rod bent at 45° near its end and mounted in a wood handle. Used to rake and "drag" glass
for feathering, marbling, etc.
19
BRASS PUNCH SET ...... $13.95
This set contains eight fractional sizes from 1/16" to 5/16". Brass punches are ideal for creating flat-bottomed, round
depressions in hot glass. Especially useful for making eye sockets and flower centers.
ROD REST ...... $7.00
Indispensable. Place your hot glass rods and tools on the rest to prevent them from burning the work table and picking
up debris that would find its way into your work. It also keeps tools and glass rods from rolling around and evenly
spaces them, making them quick and easy to pick up. A definite frustration eliminator. Holds 10 rods and/or tools. 7½"
long.
6" SHARP POINTED TWEEZERS ...... $3.00
Straight tipped. Used for very fine detail work. Caution: The very sharp and thin point can heat up very quickly and melt
or stick to your glass work if not used properly.
7" SOFT POINTED TWEEZERS ...... $3.50
Our most popular pointed tweezers. Specify straight or the more popular angled tip. Unlike the SHARP POINTED
TWEEZERS, the stainless steel that they are made from is thicker, giving you a lot more working time before the
tweezers get too hot and need to be cooled. Ideal for most delicate work. These tweezers do not have serration.

Blunt End Tweezers are used for shaping molten glass, such as fish fins, candy wrappers, flower petals and leaves
and ruffles as well as for pinching off unwanted bubbles, holding glass components for flame annealing and placing
them into the annealer and stripping the surface of large diameter glass rods to expose the cleaner center for
encasing. Unless otherwise specified, we will ship the Heavy Duty Tweezers with NO Serration as standard, as they
are best for shaping and they hold components near as well as tweezers with serration.
4 PIECE SMALL TWEEZERS SET ..... $7.50
Four different small tweezers used for a variety of lampworking glass manipulation and holding as well as for jewelry
work and beading. One tweezers is like the MICRO TWEEZERS MASHERS. It is 4¼‖ long and has small flat thin pads

manipulate molten glass or to carve wax or clay. Some of the ends in this set have needle like points, similar to a glass
rake. This 12 piece set also contains the 4 tools that are in the 4 PIECE SCULPTING SET.
BEAD CLEANING BRUSH ...... $4.00
Double ended brush for gently cleaning mandrel release any bead holes 3/32" and larger and fiber paper used in
fusing.
BEAD CLEANING WIRES
Regular or Thin Diameter ...... $4.50
Spiral cut wire mounted in a convenient handle. Abrasive cleaning action will gently remove stubborn mandrel release
in bead holes 1/16" and larger. Bead Cleaning Wires are not as aggressive as diamond cleaning tools. They do not
remove glass as they clean and they wear out after a few dozen holes. The Thin Diameter Wire does not last as long
as the Regular Diameter Wire.
BEAD HOLE REAMERS ...... $5.00
Small particles of tungsten carbide are fused onto a wire with a handle. Very aggressive cleaning tool actually will
remove a small amount of glass as it cleans the hole, yet not damage the bead, assuring no trace of mandrel release.
For holes 3/32" and larger.

DIAMOND BEAD HOLE CLEANING AND DRESSING KIT
Wood handled pin vise with 4 diamond tools ..... $7.50
Replacement diamond tools. Large File .....$2.50; Small File ..... $2.00;
Angled Cone ..... $1.50; Set of all 4 ..... $6.00
Blunt Angled or Sharp
The ultimate tools for cleaning out mandrel release from the bead hole and removing the sharp edges. The kit contains
two round, tapering steel rods that are covered in fine diamonds; a large one for average to large beads and a small
one for very small bead holes. Also included are a Blunt Angled and a Sharp Angled diamond coated cone shapes for
removing the sharp edges at the bead hole. The Metal Pin Vise set has a hollow handle and doubles as storage for the
diamond tools. HINT: Use a cordless drill or flex shaft to turn the diamond tools while holding the bead in a bowl of
water. All diamond tools are most effective when used with water. Water greatly helps to flush out the hole and prevent
the diamond tool from overheating as well as prevent dust. Caution: Do not use AC electric tools in this manner – use
only cordless models to avoid electrical shock hazards. Diamond tools will outlast any other bead hole cleaning tool
and is therefore more cost and time effective.
BEAD HOLE DIAMOND DRESSERS
Ball End or Cone End ..... $6.00
See above for usage descriptions. A small ball shape or cone shape covered with diamonds and mounted in a metal
―Hobby Knife‖ style handle. Place the diamond end to the bead hole and rotate under water. It will remove sharp
edges, making even the roughest bead hole beautifully "pooched" and not a "STRING CUTTER".
BEAD HOLE DIAMOND FILES
Small ...... $4.25; Medium ...... $6.00;
Large ...... $11.95
Round diamond needle files work great for cleaning bead holes made on larger size mandrels. A small file can clean a
small or large hole, but a large file can clean out a large hole much faster and easier. Half the length of each file is
handle. The other half is covered with diamonds tapering down to a point. Hold in your hand to use, or slip off the
rubber grip on the handle and use a cordless drill to make the job go faster. The diameter, at the largest area, of the
Small size is 3 mm, about 1/8‖. The diameter of the Medium size is 4 mm, about 3/16‖. The Large is 6 mm, about 1/4".
DIAMOND FILE SETS
Small ...... $6.95; Large ...... $7.95
These five piece diamond file sets have 101 uses. From the classic round needle file for cleaning bead holes to the flat
file for straightening the end of the bead. Also included are a half round, square and triangle needle shapes. Excellent
for PMC.
GRINDING STONE ...... $2.00
Simply wet stone and file the end of the bead to remove sharp edges.
GLASS BLOWING SHEARS
8‖ Cup Shears ..... $45.00; 9‖ Trim Shears ..... $45.00
The cutting blades of these high quality, classic design, glass blowing shears are made from an incredibly tough steel
for years of service. The 8‖ Cup Shears have a 1‖ blade length and are excellent for small close work such as cups
and small vessels. The 9‖ Trim Shears have a 1¾‖ blade length for more general purpose use.
8” DIAMOND SHEARS ..... $40.00
This age old design is now available in a size geared to lampworking. The blades of these shears are each shaped
with a large V in them. When the shears are closed onto hot, pliable glass, up to 1‖ in diameter, they form a square, or
diamond, around the glass, contacting it in four spots. Squeeze the shears closed a little, and the glass uniformly
constricts. Close the shears all the way and the glass is cut clean. These new shears are an enhanced version of our
old 6‖ Diamond Shears; the finger loops are slightly larger, finger rests outside the finger loops have been added, the
distance between your hand and the hot glass is longer, the cutting steel is even better than it was before, and the
blade taper has been increased to aid in cutting. As with most Arrow Springs tools, pictures are available at
ArrowSprings.com.

NIPPERS
Disk ..... $25.00; Standard ..... $20.00;
Replacement disks ..... $16.00 per pair
Budget ..... $15.00
Used to cut glass rods and very thin slices of millefiori and murrini canes. All are modified so their jaws close enough
to cut even the thinnest stringers. The straight jawed Standard and Economy nippers are the traditional type, while the
more popular Disk nippers (a.k.a. mosaic cutters) are a newer design that use disks to cut the glass.
SMIRCICH BUTTON MASHER ..... $30.00
Developed by Jim Smircich, the Smircich Button Masher is a pliers with a stainless pad on each jaw set parallel to
each other at 1/8‖. One pad extends further than the other. To shape a button you first melt a round ball of glass at the
end of a glass rod. Next, set the end of the molten glass ball onto a graphite pad, with the glass rod pointing skyward,
to flatten the end of the glass ball. Reheat the glass and use the mashers to shape the button face to a gentle dome
shape. The longer pliers pad shapes the face of the button while the shorter pad rests against the glass rod and
shapes the back of the button. The glass rod can later become the button’s loop.
BUTTON AND KNOB MOLDS
Standard or Special ..... $30.00;
All-in-One ..... $40.00
A graphite paddle with round shapes of different diameters and profiles for forming buttons and knobs. The Standard
paddle's shapes are more gentle and simpler than the Special's making it ideal for adding your own decorations to the
surface. The All-in One combines all the shapes from both button molds in a single paddle.
BEAD AND MARBLE MOLDS
6-in-One ..... $45.00; 3/8" with 1/2" or 5/8" with 3/4" ..... $30.00;
7/8" with 1" ..... $35.00
A graphite paddle with shapes machined into it with a high temperature resistant handle. The 6-in-One has six half
spheres to make round beads and marbles. 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8" and 1". Three on one side and three on the
other. A mandrel groove is cut across the surface, through the middle of the spheres, to accommodate a mandrel while
making beads. The groves do not interfere when making marbles. The three other Bead And Marble Molds each
have a combination of two sizes and two different shapes for each size. On one side is a half sphere to make round
beads and marbles. On the other is a half cylinder that is rounded at one end and extends to the edge of the graphite
at the other end to make cylindrical beads. Both sides have the mandrel grooves.
MARBLE MOLDS
6-in-One ..... $40.00; 4-in-One .. $100.00; 1-1/4" .... $28.00; 1-1/2" .... $30.00; 1-3/4‖ ....

Similar in design as above, except without the mandrel groves, The 6-in-One has 6 holes, 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8"
and 1". The 4-in-One has 4 holes, 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 1-3/4‖ and 2". The other sizes, 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 1-3/4", 2", 2-1/2‖, 3‖,
3-1/2‖ and 4‖ have only one hole per paddle.
MARBLE TWEEZERS ..... $8.00
6½" tweezers with 5/8" cups at the end to hold spherical objects such as marbles.
23
12” HOLDING TWEEZERS ..... $12.00
These tweezers are great for grasping glass components and sculpture while flame annealing and for placing them
into the annealer. Modified 12‖ Blunt End Tweezers, the tips are curved to grab around the glass, instead of just
pinching, as do regular tweezers. This gives you a more secure hold. Non-serrated design helps to not mar the glass.
HOT FINGERS
Small, Medium or Large ..... $48.00;
Extra Large ..... $60.00
A sliding collar closes four spring steel "fingers" around hot buttons, marbles, goblets or irregular shaped objects to
assist in holding while working them in the flame. The Small size is ideal for buttons and marbles between 3/8" and
3/4". The Medium will hold marbles up to 1½" in diameter. The Large is for 2" marbles and small goblets. The Extra
Large size has six ―fingers‖ for almost twice the holding power and can hold objects up to 3‖ in diameter. The three
smaller sizes are approximately 9‖, 10‖ and 11’’, respectively, in length. The Extra Large size is approximately 22‖
long. Available with flared ends for holding from the inside of some objects. If you do not specify with or without flare,
we will ship without flare. While the flare ends can be very helpful, they are rarely needed and usually in the way.
BBQ MASHERS
Quality ..... $40.00
The quality BBQ mashers are our most popular mashing tool. The design is similar to BBQ tongs. 12" long with rubber
handles and flat, thick, 2" square stainless steel mashing surfaces. There is an adjustable set screw to stop the
mashing distance.
OLIVE MASHERS
Small or Large ..... $50.00
Designed just like the BBQ Mashers, except instead of having flat surfaces for mashing the glass, they are curved to
make olive shaped beads. The two curves come together like this, ( ). The curve of the small Olive Mashers is that of a
2½‖ diameter circle, and is 1-3/8‖ long. The curve of the large Olive Mashers is that of a 3½‖ diameter circle, and is 2‖
long. The glass can be shaped on the curve of the pads to make beads that are longer or shorter than the length of the
mashing pads and have blunt or tapered ends.
LUDWIG CONCAVE MASHERS
Small or Large ..... $50.00
Concave mashers are the same tool as the Olive Mashers, except the curved shapes are reversed. The two curves
come together like this, ) (.
SMOOTH SURFACE MASHING PLIERS
Square Flat Smooth ..... $18.00; Round Flat Smooth ..... $18.00
Small Curved, Medium Curved or Large Curved ..... $18.00
The Square Flat Smooth mashers have 1½" square pads that when closed, are parallel at 3/16". The Round Flat
Smooth mashers have 2‖ round pads that when closed, are parallel at 1/16". The Small Curved mashers have pads
that are about 1½" square and are shaped into a curve that has the profile of a 7/8‖ diameter circle. The Medium
Curved mashers have pads that are about 1½" square and are shaped into a curve that has the profile of a 1-1/8‖
diameter circle. The Large Curved mashers have pads that are about 2" square and are shaped into a curve that has
the profile of a 4-1/4‖ diameter circle.
PARALLEL ACTION MASHING PLIERS ..... $40.00
These pliers are like the flat STANDARD MASHING PLIERS except, the mashing surfaces are mounted on parallel
action pliers instead of ordinary pliers. This causes the surfaces to remain truly parallel to each other whether they are
fully closed, fully open or anywhere in between. Maximum opening distance is 11/16".
MINI MASHERS ..... $18.00
The mashing surfaces are ¾" square stainless steel. They are mounted to jewelry pliers which makes them very
strong. They wont flex while mashing glass as it stiffens. A great tool for fine delicate work.
24
NEEDLE NOSE MASHING PLIERS ..... $10.00
Needle nose jewelry pliers that have been modified so that their jaws are parallel at 3/16" rather than when fully
closed. Used in narrow tight places. Especially useful when making murrini, such as letters where needle nose
mashers fit down the length of the work to help form the shape of the letter.
NARROW TWEEZERS MASHERS ..... $6.50
Narrow Tweezers Mashers are small, comfortable, all-round mashers for small to medium work. They are 51/2‖ long
and the ends are parallel at approximately 5 mm.
TWEEZERS MASHERS
8‖ ..... $10.00; 8‖ Angled ..... $12.00;
10‖ ..... $12.00; ..... 10‖ Angled ..... $14.00
8" Tweezers Mashers have ¾" square stainless steel mashing surfaces. The 10‖ Tweezers Mashers have 1-1/8"
square pads. The mashing surfaces of the regular Tweezers Mashers close together parallel. The mashing surfaces of
the Angled Tweezers Mashers come together at about a 30º angle for use in shaping glass to shapes such as the
bottom of a heart.
STAR MASHERS ..... $18.00
Used to make star murrini. Much easier than using a bead scale optic mold for the simple reason that when an optic
mold is scaled down, the viscosity of the glass stays the same. This makes it very difficult to get the glass down into
the mold, if not impossible. To use the star masher is very easy. Just form a cylinder of glass about ¾" in diameter and
an inch or two long. Punty it on an end. Heat only where you will pinch. Using the star mashers, pinch along the side of
the cylinder to form a leg of the star. Repeat around the cylinder to complete the star. You can fill in between the points
to round out the murrini or wipe on a thin layer of another color and re-pinch the points. Pull down the murrini as usual.
A smaller cylinder will have fewer points to the star. A larger cylinder will have more.
MICRO MASHING TWEEZERS ..... $3.50
4¾" long tweezers have small flat thin pads measuring ¼" X ½". Excellent for tiny detail work in tight places.
LEAF MASHING PLIERS
Realistic Small Curved Leaf or Large Flat Leaf ..... $18.00
Realistic Large Angled Leaf ..... $20.00
Traditional Flat Leaf ..... $16.00; Traditional Angled Leaf ..... $16.00
The realistic Leaf pliers come in three styles. Small curved shape scaled to bead and jewelry making, large flat or large
angled for larger jewelry and sculptural work. The realistic leaf pattern is on both sides of the mashing surfaces. The
Traditional Leaf Mashers have a pattern on only one side and the pattern is straight and ridged looking. The pattern
becomes more life like when you manipulate the glass. The Traditional Leaf mashers make leaves scaled to bead and
jewelry making.
JEWELRY PLIERS
$5.00 each except flat/round and concave/round nose ..... $8.50
Flat nose, round nose, long (chain) nose, bent long (chain) nose, needle nose, flat/round nose, round/concave nose,
side cutter or end cutter. Use these tools to assemble your finished beads into jewelry or to manipulate hot glass.
MURRINI HEMOSTATS ..... $25.00
Used to pick up hot or cold glass rods or murrini sections and add them to others. Many complex murrinis are
"bundled" from several different murrinis. The best way to bundle murrinis is to first preheat the individual parts in an
annealer. This prevents them from popping apart in the flame. Using the bent end Murrini Hemostats, reach into a hot
oven and grab a murrini, heat it in the flame, then nest it to others. The Murrini Hemostats are bent at 90°,
approximately 1" from the end, and the very tips have rounded grooves to securely hold the murrini components. The
grooves are so close to the end that they usually do not touch the glass that you are applying the murrini to.
25
LOOP HEMOSTATS
7‖ ..... $9.00; 9½" ..... $10.00
Hemostats with loops on their grabbing end. Ideal for securely picking up hot round or irregular shaped glass that you
might have preheated in an oven or maybe accidentally dropped off from your punty.
HEMOSTATS
3½" ..... $3.50;
5" or 6" ..... $5.50;
8" .....$7.50;
10" ..... $8.50
Use the longer hemostats for making buttons and small pendants. Many buttons are made with a copper wire loop on
the back. Bend a short length of wire into a U-like a short bobby pin. Then bend out the ends. Clamp a hemostat onto
the curve of the U to become a handle and then either add glass to the wire to create a button or first make a button on
a punty, heat its back and press the wire into it. You will probably find it easier to hold the hemostat shaft while making
glass items; it's easier to rotate. 8" hemostats have about 7" of shaft. Use the 3½" hemostats to clamp on the ends of
your beading string. They allow you to review your work without worry of the beads sliding off. Also, if you need to
remove the first bead strung, it's faster to remove the hemostat then it is to cut off the clasp end or unstring everything.
ITALIAN STYLE ROD HOLDER ..... $35.00
The Italian style glass rod holder is made from stainless steel and has an overall length of approximately 12‖, with a
heavy wall, 3/8‖ diameter hollow handle. The gripping end of the holder is designed like half a clothes pin that pinches
the glass rod as it sits in a V shaped trough. The extremely strong gripping action securely holds glass rods from as
small as about 2 mm up to about 12 mm. The best grip is attained by inserting the glass rod about 1‖ into the holding
area, but rods can be inserted to as much as 1¼‖. The glass rod then extends straight out the end of the holder.
UNCLE AL ROD GRABBER ..... $30.00
The Uncle Al Rod Grabber is very similar to the Italian Style Rod Holder, in the way that it grips glass rods. However,
the overall tool design is very different. It is actually a modified hemostat, approximately 9‖ long. It can hold glass rods
with diameters from as small as about 2 mm up to about 8 mm. The Uncle Al Rod Grabber does have an advantage
over the Italian Style Rod Holder, it can grab a 4 mm to 8 mm glass rod that is laying flat on the work table, without first
picking it up by hand. The best grip is attained by inserting the glass rod about ½‖ into the holding area, but rods can
be inserted to as much as 1½‖.
BOROSILICATE PUNTY HANDLES ..... $6.00 per pair
½‖ diameter, 8" long and tapered at one end down to ¼". Borosilicate glass rods make great punty handles. Use to
punty up marbles, buttons, sculptural work or for pulling down murrini. Borosilicate is a lot more resistant to thermal
shock than soft glass (Effetre/Moretti) which means that your work is less likely to crack off.
REGULAR CERAMIC FIBER INSULATING BLANKET ..... $10.00
Place your hot beads between these two 1" thick ceramic fiber blankets after flame annealing to help minimize thermal
shock (broken beads). This can work well on small beads, but kiln annealing is recommended for larger beads.
Ceramic fiber is a better insulator than vermiculite. The ceramic fiber is made of minerals and care should be taken
when handling, vermiculite contains naturally occurring asbestos. 6" X 12"
SUPER CERAMIC FIBER INSULATING BLANKET ..... $14.00
This ceramic fiber is made from the same material as the Regular Ceramic Fiber Insulating Blanket, however, it is
manufactured with a special process that makes the fibers soluble amorphous. This material is so safe that you can
actually breath and eat it. This blanket has the same insulating value as the regular blanket, but is not quite as durable.
6" X 12"
OVAL BRACELET MANDREL
Mandrel ..... $36.00; Mandrel With Base ..... $65.00
Used to make glass bracelets. The Mandrel with Bracket model comes with a 12‖ X 12‖ base that securely holds the
bracelet mandrel at the proper angle.
26
RING MANDREL ..... $22.00
This solid steel Ring Mandrel is ideal for making glass rings since it has no grooves or markings. Used for shaping and
sizing. Working area is 9" long for ring sizes 1 to 15.
GLASS ROD RACK
1-5/8‖ Holes X 12‖ Depth ..... $50.00;
2-1/4‖ Holes X 12‖ Depth ..... $65.00;
1-5/8‖ Holes X 17‖ Deep Depth ..... $55.00
2-1/4‖ Holes X 17‖ Deep Depth ..... $70.00
The glass rod rack holds glass rods, stringers, strips and even tools. The rod rack is made of PVC tubes bound
together with a stainless steel strap and back. The smaller rack’s holes are 1-5/8‖ square and arranged six wide and
four tall, for a total of twenty-four holes. Its outside dimension is 7‖ tall, 10-1/2‖ wide and either 12‖ or 17‖ deep. The
larger rack has 2-1/4" square holes that are arranged five wide and five tall, for a total of twenty-five holes. Its outside
dimension is 12‖ tall, 12‖ wide and either 12‖ or 17‖ deep. Their modular design allows for easy stacking. The 12‖
depth rack is ideal for 1/3 cut Moretti rods or any rods 16‖ or shorter. The 17‖ depth rack is ideal for 1/2 cut Moretti or
full length borosilicate colored rods or any rods 22‖ or shorter. Custom sizes and configurations available.
FRIT AND POWDER TROUGH
Small Combo ..... $15.00; Large ..... $20.00
Used to apply frit and powdered glass to hard and soft glasses, as well as Pixie Dust to soft glass. The trough is
shaped like half of a pipe that has been cut lengthwise and will sit on the work table without rocking. The frit or powder
is placed in the center area. As the hot glass work piece is set onto the frit or powder and rotated, the curved sides of
the trough help to keep the frit or powder surrounding the work piece. The frit or powder falls back on to the work piece
and tends to not spread down the length of the trough. Your work piece gets coated considerably faster and with less
applications than when using a flat marvering plate. Large trough measures 12‖ long by about 4‖ wide. The small
Combo trough measures 6‖ long and is reversible. On one side the width is 1½‖. Turn it over and the other side is 2‖
wide. The Small Combo trough comes with two disks, one for each side, that are used to push the material to the
center.
FRIT AND ANNEALING TRAY ….. $9.95 set of three
For annealing, these stainless steel trays hold marbles from rolling around and keep multiple lampworkers loose items
separate. At about 3‖ x 4½‖, a typical annealer can hold several trays across. As a frit tray, the low profile gives
mandrel clearance on narrow beads while still keeping the frit from spilling.
STUMP SUCKER
¾‖ Sucker ..... $40.00; 1‖, 1¼‖ or 1½‖ Sucker ..... $50.00;
Hose Set With Filter ..... $10.00
2‖ Sucker ..... $75.00
Used to vacuum case small glass sculptures that can be used for beads, buttons, small sculptures, marbles and small
paper weights as well as for making components in large paper weights and large sculptures. To use, place your glass
setup on the perforated graphite disk in the bottom of the tapered graphite hole. Heat up a glob of glass in the torch or
gather glass from a crucible. Heat the setup with a micro torch to prevent fine bubbles from forming on the surface. Be
careful not to over heat and distort the setup. Place the molten glass over the hole. You need to keep the molten glass
rather spherical while it seals the hole and begins to drop into the hole. Immediately suck on the hose. When done
properly, the molten glass will completely fill in around the setup. One hose can be shared with several Stump
Suckers. Requires advanced skill levels.
LATEX TUBING
5/32‖ ..... $.60 per foot; 3/16‖ ..... $.70 per foot; 1/4‖ ..... $.80 per foot
5/32‖ ..... $54.00 per roll; 3/16‖ ..... $63.00 per roll; 1/4‖ ..... $72.00 per roll
Used with a swivel and mouthpiece as in the Blow Hose Assembly. The 1/4‖ inside diameter tubing is used with a
filter and mouthpiece for the Stump Sucker. Hose measurements are ID, inside diameter. Wall thickness on the 5/32‖
size is 3/64‖. Wall thickness on the 3/16‖ and 1/4" sizes is 3/64‖. Rolls are 100 feet long and can be made up from as
many as four pieces.
27
BLOWING SWIVEL
3/16‖ - 90º Angle, 1/4‖ - 90º Angle, 3/16‖ Straight or 1/4‖ Straight ..... $10.00
3/8‖ - 90º Angle or 3/8‖ Straight ..... $12.50
Typical use for Swivels is as described above in a Blow Hose Assembly.
BLOW HOSE ASSEMBLY
3/16‖ or 1/4‖ Assembly ..... $19.00
Blow Hose assemblies are used to blow air into a glass tube, by mouth, while rotating the tube either by hand or lathe
and applying heat to it. Generally, one end of the tube is closed off, the other end has a swivel, usually a 90º angle
swivel, attached to it. Attached to the swivel is very flexible latex tubing. At the other end of the latex tubing is a plastic
mouthpiece for you to gently blow air through. The gentle air pressure keeps the glass tube from collapsing when it
gets hot and soft or it can inflate the tube to make vessels and other shapes. The swivel is attached to the glass tube
by either wrapping masking tape around the swiveling end until its diameter is large enough to wedge it into the glass
tube and make an air tight seal or by inserting the swivel end into a rubber stopper that has a hole in its middle and it is
wedged into the end of the glass tube. The 3/16” Blow Hose Assembly comes with a 3/16‖ diameter, 90º angle
swivel, six feet of 5/32‖ inside diameter latex tubing and two mouthpieces. The 1/4” Blow Hose Assembly comes with
a 1/4‖ diameter, 90º angle swivel, six feet of 5/32 inside diameter latex tubing and two mouthpieces.
BAZ BOX LEAF AND FOIL VACUUM TABLE ….. $89.95
No more chasing leaf and foil around the table. The Baz Box, conceived by Amnon Elbaz, is a very effective tool that
securely holds any leaf or foil by a gentle vacuum through very tiny holes in a thick gage stainless steel top plate.
Includes a stainless steel sheet that doubles as a cover for your leaf and foil when the Baz Box is not in use and also
as a partial leaf and foil cover so that when you pick up the leaf or foil with hot glass, the area covered is cleanly cut
and remains behind. Approximately 5‖ X 5‖, 3 speed fan, 9 Volt battery, included.
LAMPWORKING SPECTACLES
LENS OPTIONS
ACE Lenses
Arrow Vision – AV 2000
Whether you know them as AV 2000, Phillips 202, or one of several other trade names, ACE is the name Schott calls
their most popular lampworking filter lens. ACE exceeds light filtering in the UV (ultra violet), near IR (infrared) and
sodium flare spectrums than the old rose didymium lenses. Sodium flare is the bright yellow orange light that hot glass
produces while in the flame, It is also what irritates and fatigues your eyes the most. In addition, ACE color enhances
red, blue and green, making it easier to see a glass’ true color and judge its temperature while you work.
Green ACE Lenses
Green ACE, also known as Boroscopes Version 2, is a lens that gives extra protection in the UV, IR, and of particular
notice, the bright glow that very hot glass gives off, while still eliminating nearly all the sodium flare as regular ACE
does. This is important when working hard glass (borosilicate), and especially hard glass colors, because hard glass is
generally worked at hotter temperatures. These hotter temperatures increase all of these levels, to the point of
becoming potentially harmful, as well as being uncomfortable, if not properly filtered. Green ACE #3 and the even
darker #5 are considerably darker than regular ACE. The #3 shade is generally adequate for most hard glass
lampworking, if the glass is worked at lower to moderate temperatures. The darker #5 shade is suggested for working
conditions where the glass becomes so hot that it has an excessive brightness and/or the work piece is very large.
Regular ACE lenses can work for use with hard glass, if and only if, you work the glass at cooler temperatures and the
glass does not have a very bright glow. Green ACE does tend to flatten out colors.
Split Lenses
ACE and Green ACE lenses are also available within the same frames. See Microlite 8 Split Lens below.
All frames come with case and retainer cord.
Single Vision Prescription available for only $80.00 more. When submitting prescription, please make sure your
prescription includes the pupillary distance (PD) for both near and far.

SAWS
By Hitech Diamond Products
4‖ to 5‖ Saw Only ..... $239.50
6‖ Saw Only ..... $385.00; 6‖ Saw with Economy Blade and Vise Assembly ..... $439.50
Optional Vise Assembly For 6‖ Saw ..... $97.00
Economy Blade: 4 X .020 ..... $11.00; 6 X .020 ..... $16.00
Pro-Slicer Blade: 4 X .007 or .016 ..... $30.00; 5 X .016 ..... $35.00 6 X .009 or .016 ..... $35.00
MK Sintered Blade: 4 X .014 or .020 …. $46.00; 5 X .020 …. $53.00; 6 X .014 or .032 …. $57.00
Order saw and blade as separate items. Used for cutting thin slices of murrini, cutting fused glass into small pieces
and many more applications. The 4‖ to 5‖ saw has a table size of 9" x 6¼". The 6‖ saw has a table size of 15" x 9".
The blade cover can be raised or removed and the front splash guard can also be removed, if necessary, to
accommodate larger pieces. The distance from the left side of the blade to the motor housing is 3‖ on the 4‖ to 5‖ saw
and 5¼‖ on the 6‖ saw. The right hand side of the blade is totally unobstructed on both saws. The approximate blade
height above the cutting table is 1‖ with a 4‖ blade, 1½‖ with the 5‖ blade and 2‖ with the 6‖ blade. The diamond blade
runs through a water reservoir. No pump is needed. 400 to 3400 RPM variable speed, 1/4 HP motor with 5/8‖
arbor.120 volts.
The blades listed above are listed by their diameter and cutting kerf, in inches. The kerf is the width of cut a saw blade
makes. Extremely thin blades, such as the Pro-Slicer 4‖ X .007 and 6‖ X .009 are very delicate and will bend and
buckle easily, ruining it, even with an experienced hand. We recommend using the thicker blades. The higher quality
30
Pro-Slicer diamond blades cut faster and last longer than the Economy blades. The MK sintered blades are stiffer, cut
quickly and last the longest by far, because their diamonds are impregnated throughout the cutting edge. As the blade
wears down, more diamonds are exposed.
The optional Vise Assembly is an adjustable guide that allows for accurate precision cuts. Wing nuts are tightened to
clamp the work piece securely in place. You advance the carriage slowly to feed material evenly into the blade. The
Vise Assembly is designed to fit the 6" saw only and installs easily.
Note: Always run thin blades at higher speeds and do not jam glass into them to help prevent blade buckling. A little
trick for cutting tubes and rods. Cut partially into the glass, all the way around, before cutting through the center. This
can prevent the glass from breaking out on the back side of the cut before the cut is finished.
FUSING, STAINED GLASS, CASTING & PÂTE DE VERRE
TOYO PISTOL GLASS CUTTER ..... $30.00
For cutting sheet glass. There are many types of glass cutters available, but this one is by far the best. The Toyo
Pistol Cutter has a pistol type grip that gives you better control with a lot less effort. The cutting wheel is the best
available, giving you the ultimate in performance and durability.
COMBINATION BREAKING AND GROZING PLIERS
Standard or Narrow Jaws ..... $8.00
Used to assist in breaking sheet glass once it has been scored with a glass cutter. Also used for grozing (nibbling)
sheet glass to help bring it into final shape. Standard jaw width is 3/8‖ at the tip. The narrow jaw width is 1/8‖ at the tip.
RUNNING PLIERS ..... $9.00
Used to break sheet glass once it has been scored with a glass cutter. The curved shaped jaws align to the scored
glass and exert an upward push directly under the score while, at the same time, exerting force downward on either
side of the score. Works best on straight or slightly curving scores. A very popular compliment to the Combination
Breaking and Grozing Pliers, because they operate without you needing to hold onto the glass and can also be used
on very narrow strips of glass.
POLARIZING STRESS SCOPE ..... $30.00
This simple but clever device will show stresses in glass, including flameworked, fused or blown. Stress can be caused
by using two or more incompatible glasses together or by improper annealing techniques. To show the stress between
two glasses or within a single glass, at least one color must be fairly transparent for the scope to reveal it. To use,
place the glass on top of the polarizing light source and then place the loose polarized filter over the glass and rotate it
until it begins to darken. As the light darkens, a light and dark pattern will appear which is not part of the glass design.
This pattern is caused by the stress in the glass. Stress causes the light to bend (refract) in different directions and the
polarizing filter eliminates the remaining or background light.
REGULAR CERAMIC FIBER BLANKET
$12.00 Per Linear Foot; 24" X 25' Roll ..... $150.00
Used as an insulating material or as a mold material when a liquid rigidizer is applied. 8 lbs. density, strong spun fibers
instead of blown and needled surface to keep fibers together. Ceramic fiber is made of minerals and care should be
taken when handling. Sold by the linear foot. 24" wide.
SUPER CERAMIC FIBER BLANKET
$16.00 Per Linear Foot; 24" X 25' Roll ..... $295.00
This ceramic fiber is made from the same material as the Regular Ceramic Fiber Blanket, however, it is manufactured
with a special process that makes the fibers soluble amorphous. This material is so safe that you can actually breath
and eat it. This blanket has the same insulating value as the regular blanket, but is not quite as durable. Sold by the
linear foot. 24" wide.

FIBER PAPER
.008" X 12‖ X 13½‖..... $1.00; .008‖ X 20½‖ X 20½‖ ..... $2.50
.008" X 41‖ X 82’..... $199.00; .008‖ X 41‖ X 164’ ..... $399.00;
1/16" X 12‖ 12‖ ..... $2.00; 1/8" ..... $3.50; 1/4" ..... $5.00
.008‖ X 41‖ X 250’ ..... $499.00
The thinnest fiber paper is used as an alternative to shelf primer. It is extremely thin at only .008" thick. The thicker
fiber papers are used to form glass. They can be cut with scissors or hobby knife into shapes and laid singularly or
stacked under glass to shape it. The 1/8" size works great for making the hanging holes through fused pendants. All
four papers come clean from glass that has been fire to fusing temperatures without the use of shelf primer. The three
thicker sizes release organic binder fumes during fusing that must be vented. The .008" paper measures 12" X 13½".
The three thickest sizes measure 12" X 12".
TUNGSTEN FUSING RAKE ..... $20.00
Tungsten is the ideal material for raking molten glass during the fusing process because it resists sticking. An 1/8"
tungsten rod is ground and polished to a long sharp point. It is attached to the end of an 18" electrical and heat
insulating wood handle at a 90º angle.
ECONOMY AIR BRUSH
Air Brush Kit..... $10.00; Deluxe Air Brush Kit ..... $18.00
Used to apply Spray "A", finely ground enamels and fire on glass paints. Can be used with an air compressor or
canned propellant. The Air Brush Kit contains air brush with material jar, air hose and canned propellant regulator
valve. The Deluxe Air Brush Kit also comes with an additional material jar and a can of propellant. Tip: Because Spray
"A", enamels and paints settle and compact quickly, be sure to clean air brush immediately after use.
SPRAY "A" OVER-GLAZE..... $18.00
Spray "A" is a finely ground low melting glass that is suspended in a sprayable medium. When lightly sprayed onto
glass just before fusing it forms a thin clear layer that prevents devitrification. Devitrification is what sometimes
happens to the surface of fused glass around 1400ºF, causing a dull scummy appearance. An inexpensive air brush is
recommended for a proper coating. See ECONOMY AIR BRUSH.
DONNA'S FUSING GLUE AND SPRAY MEDIUM ..... $4.00
A thin glue for fusing and pâte de verre that is used to lightly hold small pieces of glass in place so that they do not
move while handling. Apply sparingly with the tip of a tooth pick. Completely burns off with no residue if used sparingly.
Also used as a spray medium for Pixie Dust and enamels.
CANNED AIR BRUSH PROPELLANT ..... $7.00
Convenient canister of propellant for use with an air brush when a compressor is not available. Canned air may not
have enough pressure for some applications.
SHELF PRIMER
Standard or High Fire: 1½ lbs. ..... $9.00; 5 lbs. ..... $18.00;
Primo: 1½ lbs. ..... $10.00; 5 lbs. ..... $20.00
Also known as shelf wash or kiln wash. Used on kiln shelves and slumping molds to prevent glass from sticking. These
high quality shelf primers come as a powder. Mix it with three to five parts water and paint two or three thin coats, in
alternating directions. Tip: To coat metal molds, first heat the metal to 200 to 300º F. This dries the primer as you apply
it before it can roll off. Standard Primer releases more consistently from the fused glass than the High Fire Primer.
High Fire Primer can better withstand the higher temperatures that are often used for raking. Primo Primer is like
using liquefied fiber paper and its cleanup after firing is easiest. Although reapplying the shelf primer after each firing
gives best results, only the Standard and High Fire primers can do multiple firings.
HAIK BRUSH
2-3/8" ..... $6.95
Used to apply shelf primer to kiln shelves and molds. The long soft thin hairs apply the shelf primer coat evenly and
leave an extremely smooth surface. Regular paint brushes leave a texture that is usually undesirable.
32
SHELF POSTS
Used to elevate kiln shelves off the bottom of the kiln, to separate multiple shelves or to use as a lid prop. Raising the
shelf helps to assure more even heating Generally, shelves that are 12" X 12" and smaller do not need shelf posts for
even heating. Size is listed in inches.

SLUDGE™ BRAND MANDREL RELEASE
™ or
4+ fl. oz ..... $7.00; 16+ fl. oz. ..... $21.00;
™
½ gallon ..... $60.00
The ultimate flame drying mandrel release for all sizes of solid and hollow mandrels. A thin coating can be flame dried
completely within seconds. A thicker coating is be placed further out in the flame and dried over a ten to twenty second
period. Strong while working the glass, yet easy to release when cool. Just like our SLUDGE PLUS™ products, the
blue one, Dip-n-Go Blue SLUDGE™, is the same as the black one, Dip-n-Go Sludge™, except without graphite, and
therefore holds even stronger. A favorite for working borosilicate (hard) glass and making hollow beads, where the
demands on a mandrel release are greater. Dip-n-Go SLUDGEs™ have the added benefit of being easy to
reconstitute with water, should you leave the lid off and it dries out.
™ or
™
4+ fl. oz ..... $7.00; 16+ fl. oz. ..... $21.00; ½ gallon ..... $60.00
The famous SLUDGE PLUS™ is a reformulated version of our original mandrel release, SLUDGE™. It has a little
more holding power for making large beads or doing any procedures that put a lot of rotational stress between the
bead and mandrel. It also yields a smoother surface after dipping the mandrel. Completely reliable even on beads that
take two hours to make! When cool, the bead releases easily. SUPER BLUE SLUDGE™ is the same as SLUDGE
PLUS™, except without graphite, and holds a little stronger. A favorite for working borosilicate (hard) glass.

Millefiori are slices of murrini (a designed color pattern that can be seen through glass) about 3 mm (1/8") to 5 mm
(3/16") thick and are available in diameters ranging from 2 mm to 30 mm. Each size is sold as a range, such as size 56 mm, which is the most popular. Each package has assorted patterns. Specify Opaque, where all colors in the
millefiori pieces are opaque, or Transparent, where typically the pattern, such as a stylized flower, and the perimeter
are opaque, and the background is transparent, or Mixed, a combination of Opaque and Transparent in assorted
sizes, mostly the middle range sizes with little or none of the smallest or largest sizes. Millefiori translated from Italian
means "thousand flowers". The name comes from the way these murrini slices are often used. When placed all over a
glass object, they look like a "thousand flowers". Compatible with Effetre, Vetrofond and Lauscha glass.

Reduction Frit Sample Assortment - All 39 Colors ..... $34.00
Available in five frit sizes – Powder, Small, Medium, Large and Super Large. Samples are about a teaspoon in quantity
and are generally enough to cover the surface of several beads. The Sample Assortment contains one of all available
color samples, assorted in sizes Powder, Small, Medium and Large. Most of the colors are true reducing glass, and all
colors give a raku like effect. One color, Iris Orange (color# 108), has become known as the “raku” color, and is one of
the most popular. A few of the colors, like Iris Orange, obtain their interesting effects by cooling them on a marver after
first melting it into the base glass. Others have interesting reactions with the glass they are applied to. To use, place frit
or powder on a marvering pad or in a Frit and Powder Trough. Heat glass enough to pick up the frit or powder and melt
it fully into the surface for best compatibility. For reducing colors, keep the glass molten and adjust torch to a strong
reduction flame. When you re-heat the glass, the reduction flame causes the metallic oxides to come to the surface.
Powder (less than .5 mm) covers the glass with a continuous coating. Large (1 – 2.4 mm) frit makes a large broken,
mottled pattern. The Super Large (8-11.5 mm) size are little chunks and is typically used to make stringers. The most
popular size is Medium(.5-2.4 mm). Most of the colors contain lead and therefore have a wider compatible range than
other glasses. Reduction frit and powder does not work with borosilicate (hard) glass, but does work with ASK 104,
Effetre (Moretti) Vetrofond, Lauscha, Bullseye, Uroboros, Spectrum and Thompson Enamel. Additional instructions can
be found at ArrowSprings.com under the Tips & Tricks section.

Use Pixie Dust to create a sparkle or pearl luster color inside glass or on its surface. Hi-Light colors are a fine powder
and look like Mother of Pearl. Sparkle colors are a larger particle size and look sparkly. The Glitter colors are the
largest particle size. When Pixie Dust powders are on the outside of glass they will entirely cover it and the color of the
glass they are on influences the final look. A dark glass intensifies the effect. When you cover the powders with a
transparent glass, you can control the density to either a sparse or a very dense matte look. Works on all glass except
borosilicate (hard) glass. Instructions for use can be found online at ArrowSprings.com under Tips & Tricks. Sample
packages are small quantity. The regular package contains 30 grams. Also available by the pound.
DICHROICIC STRIPS, RODS AND SHEETS
Dichroic coated glass is available in a variety of styles: Fused strips and rods for lampworking and cut strips and
sheets for stained glass fusing. The most popular for lampworking are fused strips.
Fused dichroicic coated glass strips provide several important benefits for lampworking over rods or plain cut strips.






Fusing greatly increases the coating strength to better survive the harsh effects of the flame.
Fusing “shifts” the color and surface texture to what the flame will do. This allows you to see the true look of the
dichroic glass before you use it.
The fused strips have an even dichroicic coating across the entire width that extends around the sides. Rods do
not.
Fusing rounds off the four long sharp edges that would otherwise cause scum by forming micro bubbles.
Fusing makes the glass safer and easier to handle.
The textures, when fused flat, create an interesting and desirable pattern in the coating, that is not reproducible
with any other method. This gives you more design options at the torch.
Dichroic coated fused strips, for lampworking, are available in the following widths:
1
/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, 1” and special order widths. 1/4” is the most popular width and the width that we will give you if you do
not specify otherwise. Because fused strips are cut from round sheets, the lengths will vary. Most lengths are 17”.
Some are shorter. For purposes of ordering, we consider a standard length at 17”.
Dichroic coated rods are coated on one side, down their length with the crest having the most intense color. Rods
are approximately 18" long with a dichroic coating of 15" to 17". Because of the subtle look of dichroic coated rods,
only the darkest color coatings are used.
Dichroic coated cut strips, intended for use in stained glass fusing, have the dichroic coating cover the entire width
and are not fused. Available in 1” or wider widths.
Dichroic sheets are usually 20” in diameter. Some are 19” in diameter. Bullseye sheets are smaller, having their 19”
or 20” circles cut from a sheet that is narrow (16”).
Because of the large pattern size, that is not very suitable for most lampworking, the following patterns are not
available in fused strips: Square 3, Dot 3, Stripes 2” and Stripes 6”
All Standard Colors and Specialty Colors are priced as Regular in the price list.
All Premium Colors, Patterns and Specialty Patterns are priced as Premium in the price list.
Listed below each type of glass is the texture and color of the glass that is dichroic coated.

Assortment (all 7 colors): 2 gram .....$23.00; 5 gram ..... $44.00; 10 gram ..... $83.00
All colors of Glow In The Dark powder can be used in lampworking, fusing and off hand glassblowing and are
compatible with all glass, including Glass Alchemy and Northstar borosilicate hard glass, Effetre (Moretti), Vetrofond,
Lauscha, Bullseye and Satake soft glass. It is non-toxic, non-radioactive and non-carcinogenic. However, as with all
powders, it is recommended that you exercise all necessary precautions, such as the use of a dust mask and proper
ventilation. There are two methods of use in lampworking. The first is to coat and encase. Do this by heating up the
glass to be coated until its surface is molten. Roll the hot glass over powder or sift powder onto the hot glass. Tap off
excess powder that does not stick. The powder must be encased using a light colored transparent or clear. The
powder can be manipulated before or after encasing. The other method is used to produce a glow in the dark glass rod
for use in a project. This is done by heating up the ends of two light colored or clear glass rods, then coating them, as
described above, then kneading them together in the flame until well mixed and finally pulling out a rod. In fusing
applications, apply to a base glass and cover with another glass piece or with frit. To charge glass, so it glows in the
dark, hold to a bright light source for three to five minutes. Some colors are brighter than others and some glow for a
longer time than others, up to several hours.

LEAF AND FOIL
Used to make classic gold and silver leaf and foil beads as well as other decorations. Palladium is a warm silver in
color that when heated in a gentle flame will begin to change to metallic iridescent peacock blues, purples and greens.
Increase the flame heat and palladium will return to a warm silver color. The colors are further enhanced during
annealing. Moon Gold has a pink or Champagne tone.

Note: Precious metal prices are very unstable. The above prices can change dramatically from day to day. Our
website, ArrowSprings.com, will always have the current price listed.
Leaf and Foil are very thin and delicate, therefore, only sold by the book. Foil is substantially thicker than Leaf and a lot
easier to handle. Both require careful handling. If not dealt with properly, gold and silver leaf will burn off in the flame,
whereas foil will tolerate being left in the flame longer. The ULTRA THICK SILVER FOIL is about as thick as kitchen
aluminum foil. It can be cut with scissors, knife or die cut by placing between sheets of paper and using paper
punches. Palladium, even though a leaf, is nearly impossible to burn off when applied properly. Hint: Put transparent
Very Pale Amber (T-008) over silver leaf or foil to give it the appearance of gold. Other transparents will give equally
interesting effects. Also try placing transparent dots over silver leaf and then burn off the surrounding leaf. The dots will
look as though they are mirror backed.

demonstration of ways to actually use the different canes in a piece, as a goblet stem, paperweight figure, or a
freestanding insect. Townsend explains the difference between “filigrana” and “latticino” and how the term „Millis” came
to be used instead of “murrine”. He shows examples of the work of masters in the field, and makes the concept of
canemaking accessible to anyone working in glass, clearly demonstrating technique and method for doing so.You will
learn how to make: cane with simple external pattern; cane with internal twist; alternate colors in a pattern on the
outside; to bundle sections of a cane together and draw that down into a complex cane.As before, the combination of

Quality Kanthal A-1 heating elements.
Annealing oven heating elements are encased in quartz tubing, making them electrically safe when inserting
finished work on steel mandrels into oven while it is on.
K-23 insulation bricks insure low heat loss and low cost operation.
Average power consumption to maintain temperatures costs only pennies an hour.
Fast heat up times.
Annealers designed for easy one handed operation whether placing finished beads into the annealer or reaching
for a preheated glass rod. The finished items are placed into the annealer through a special front opening making
for quick and comfortable operation and the elimination thermal shock.
All bricks are mortared to insure a long oven life and prevent "dusting" created by loose bricks.
All annealers and combination annealer & fusers include a two-tiered Bead and Mandrel Rack for the inside of the
annealer to prevent beads from touching each other during annealing.
Fusers and combination annealer & fusers are also ideal for silver clay, enameling, jewelry wax burnout and low
fire ceramics.
All ovens and controllers have a 3 year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
All annealers and fusers include an infinite control switch, except the AF1818-C. An infinite control switch is the same
kind of switch found on an electric cooking stove top. As a cost savings alternative to a temperature controller, an
infinite control switch, when used with a pyrometer to read temperature, will allow you can manually control the
temperature inside an annealer or fuser.
Annealers and combination Annealer & Fusers
The annealing and fusing model AF99 heating chamber’s interior measurements are 9" wide by 9" deep by 4½" tall.
120 volts, 14 amps, 1680 watts.
Reaches annealing temperature in about ten minutes and fusing temperature in about forty-five minutes.
Our most popular annealer, the AF99, is a combination ANNEALER AND FUSER. The quartz encased heating
elements are located in the side walls near the top. With the AF99's aspect ratio, there is even heat throughout the
chamber and allows access through the top as well as through the front opening. The heating chamber can be
extended to 9" tall with the addition of the optional extension ring, XR99, but the time it takes to fuse increases to a
little over one hour.
As an ANNEALER, the heating elements are encased in quartz tubing to make them electrically safe. Placing beads,
while still on their mandrel into an oven with exposed heating elements is like putting a knife into a toaster! Besides a
hinged lid, there is a 9" wide by 2" tall front opening that comes with a slip-in brick door for use when fusing, and also a
soft flip door for annealing, which make a complete seal even when the mandrels are long and stick out the opening.
As a FUSER, the firing chamber uses the 8" X 8" FS88 fusing shelf. Because the front door is located down low at
floor level and the heating elements are safely encased in quartz tubing, raking is very easy and safe: no chance of
electrical shock and the door design doesn't allow very much heat to escape to burn your hand.
The annealing and fusing model AF99-T4 is patterned after the AF99, except the chamber’s interior height is 6½”
instead of 4½”. The front opening of the AF99-T4 has a 4” tall front opening. The 4” height lets you put taller items
through the front opening instead of through the top opening. The soft flip front door of the AF99-T4 is hinged 2" above
its bottom and then again at the top of the 4” opening. This lets you open the front door just at the bottom to place
small items, such as beads, into the annealer and use the ARR (see below) or fully open the door to place larger items
into the annealer.

Our newest model is the AF138, is as popular as our AF99. It is very similar to the AF-99 model, and its versions. The
difference is that it is 13” wide instead of 9”, the depth, from front to back, is only ½” less, at 8½”, and there are two, 2”
tall by 6½” wide front flip doors instead of one 9” wide flip door. Fuses in about one hour.
Just as the AF99-T4 is a taller version of the AF99, the AF138-T4 is a taller version of the AF138. The two side by
side flip doors are hinged 2" above its bottom and then again at the top of the 4” opening.
The annealing and fusing model AF66 is also patterned after the AF99, except the chamber size is 6½” wide by 6½”
deep instead of 9” X 9”. Uses the 6" X 6", FS66 shelf for fusing.
The annealing only model A1313 heating chamber is 13" wide by 13" deep by 9" tall inside. 120 volts, 14 amps, 1680
watts.
Reaches annealing temperature in about forty minutes. The quartz encased heating elements are located in the side
walls near the top. Because of the AF1313's height to width ratio, there is even heat throughout the chamber and
allows access through the hinged lid as well as through the 13" wide by 6½" tall front opening that has a multiple flip up
door. The soft flip front door is hinged 2" above its bottom and then again at the top of the 6½” opening. The bottom
part of the flip door is split vertically in two, a left side and a right side. This lets you open the front door just at the
bottom to place small items, such as beads, into the annealer and use the ARR (see below) or fully open the entire 13”
X 6½” door area to place larger items into the annealer.
The annealing and fusing model AF1313 is exactly like the A1313, except that it is wired for 240 volts, thereby giving it
enough power to efficiently reach fusing temperatures in about one hour and annealing temperatures in about fifteen
minutes and also comes with a slip in brick door for use when fusing. Uses the 12" X 12", FS1212 shelf for fusing.
The annealing model A1813 heating chamber is 18" wide by 13" deep by 3¾" tall inside. 120 volts, 14 amps, 1680
watts.
Reaches annealing temperature in about thirty minutes. The A1813 can be used for fusing, but is extremely slow. It is
recommended that you use the 240 volt version, the AF1813, for fusing. With the A1813's low height to width ratio, the
four quartz encased heating elements are evenly spaced overhead to give even heat throughout the chamber.
Because of the heating element location, the top is hinged from down low, between the firing chamber and the bottom.
There is an 18" wide by 2" tall front opening that comes with two brick doors for use when fusing and also two soft flip
doors, for annealing, which make a complete seal even when the mandrels are long and stick out the opening.
The annealing and fusing model AF1813 is exactly like the A1813, except that it is wired for 240 volts, thereby giving it
enough power to efficiently reach fusing temperatures in less than one hour and annealing temperatures in under
fifteen minutes and also comes with a slip-in brick door for use when fusing. Uses the 12" X 12", FS1212 shelf for
fusing. The AF1813 uses the 17½" X 13", FS1317 shelf for fusing.
Arrow Springs manufactures three different clamshell models of combination annealer & fusing ovens. Models
AF1313-C, AF1813-C and AF1818-C. All three models have an interior height of 9”. As an annealer, the clamshell
design has the front opening with both slip in brick doors and soft flip doors as described in the ovens above. Besides
their use for annealing, the front opening doors make raking an easy task when fusing. What makes a clamshell
design desirable is the way the top opens for ease of use. Instead of the lid opening as described in the above ovens,
the 9” chamber splits horizontally 2½” from the ceiling, 6½”from the floor. The benefit is that when you open the lid, you
do not have to reach in so far to the oven floor to place items in. This makes loading and arranging easier for fusing
and for annealing of large items. The AF1313-C has a front opening of 13” wide and 4” tall. Both the AF1813-C and
AF1818-C have 18” wide and 4” tall front openings. The soft flip front doors are split vertically in two, a left side and a
right side. Each of these doors is split horizontally and hinged 2" above its bottom and then again at the top of the 4”
opening. This lets you open the front door just at the bottom to place small items, such as beads, into the annealer and
use the ARR (see below) or fully open the door to place larger items into the annealer. All three models have their
heating elements arranged overhead as described for the A1813. The AF1818-C has eight quartz tubes instead of
four. The AF1313 uses the 12" X 12", FS1212 shelf for fusing. The AF1813 uses the 17½" X 13", FS1317 shelf for
fusing. The AF1818 uses the 16" X 16", FS1616 shelf for fusing.
67
Optional Rod Rest
The model ARR Adjustable Rod Rest is specially designed to complement all Arrow Springs annealers and
combination annealer & fusers. The ARR clips onto the front of the annealer at the opening. By placing glass rods onto
the rod rest and inserting their ends into the annealer, the rods are kept clean and their ends are preheated prior to
being introduced into the flame. This virtually eliminates "popping" and greatly reduces the amount of time it takes the
glass to become molten.
Fusers
The model F66's interior heating chamber is 6½" wide by 6½" deep by 4½" tall. 120 volts, 14 amps, 1680 watts.
Fuses in about twenty-five minutes.
A very simple and economical design. Uses a conventional heating element placement, without quartz tubing, and has
a lift off lid. The F66 uses the 6" X 6", FS66 fusing shelf.
The model F99 's interior heating chamber is 9" wide by 9" deep by 4½" tall. 120 volts, 14 amps, 1680 watts.
Fuses in about forty minutes.
This oven is the same as the AF99, except there is no front door and the heating elements are not encased in quartz
tubing. The heating chamber can be extended to 9" tall, by the addition of the optional extension ring, XR99, but the
time it takes to fuse increases to a little over one hour. The F99 uses the 8" X 8" FS88 fusing shelf.
Pyrometers
We offer digital (digital readout) pyrometers. The battery operated digital pyrometers are considerably more accurate
and much easier to read old style analog (needle type meter) pyrometers. The Pyro-DF reads in Fahrenheit. The
Pyro-DC reads in Centigrade and the Pyro-DFC can read in either Fahrenheit or Centigrade. Operating an annealer
or fuser manually with an infinite control switch and an optional pyrometer is an equipment cost savings over operation
using an automated temperature controller, but does require monitoring and adjustments to the infinite control switch
during your working session and for a short time afterward. The digital pyrometers come with a carrying case and a 6
foot thermocouple. Battery is included.
Temperature Controllers
The model ASC/5 digital ramping controller holds 9 programs in permanent memory for annealing, fusing, Precious
Metal Clay, enameling, jewelry wax burnout and ceramics. It is so simple that all you need to do is press a few buttons
and it will perform the program and then turn itself off. For your convenience, several programs have already been
entered, all of which can be easily changed. If you have special firing programs you regularly use, we will gladly
program them into the controller for you. The controller is configurable for either Fahrenheit or Celsius. 15 or 20 Amp,
120 Volt models; and 20, 30 or 50 Amp, 240 volt models available.
The model ASC/4 is a digital set point controller with a single ramp. It allows you to ramp either up or down to a
desired temperature and indefinitely hold that temperature or automatically turn it off. Fahrenheit only. 15 Amp, 120
Volt and 20 Amp, 240 volt models available.
Both controllers are "STAND ALONE", which means that they are not attached to an oven, have their relay’s selfcontained, have an installed thermocouple, and a plug and receptacle. All you need to do is plug the controller into a
wall outlet, plug your oven into the controller, and insert the thermocouple (temperature sensor) into the oven.
Voltage & Amperage Adaptors
Voltage & Amperage Adaptors allow you to operate a 240 volt oven using a 120 volt temperature controller. The
adaptor has a plug and receptacle to match the 240 volt oven you want to control. The adaptor plugs into an
appropriate 240 volt wall receptacle. The oven plugs into the adaptor. The adaptor also has a 120 volt plug that you
plug into your existing 120 volt temperature controller. Instead of your existing 120 volt temperature controller directly
controlling your 240 volt oven, it controls the adaptor with its own built in relay, which in turn controls the 240 volt oven.
Voltage, amperage, wattage and plug type of Arrow Springs ovens.
The following ovens operate on 120 volts and draw 14 amps, 1680 watts.

How to interpret the model names of Ovens, Temperature Controllers and Voltage &
Amperage Adaptors.
The A in an oven model name indicates annealing and means that the oven is capable of reaching temperatures
required for annealing, the design includes quartz encased heating elements to protect you from electrical shock and
has a front opening to easily accommodate the placement of hot glass items into the hot oven. The F indicates fusing
and means that the oven is easily capable of reaching fusing and silver clay temperatures. Most fusing models can
reach a maximum limit of 1900º F. If the model name includes both A and F in the name, it has features of both
annealing and fusing ovens. The number in an oven name represents the interior width and depth. For example, 99
means that the ovens floor is 9” wide and 9” deep. 1813 means that the ovens floor is 18” wide and 13” deep. If there
is a T in name, it means that that model is taller than the regular model without the T. If there is a C in name, it means
that that model is a clamshell design.
ASC indicates Arrow Springs Controller. Following the ASC is a / and a number, such as /3, and represents the
specific model. The ending number of a controller represents the NEMA plug and receptacle configuration. 515 is a
NEMA 5-15. The 5 is the actual physical configuration and the voltage capability of 120 volts and the 15 is the
amperage capability. A NEMA 5-15 is a common house plug and receptacle. A NEMA 5-20 is rated at 120 volts and 20
amps. A NEMA 5-20 receptacle can receive either a NEMA 5-20 or NEMA 5-15 plug, but a NEMA 5-20 plug can only
plug into a NEMA 5-20 receptacle.
The /A in the model name of the voltage & amperage adaptors distinguishes it from a temperature controller.
All Temperature Controllers and Voltage and Amperage Adaptors come with standard mechanical relays. Solid State
and Mercury relays are also available on most models.

The real name of Moretti glass is now actually Effetre. It was known for so long as Moretti that many people still refer
to the glass as Moretti.
Effetre Rod Assortments
There are six color palettes that Effetre produces. The assortments listed below each contain 1/3 of a rod
(approximately 13") of every available color in its palette. Occasionally one or more colors may not available from the
factory for months at a time. The assortment that would normally contain the missing color will then have some other
color in duplicate to assure that you get your values worth. Extra rods of the more popular colors are added, if
necessary, to assure that each assortment has its full weight. Any missing color will need to be ordered separately
when it becomes available. All rods are labeled for easy identification, except for any extra rods, as described

Effetre Information
SIZES: Effetre glass rods are priced per pound. Typically, there are about 7 to 8 rods per pound, 5 to 6 mm in
diameter and about one meter long (40" to 43"). Rods are cut into thirds, at no charge, to accommodate shipping and
for ease of use. Often some colors are only available in 4 to 5 mm or 6 to 7 mm diameters. Clear, T-004, is also
available in 2 to 3 mm, 3 to 4 mm, 7 to 8 mm, 8 to 9 mm, 10 to 11 mm and 14 to 15 mm diameters.
STRIKING COLORS: Striking colors are colors that change to their true color after the glass has been melted. They
are: T-069, T-072, T-076, P-258, S-456, O-532 and O-536. Note: O-532 strikes at a very low temperature. If O-532
stays white and does not turn to a soft pink, you are trying to strike it at too high a temperature. Some colors are not
true striking colors, but can change while working them in the flame. P-254, in instance, can wash out and / or become
matted if worked too hot or long. At cooler temperatures it can become mottled. Other colors can separate into lighter
and darker areas. Some colors reduce, that is, develop rusty spots, black lattice or a metallic look. All of these effects
can be desirable and are controllable with proper torch settings and flameworking techniques.

Double Helix Rods, Frits and Powder are well known for their "Over the Top" special
effects with dramatic, multi color Striking and Reducing colors.
Rod Diameter: 5 to 6 mm
Rod Length: 12"
COE: 104
Annealing Range: 920º F to 960ºF (493ºC to 515ºC)
Recommended Annealing Temperature: 940ºF (504º C)
After flame striking the Striking colors, the colors will continue to strike further in the
annealer. Higher annealing temperatures accelerate the kiln striking rate. After flame
reducing the Reducing colors, the colors will oxidize in the annealer and can become
unreduced and loose some of their luster. Higher annealing temperatures accelerate the
oxidation rate.
Long periods of time, especially with higher temperatures may over strike or oxidize your
target look. Garaging (Placing hot glass items into a hot annealer throughout the work
secession prior to final annealing and cool down.) at a lower temperature of between
850ºF and 880ºF (454ºC and 471ºC) will greatly reduce the amount of kiln striking and
oxidation. At the end of the work secession, bringing up the temperature to annealing
temperature brings up every item in the annealer together. This way all items will either
kiln strike or oxidize a similar amount, regardless of their differences in garage time.
Normally, over striking and oxidation are not an issue for most lampworkers and usually
only appears when the actual temperature in the annealer is higher than the pyrometer
or temperature controller indicates. The striking and oxidizing rate varies between colors.

transparent before firing. After marking directly on a glass or fired enamel surface, dry and fire with or without an over-sifting. After marking
