I think the N simply denotes it's non ferrous. You see a lot of swivel de-burring blades made from it, and sometimes it's advertised as being good on very hard metal, but I couldn't vouch for that. David George is spot on when he said years ago it was often silver soldered on to a steel shank for making special cutters, made tons of them in my father's old engineering business.

Agreed, it has to work on some preheating of the fuel and using some internal pressure as opposed to the old pump sytem

It appears my reply has somehow disappeared into electronic dust. In response, many thanks for the welcome. I live on the South Coast NSW Australia, which is one of those "god's waiting room" places for oldies like me. Basically when it comes to tinkering with live steam, mechanical clocks and watches and heaps of other things I just cant help myself. my "mancave" has metal working equipment including a lather and very small mill, a fifty litre all-grain pilot brewery so we have something to drink when not playing with all the toys, that also includes a lot of jewellery making and lapidary equipment.

I have come from an engineering background that includes aircraft, production, R&D, and through to owning an art gallery, just to make sure I have most bases covered.

Sorry Guys, is their a lag time before your reply to a post appears?

High folk I'm a newbie to the forum and just started to tinker around with model engineering once again after many years break. One of the things I would like to know does anyone have drawings (even if just freehand) for the construction of a burner similar to the Saito BF2. Any help would be appreciated, even if only an explanation as to workings of that style of burner
