For welders and fabricators looking to expand their repair capabilities beyond standard arc welding, the Stoody JS-100 Jet-Spray Torch Kit is a game-changer. This isn't just another cutting torch; it is a specialized tool designed to spray metal powder onto worn surfaces, building them back up to their original dimensions with a tough, wear-resistant coating. If you deal with worn shafts, battered gear teeth, or eroded pump housings, the JS-100 allows you to fix these parts in-house rather than sending them out or scrapping them. The process is surprisingly intuitive for anyone familiar with oxy-acetylene equipment: you heat the part to a "sweating" temperature and then pull the trigger to spray the alloy powder into the puddle.
The kit comes ready to hook up to your existing oxygen and acetylene regulators and hoses. The torch handle features a comfortable grip and a top-mounted hopper that holds the Stoody spray powder. The real magic lies in the control lever; you can feather the powder feed to apply a thin "tinning" coat or hold it open to build up thicker layers quickly. Because the process uses a gas flame rather than an electric arc, the heat input is softer and more diffuse. This means you get a smooth, flat bead that looks almost like a TIG weld, often requiring little to no grinding to finish. It is the ultimate solution for hardfacing edges that need to stay sharp or surfaces that need to remain smooth.
One of the standout features of the JS-100 is its performance on cast iron. We all know cast iron can be a nightmare to weld with a stick rod due to cracking and hardening. The Jet-Spray process heats the casting more evenly and uses powders that are specifically formulated to bond with cast iron without causing the stress cracks typical of arc welding. Whether you are in an automotive machine shop fixing exhaust manifolds or on a farm repairing tillage tools, this kit gives you the versatility to tackle jobs that other processes can't touch. It’s a reliable, mechanical solution for extending the life of your tools and equipment.
