7KG/15lbs Propane Melting Furnace Kit w/ 2 Tongs & Crucible

This is my first foundry so I'm not coming from years of experience but so far I am very pleased. Overall the construction is good and I've had no issues with weak points though only time will tell. It does take a little time and experimenting to get the burners dialed in but now it starts easily and heats up very quickly. Be fair warned that this 25kg version is a beast when it comes to pouring. I added a little fabrication to the pouring tongs in order to pour by myself because this crucible is an absolute unit. Also the tongs are nothing special, I plan on upgrading them soon but they're sufficient to get you going. I'll try to update this as the furnace ages. Happy melting!

Honestly when I started getting into casting metal this was my first furnace and it has been amazing! I have had to replace the fiber glass lining but that was after days worth of melting so it held up really really well. If you are looking to start casting and you don't know where to start, this is a good place.

I bought this for my husband and he is so happy with it. It came in as described and had fast shipping

Bien

Came with everything you needed to get started other than a lighter, propane, and a mold. Thats pretty nice for the price. The unit works well and gets up to temp fast, i found the flame will go out randomly sometimes even if i play with pressure. Im not exactly sure what its made from but its kinda rusting now around the hot parts which is kinda lame as the last ones i had would, only be abit chared. It has handles to move around, they are small but work. And some weird handle on the back i dont touch. Crucible is big and tough, tongs are long and work nicely for this so i liked that. And the unit will hold a larger crucible. All in all id recommend this for a beginner or someone thats been doing this for a while, works fine and gets the job done. Pros -size -price -includes everything -light weight Cons -feels a bit cheap -rusts?
