Questions & Answers

Ako S : After the melting process, how can I transfer melting metal from the canister?GARY B : you will have to have a dipper or ladle make sure it will fit inside pot will hold 1 to 1/12 lbs lead normal cost 12.00 to 15.00 dollars amazon or ebay .whats left in pot dipper wont get pick up pot and pour in moud by handANDREW R : I believe that one would normally use a ladle or dipper specific to the task.
Dan Z : Whats the maxx temp for this furnace?GARY B : don't know probably 800 degreesANDREW R : Unfortunately the manufacturer does not specify, however the instruction manual includes the following information: "3. For maximum life, run the furnace at the lowest temperature that provides satisfactory casting. Establish appropriate temperatures by trial for each type of bullet metal. Normally a 650-720 degrees F temperature range proves adequate for most bullet casting."
Richard G : will this melt aluminum? Thank youMARK H : No this will not melt aluminum.HARRY H : No, as this unit is made of heavy duty aluminum.GORDON C : No it will not melt aluminum, lead melts at 622 F. aluminum melts at 1220 F.GORDON C : Hi, I hav'nt used mine yet. That is a good question to ask the internet. The density of different metals to be reduced to liquid form varies enough that you might want to check how high the temperature will go on your melter against the melting point of lead and aluminum. You might want to do this so you don't damage your melter or hurt yourself. The company that built the unit may also be able to answer your question. Thanks, GordonRICHARD D : Aluminum has a melting point of around 1220 degrees Fahrenheit. Not sure if this little furnace goes that high. These are typically for making cast lead bullets with a melting point of 690 degrees or so. If you are doing aluminum die casting or some similar hobby I would google up what others are using.
