Customer Reviews for VEVOR Propane Melting Furnace, 2462℉, 2 KG Metal Foundry Furnace Kit with Graphite Crucible and Tongs, Casting Melting Smelting Refining Precious Metals Like Gold Silver Aluminum Copper Brass Bronze

I found the lid handle screws did not line up so i used a round file to widen the holes so they could go in properly other than that the furnace fits together very well. Instructions did not really explain how to start the flame - i watched youtube and saw you put a burning piece of paper in furnace and that is what worked for me. I easily melted some scrap aluminium. Also heated up a piece of spring steel in the crucible and used it as a forge. It holds the temperature very well.

Love this product, come as it was ordered. Only wish that the valves were needle valves, that would allow for better gas flow control.

Ich habe mir den Schmelzofen gekauft ,um Keramik darin zu brennen ..Und es ist wunderbar gelungen.. Der Geräuschpegel ist schon etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Das zünden des Ofens ist mit Rezept zu nehmen, da es ein ordentlichen knall gibt. Das Brennrohr ist mit einer Lackschicht versehen die sofort gebrennt. Was aber nicht schlimm ist. Ich bin sehr zufrieden..

About this a while back I finally got to put it together and test it out. I truly only needed a back up forge for making some homemade knives but when I saw this one, and you could use it as a smelter as well for that price, I could not pass it up Now I have a new hobby of melting, aluminum and copper lol expanding on all the stuff I try to learn the quality seems great. It was easy to set up and I am 100% pleased.

Was very impressed with how well it works. It’s going to be fun experimenting with different metals and graphite casting molds.

I bought this as both a smelter and forge. As a smelter it works amazing. As a forge it works pretty well. Would be a much better forge if there was a was to attach the lid of the smelter to it. Or have a different type of cover for the forge.

Very nice, easy to setup, wool insulation not sealed but there is a liquid or rock set that can be easily added. Will have to make a lifter and pouring handel as the tongs will not work for this. Assume the tongs are for adding metal to crumble in smelter. Much better than trying to build furnace for cost.

While opening the shipping box first thing I noticed was the quality of the finish, very impressive. I have done several smelts with the furnace and it works very well. I have a couple of tips for the best results during your first smelt: * apply an insulation spray on coating to help protect the insulation from spattering material during smelting, * propane bottles 5 gallon and smaller should be set in a bucket of warm water to minimize the freezing of the propane bottle during long smelts.

Super Je suis tres satisfait . J ai plusieurs bouteilles de propane de brulé et elle est toujours comme neuve

This furnace really rocks! Unlike previously purchased furnaces though, it did not come with foundry cement. Fortunately I had some on hand to coat the inside of the furnace. I like this unit because I can easily reach the crucible with the provided tongs.
