In the past I let some green sand mold to pour the next day. I put a cover in the sprue in case a bug thought it was a new house to live in. Most...
Oh I see, didn't look into the logic much as I had it designed differently in my mind.
Zapins I think something is mixed up in your electronics. Before trying to resolve it I would suggest to follow Mantrid's advice first; seems...
I thought you installed the circuit as well and was going to ask for a video. Ok... so basically you want the door to open automatically from a...
Or how to drop half of a full crucible of molten metal in your equipment and not have a serious accident. Casting is easy: open lid, carefully...
That's sad. Any brand will do, Ytong or Alfablock brand. Can take the heat without melting but do crumble without protective refractory layer....
Nice, whatever works. I plan to have a dedicated wmo burner for this one as I have several buckets full of it. Propane is easy though. Some...
The day was great to pull out the big boy and do some scrapping. [ATTACH] Two heads, two manifolds (the left one is lost foam) and some other...
A crucible style furnace with propane (to be upgraded to wmo) without the crucible big enough to fit engine heads and irregular parts. The furnace...
Engine parts, including engine heads are my alloy of choice. I've melted VW, GM, Audi and maybe more that I remember. I never test for magnesium...
Here's the simplest diagram I made with the switches you already have. The two left wires are the red ones and the two right wires are the black...
Welcome back Mantrid. I tried to find your website some months ago to see if you're still casting, realbronze something it was I think...
With this board, if I understood how it works correctly, you basically need to replace the rocker switch and implement two rocker switches. When...
You basically want to disconnect (using a switch) the cables that specifically open the door and not the cables that power the motor. Thus the...
Welcome Mikhail, you are starting an interesting journey!
I'm also interested in my furnace efficiency. I will have to get some measurements next time I have a casting session. I read that latent heat of...
Looks good to me!
I also think that for petrobond you need some other kind of clay. Well since you have sand, bentonite clay and probably water, you can make...
I never used a lid seal either. The flame is not that big though and swirls just below and around the crucible. If needed a Z seal with some glass...
As already commented, it is definitely not an aluminum alloy. I was going to say it's lead (that yellowish color) or some other low temp alloy....
