I wanted to get into casting some silver and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on something. This appeared like it would be a good start. I already had a few propane torches, and this kit came with everything else I needed to get started. I had to make the holes in the side just a little bigger to insert the propane torch nozzles. But after that I was off and running. This furnace heats and melts silver much quicker and more efficiently than just putting a torch to the silver.
The crucible tongs aren't the greatest, and I upgraded those shortly after getting this, but overall I am very happy with it. It's been several months, and still working fine.
great item
This unit worked great for my purposes! I had no problems with this, was easy to setup and use.
worked O.K. until a Crucible cracked and product leaked out and ruined the bottom
GREAT DEAL
