Hi, i was wondering what you guys use to melt your silver, gold etc? gas / electric / coke / inductive / kiln? etc and any preferances? I am looking at an inductive furnaces for the pure effect of it all really. but read it isnt so good on non magnetic elements. And both silver and gold fall into that category. So, im not sure, if i should go that road or just forge it?. Any assistance is most appreciated. have a great night Phillip
What is pure effect? You can just buy a crucible and a torch if you're only melting a few ounces or less
sorry pure effect to me, is like this video. http://youtu.be/d7DBS2Is0ws?t=5s i saw an inductive furnace melting titanium metal in under 3min. And, it uses less energy doing it than most. Im mostly interested in it for its cost saving and time saving and because its funky.
Hi On this little film you can see the melting pot I use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbyv3Wd9zSY Henrik
Nice eggs Henrik. The big one is amazing Im sure something like that would do me fine, prob easiest thing for small batches. thanks
That was COOL! Never saw it before. I would like to get a small 120v electric furnace one day. I've seen 'em for about $500
Hi I can sell you a 240 volt electric furnace new for $425 It melts up to 10oz of gold or other silver equivelent
