Rosenthal Collection #3 4KG Foundry Clay Graphite Crucibles Cup Furnace Torch Melting Casting

awfully I got the product with damage and crack on the top of

It did have a tiny chip at the rim, but that was likely due to the shipping company. Overall I think this was a great buy for what I needed. Pro's: - Handles high heat extremely well, my foundry gets upwards of 2800 degrees Fahrenheit if my thermocoupler is accurate, and this handles it like a champ - Great for large casts, this allowed me to cast a full size mastersword in a single pour - Relatively durable, so far Ive done 3 large pours and a few smaller ones with no cracks or excessive slag build up Con's - Non that Ive found Just a reminder that its always a good idea to preheat any crucible used in a flame based foundry. Last thing you want to do is destroy it faster than necessary.

Gotten plenty of melts out of this crucible...going on about 3 years now and still looks like it will last a couple more Would definitely buy again

Es muy fragil, se despostilla y eso q uso pinzas planas especiales para moverlo

Mini Metal Foundry crucible. I bought this for Grant Thompson's 'Mini-Metal Foundry'. It fits perfect!. I have been melting holes into my stainless steel homemade crucibles and this is a serious upgrade. Note for shipping: this is not on Prime, but I ordered it Monday night and it arrived Thursday morning... fabulous! Pour spout: I have seen negative reviews about the dimple for pouring, or lack there of... mine came with a perfect pouring dimple in it... check out my pics. Size: I did not use the expensive plastic containers Grant had listed to build the interior of the foundry. I bought similar sized ones from the dollar store... WIN!!! Same with the containers to form the lid. You just have to understand the basic principle of how much space you need and then purchase a container that will suffice. I even found the stainless steel dish scrubbers (for added structural integrity... you need it) at the Dollar store. All that to say, I have just a hair more space on the inside of my foundry than Grant does, therefore, this crucible fits perfectly and I can get charcoal all around it. I'm not sure how tight it would be If I had bought the expensive blue buckets he had listed. I also purchased a little container from the Dollar store to act as the feeding hole in the lid... saves the time of having to cut one with the hole saw, and it's a lot less messy... check out my pics. If you have any questions, give me a shout, I have built 2 of these guys and had great success. Make sure you pre heat it a lot... I fired up the Foundry and kept the heat low... did this 3 times.

As I ventured into melting aluminum cans to pour into molds and make new products I needed a better way. So I ordered this crucible based on price and size, I received it and was amazed at the quality. It even has a pour spout to help guide melted aluminum into forms. Overall in very happy with this purchase!!!!!
