Customer Reviews for VEVOR Propane Melting Furnace Kit, 12KG Large Capacity Foundry Home Kilns,Stainless Steel Smelter, Blacksmithing Forge with Crucible an Tongs Kiln, For Metal Scrap Recycle, Gold Copper Silver Casting

It isn't constructed the greatest. You can tell the quality is a little rough. We had to also make our own air control dampers as there are none with the unit we bought. But it does heat up fast and works well for the hobby forging we do.

Great furnace with a huge crucible. Works as advertised heats up fast and can smelt like crazy. Only downside is the top insulation tends to sag leaving the thin top metal not protected. Hasn't burnt through yet but most probably wil

It arrived cracked and smaller than I expected otherwise it’s not to bad haven’t done a lot with it as yet.

Saw Farmcraft101 on youtube talk about this figured I'd give it a try as I've wanted to get into melting down some metal for lathe work. Easy set up the instructions were easy enough to understand. Did not come with refractory cement to put on the wool which is kind of a bummer but I had some from another project so I made due. The dual burner gets the furnace nice and hot real quick. The crucible and tongs that come with the kit are good enough to get started if you get hooked though you will probably want other tongs especially to assist in pouring. I've also used it as a forge for some blacksmithing again this works well gets the pieces up to temp quick. The opening is rather large when used as a forge on its side so its definately not a long term solution but for the price and versatility its a pretty solid unit. I'd recommend this to people looking to get into melting metal or even as a cheap starter forge for blacksmithing.

It does what it is intended to do. Spend a little money and buy some ridgidsizer before you coat it with fire cement

Overall, quite happy with the quality and price and in the end, service. HOWEVER, Does NOT ship with a regulator to fit Australian Standard POL cylinders, so not plug and play. Minor thing, 2 of the 3 lugs holding the insulation in the lid were broken off and loose in the box. Refractory cement supplied is barely enough, especially if you do the lid, (probably should not have in hindsight), but not mentioned anywhere in the manual to do or not. I used a 1kg tub of air set refractory mortar from Bunnings (about $25) that finished the supplied mortar very nicely. So for Australia factor in a new 30psi regulator and hose and adaptor and you will have a spare reg if you ever move to America PS Was almost ready to send a much less flattering review but... Vevor has reached out and offered a partial refund that I hope will cover the replacement parts

L'équipement est bien conçu, cela pourrait être plus massif mais donc plus lourd, l'inox fait le travail escompté. La laine de céramique fournie résiste à la chaleur mais ne la conserve pas. Pour optimiser l'inertie de la chaleur au sein du creuset, car il est nécessaire pour monter à haute température, il serait préférable de fournir l'enduit réfractaire, celui que j'ai posé ici résiste à une température de 1600°C, il n'est pas facile à se procurer et assez coûteux, il m'aura fallu 3 kg. Il est également nécessaire de fabriquer ou bien de se procurer du matériel solide et fiable, tel que les pinces, car utiliser la fonderie en versant du métal en fusion sans celà pourrait rapidement s'avérer dangereux. Pour le reste chacun fera en son âme et conscience en fonction de son usage relatif... Vous pouvez visionner une partie de mon processus de création en suivant le lien de la vidéo ✌️🙂

Très bien à part mon creuse en grafit et un peux abîmé apre a voir avec le temp si il se casse pas .

The handle will fail. It may be fast, maybe slow. But it's inevitable. Everything works great on this unit, including the propane control, along with the manual air shutter that is sturdy. Solid , Stainless Steel construction. Another downer, the refractory needs to be addressed. Two ways: 1. Refractory cement. 2. There is a pink spray out there that would save time, money, and weight! And it is easy to reapply! Refractory cement is awesome, but requires rebuilding g occasionally. See photos of a custom handle idea.

Le four est dune manière générale bien fourni. Pensez a faire le revêtement réfractaire sur les parois, attention les outils fournis avec ne conviennent pas pour la fonderie. Sinon, ca marche bien, pour la France, il faudra une bouteille sans limiteur de pression, le détendeur fourni est noté 30psi mais je ne suis pas arrivé a monter a plus de 20 - 25 psi Essayé avec de l alu bien content !
