Le seul reproche est que le produit pour la fibre de céramique n'est pas fournit avec et du coup on est obliger dans acheter et ce n'est pas vendu en petite quantité. Si vous acheter ce matériel suite aux vidéos pour fondre de la canette d'aluminium et faire des lingots pour les faire reprendre a un ferrailleur, renseigné vous a combien il vous reprenne les lingots, car repris a peine plus qua la normal chez un ferrailleur, donc si vous comptez le temps passé, l'investissement en matériel et le coût du gaz, sa vas être très très long a amortir l'investissement de départ.

It's pretty much ready to go right out of the box, incredibly easy to use, and heats better than I was expecting. This thing is worth every penny, and if you're looking to do a little backyard smelting and forging, this is the perfect gadget to get started with.

I knew this would not fit straight to Aussie gas bottles, but I didn't know how I would solve the issue. One reviewer suggest buy a new regulator and hose set - research indicated $80-100. I found a male to male brass adapter on Amazon for $20. The Australian bottle takes a POL fitting (left hand thread, requires a wrench or handle to tighten) and the regulator is QCC-1 ( right hand thread, less than 1 turn hand tighten). The instructions did not cover sealing the carcinogenic ceramic fibres - after a couple of hours of online research, I chose refactory cement - 2 kg should do it. I used the back of a plastic teaspoon to apply and a very wet mix - I tried a brush, but it pulled at the fibres and wouldn't coat them. The instructions did not mention tempering the crucible, but another hours inline research gave me an idea how to do it. I cured the refactory cement and tempered the crucible at the same time - i only used one burner, had the valve almost closed and the regulator set at less than 5 psi. It still reached 1100c in half an hour - I would have preferred to do it more slowly - and shut it off, left the lid on and let it cool to ambient temperature overnight. The refactory has set and the crucible has a nice finish - no glassy beads. If the burners had air chokes, I feel I would have been able to temper/cure more slowly. The tongs are really only suitable for placing stock in the crucible - place it, dont drop it in. I spent an additional $500aud on a lift/pour tong set, refactory and firebricks to sit the furnace, lid and crucible on, a 2.4kg cast iron ingot mould (aluminium is 1/4 weight of gold), gas bottle adapter, automotive drip trays to heat and pour on (I’m clumsy and aluminium can explode concrete) and a laser thermometer to 1880C (pizza ones only go to 550c). I am looking forward to my first melt and pouring some ingots. The furnace seems awesome and will get hot enough to melt in 15 mins. $289 well spent!

Very good quality for the money spent, Heats fast and even, Needs a higher quality Crucible but the one supplied works to start. I would Highly recommend Buying a stiffener for the Insulation before using, you won't regret the extra $16 dollar investment it will keep the insulation from sagging and eliminate a lot of headaches and hassle also Get some High Quality Teflon tape for the connections before hand or it will leak. Invest in Crucible Tongs that Cradle the Crucible for better control pouring. Be Safe Have Fun;)

Très pratique

Article conforme à la description et fonctionne correctement.

fonctionne très bien, chauffe fort je n'ai pas encore utilisé les deux bruleurs, un seul suffi pour l'alu, le laiton et le bronze. bonne résistance de la protection thermique.

Love it. Only issue that I have is the control of gas flow is a bit finicky and you often blow out the flame when trying to light it. Other then that, no problems.

Manque notice pour préparation au premier emploi

Box was beat up bad...but unit was OK. Could have been the shipping company that kicked it around. Will see how it goes on melting various metals. Assembly was easy to do and the instructions were ok to follow.
