Customer Reviews for VEVOR Propane Melting Furnace Metal Forge W/ 2KG Graphite Crucible Casting Tool

Top quality piece of equipment...................................................................................................................................

it all works great with one exception... Make your own set of pliers for grabbing the Crucible. The ones that come with it just grabs about 3/4" square of the side of the Crucible, which is not enough to safely when lifting the Crucible out of the furnace when loaded with molten metal. Make something that's circular that grabs the entire Crucible all the way around it's outside. Preferably with a set of handles on each side so 2 people can lift it out when the metal is liquid so you can have a firm grip on the Crucible. I sincerely doubt the Crucible will hold up very long with the pliers you get.

I just got this and I am a first timer so give me time to get into it..the product itself is amazing and all there and I cant wait to start!!

Was awesome for what I needed it for. Perfect for small projects and great tool for the DIY person.

A nice setup for small forging jobs. The pieces of the kit are all well made and most should work well for their intended purposes

I recommend this to everyone I know interested in smelting, this tool comes with great instructions and is very well packaged. If your wants to smelt Brass, Cooper, Aluminum, Bronze your not going to have any issues with this.

This is my first one and so far it's been really fun and a learning experience for me. Aside from the propaner connector needing an adapter to fit to my 5ga tank there were no Issue.

Works well. instructions were limited. Good for a basic starter to play with. The ingot mould was a bit small. But it does the job.

i Have are a 10 kg and a 6 kg they are both very good 10 kg heat faster than 6 melted over 500 lbs of copper 50lbs of brass 50 lbs aluminum they are both still good kao wool in rough shape but still working cheaper to buy new smelter than to buy kao wool over all they are great for the price don't use the gloves that come with it they are good for weeding thistles

This is a small one. But it works well. I smelted nineteen ingots My first run. I used about two thirds of a grill Propane tank. Once I got the thing hot (about fifteen minutes) It went really well. I was about six hours at it. It was hot enough to melt copper tubing out of my hand. I used a stick of half inch copper as a stirring stick and it melted at about one inch per second. It's probably 3000 degrees. I had to order my own refractory cement. Which was kind of a chore. Because you have to coat the blanket with refractory cement. I just bought a tub at the hardware store. I spent twenty five dollars on that, but it was a good investment. The product comes with some refractory cement but I would recommend picking some up. Because it saves the thermal blanket. After six hours of continuous use, the thermal blanket is in perfect condition. Because I coated it heavily with refractory cement. It actually got hot enough to Soften my crucible. After five hours, I pulled a little chunk off the crucible while lifting it out of the kiln. It's plenty hot. All in all I give it an A+. It is exactly what I wanted to smelt my scrap wire and copper tubing into ingots.
