Always Cast with a Buddy!

For safety purposes, the Casting Shop requires that shop users work in pairs when pouring molten metal.

Electro-melt furnaces are used for melting metal. The Casting Shop owns a 1kg Kerr Electro-melt Furnace and a 3kg Rio Electro-Melt Furnace.

Always wear Eye Protection, a Leather Apron, and Gloves when using the Electro-melts, and turn the shop ventilation on.

An overview of the Electro-melts can be found here:

An overview of the Electro-melt use for Sand Casting can be found here:

Select crucibles are supplied by the shop and dedicated to a single metal to avoid cross contamination.

Frequent shop users may wish to purchase their own crucibles for personal use. New crucibles can be purchased here:
