- In this video I'll be testing out the Katway HH-CM03 medium vacuum investing & casting machine by Katway tools. This is a professional casting machine which greatly helps with the investment casting process. It comes with all the metal and rubber gaskets you will need along with a perforated flask, tongs, and bell jar. You are able to cast using small and large flasks up to 5" X 7". The only thing not included is the oil for the vacuum pump which you can pick up for cheap off Amazon. (See link below). I hope you find this video helpful and if you did, please give it a thumbs up and hit that Subscribe button for more.

Hey everyone, if you haven’t used one of these investment casting machines, you’re missing out. They work great and make your casting process that much easier. I would highly recommend getting one for those of you into investment casting and the whole process. I’m still cleaning up this piece but I’ll be posting the finish cast once it’s finished. Enjoy and I’ll see you all in the next one! 👍🏻
Ad it's John Lee first of all WTF have I bought, I didn't realise it was that big and did I tell you the ring fits thank you
Cool video. 😊
Hello, I have a question for you : how long did you vacuum the cylinder ? Thank you
Try an experiment, make 2 identical patterns, sprue exactly same way. Invest same. Same alloy, same temperature. Only difference would be one normal with casting vaccume, the other without.
You want to minimize sprue to art height, this would get the hottest molten (last liquid) metal available when casting cools & shrinks. That is why there is a void in feeder under your part @8:11 .
Also vent sprue from very tips of art wings to metal pour bowl, not half way. Trapping air (porosity) caused by a non-laminar casting method.
Awesome table!
I would love to have stuff like that!
Still trying to move outta here so I can! LOL
I found a bell that might fit your flask and bowl!
Sent an email with the link!
Piece looks cool!
Thanx for a great vid!
BTW, I don't have ig or fb. 😉
I think elegoo, anycubic or Phrozen should send you a modern resin printer already so you can play with castable resins like bluecast, siraya cast or Powerresins. Those layer lines drive me crazy on FDM prints haha
Very cool, I guess this is primarily marketed to jewelers?
I would say yes. But then there’s people like me that like to make random stuff :)
Hi 👋
Looks great! What PLA did you use? I’m under the impression that regular PLA doesn’t burn out very well. I’ve heard that there are specialized 3D print materials that are recommended for those who don’t use resin printers but not sure how much of a difference it actually makes or if I need to just switch to resin. Any thoughts?
I use polycast castable filament. It works great however you still have print lines. You can use isopropyl alcohol though to smooth it out just like you would acetone for ABS.
@@ArtByAdrock Thanks man I appreciate the response! I just picked up a roll and am looking forward to trying it out! Huge fan of your work btw your content is always so masterfully done. Love to see it!
Make sure the dome isnt on when applying vaccuum to the casting chamber and similarly dont block the casting chamber when vacuuming the dome
@@honthirty_ its in the kayacast instructions
Where did you get that big perforated flask?
@@mfeltster I think I bought that one from Rio Grande
Hey i have some troubles. I put my flask. And turn on the investment machine. And the hot liquid metal ends up exploding and flying out. Any help id appreciate it
That’s most likely because your flask wasn’t burned out properly and there’s still moisture in the plaster.
@@ArtByAdrockthank you. So should the plaster be dry? I saw a diy on burning out the wax with a vegetable steamer. Thats probably y. U think a dehydrator could burn out the wax and dry the plaster? I cant afford a proper burner due to my living situation.
@joshmendoza3679 you could use your oven or a grill to burn it out but it’s not recommended. You need it to be completely dry so even just sit it out in the sun for 2 weeks after burning it out. Without the proper tools though you probably won’t get great results.
@@ArtByAdrockdamn okay, thank you for the feedback
Hrm why does it not have the Made In America label on the front like others do
New machinery manufactured in Asia? Stop the presses!
It's a knockoff, I have one of these. It does the job though.
