Little dragons helping dad out awsome!!! Great info about what's needed to do silver pouring! Always amazes me how you get the ripples so cool on your pour pieces!! Awsome video!!
I just got the gen1 version of this machine. It works well. I think that one is a couple hundred watts more so should be quicker. R2D2? That's fabulous. :)
I’ve got the same unit and I just got my 2nd one in after having the first ones screen melt during the first melt. I’ll be sticking to silver and trying it out over the weekend.
I have the same SY furnace, had it since late 2019 and has always worked quite well! I have been able to melt some copper in it. Just takes a real long time for it to heat up. Works great when melting scrap, or doing my silver/gold pours
You should make a correction to the video, it has a Max temp of 1150 and melts copper without any problems, I literally ordered the same model and received it this weekend, poured copper all weekend and this morning as well and was surprised to see your video on it!
hear is the issue I have with copper... if you run this at the max temp it WILL burn out the heating coil way faster than if you run it at 1100. I have seen it many times. 🤷♂️🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 makes sense. I was running at 1140 for copper but I've heard of others using 1100 for copper without problems. I am using copper shot or fine chop so I'm sure that helps. I'll try 1100 in the next day or two and let you know.
I bought the same one from Amazon and had to return it after the first use because my PID screen melted once I reached 1100. I was freaking out and my crucible started disintegrating when I tried to pour out the copper. Made my copper bar have black stuff all in it
This would be perfect if it got hotter. They make a good propane version I’m looking to order. Just wish I could do steel forging in an electric unit this size and at this price
Question ? I watched a video the other day, so if your doing .999 silver no borax ? If your doing 40% or 90% scrap coins you use borax ? Asking cause I'm new to silver melting and want to do it correctly. Thanks in advance for any info.!!!
Frag: have you ever assayed your stuff. I was in the local coin shop-he had a 100 oz bar that assayed at 93%. had to buy it back. Won't say the maker, but he called them and they requested it back for replacement. Maker seemed as concerned as was the dealer???
Anyone know what the default settings are for this machine. My smelte5r is brand new but does not heat. Red numbers just read "LLLL". ramping settings have blank values.
If you put sterling in the furnace, or even 90% coin, would the silver liquify and leave the copper as a solid, which you could extract (perhaps it floats to the molten surface with its lower density), leaving 99% pure behind for your pouring jobs ? It could be a good way to get to 99% pure silver, assuming you find just right temperature to leave the copper solid. Also, how long did it take to reach the desired temperature to melt the silver ?
I can’t believe how cheap this thing is, but y’all need to research art safety because casting, smelting, etc., all requires a lot to prevent chronic injuries.
Been melting copper for months with the same model. Works great
You should do a video on buying gold peices over an ounce, or a guide to buying fractional gold
great video idea! 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 that gives me hope it's going to happen one day
Believe it or not the 5 gram and 10 gram gold bars are the best deal for price 90% of time

thanks brother and yes you gotta get the kids going as early as you can! 🔥🐉

very cool! yeah the hardin gets a lot hotter so copper is a easy with that one 🔥🐉

Max temp is 1150
how often do u have to replace the crucible ?
You always seem to know what videos I want to see!
that’s what I like to hear 😎🔥🐉
Hey silver dragons, great furnace btw. A copper melting point is 1085 C
This would be perfect if it got hotter. They make a good propane version I’m looking to order. Just wish I could do steel forging in an electric unit this size and at this price
That R2-D2, very cool!
Where do you get the molds from thanks

That is way too cool 😎
Do you have to season a crucible with Borax?
Just purchased one! Awesome video!
Interesting 🧐 thank you for sharing 👍
Would you recommend this over one of the tabletop furnaces? I’ve always wanted to get into pouring.
It looked like it was easy to work with! Nice ✌️🌻🌻
yes super easy for sure! 🔥🐉

Great video. Question if silver melt point is 961.78 c why set your machine to 1095c ? Thanks
I hope I don’t sound like an idiot but what’s the point of melting and pouring silver is it just fun

Nope. Takes way more effort to make it pure again
How long does it take to melt the silver from beginning to end???
THANKS FOR SHARING
you are welcome! 🔥🐉
Yes and how that can cost for the electricity ? $
The toauto upgrade orange, do ok with copper?
How long does it take to melt the silver to casting point?
Nice. I see you went with the one I got a little while back. Whatever you do...don't play with the settings lol just let it do what it does ;)
The tongs suck btw...they'll get you killed when they start to bend.
It DOES fine for melting copper by the way. I've melted copper several times and it works just fine.
Great video nice furnace great video 😀
thanks so much! 🔥🐉
Does any silver get lost during this process?
Which furnace will melt copper?
Does anybody know if the 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coin worth anything?
Worth a $1
I got the same machine its a ok toauto
So this is good for separating silver from pre 64 coins?
Hows it do on scrap coin melts
How many watts do these furnaces draw?
hi chris, it's about 1400W
Yes, I want one, any pointers on how to purchase it now?
go to the website and order it with your credit card
It took more then 2 hours just for a one pour. How long dose it have to cool down? Sound like 2 trys a day at best or its broken.
I don’t think it takes 8 hours to cool down….
That's pretty cool but I do wish it did copper
It does melt copper, no problem.
if you do copper it will burn out the heating coil super fast. I would not recommend it 🔥🐉
New sub here bro🎉
Tempting
Copper: 1084°C (1983°F)
would it work4constitutional?
yeah but don’t melt that it’s history! 🔥🐉
First!! Nice video
thanks so much! 🔥🐉
Melt an ASE!
No copper = no sale.
Did you buy it or did they gift it to you 😂

Everyone who see this comment, check out on SD bullion, they pay 7 dollar over spot to buy back silver eagle
