- www.diycastings... Having not used a torch to cast it is obvious that a better setup is needed but I still manage to get an excellent cast regardless. The tool in this video can be placed over the vacuum tube converting an investment platform into a vacuum casting platform. www.diycastings...
I bought the same furnace from the local industrial surplus! Refit it with a ramp/soak PID. I now feel alot better itll work seeing you have the same. Thanks!
Genius
I see you got the ad thing going Craig...enjoy your 10 cents, watched the ad all the way and your vid too, interesting!
The ads are only on this one video so now I need to add it to all 117 more Lol
Hi Craig, I have looked everywhere for one of these vacuum casting accessory. Could you please let me know where I can get one from. Oh, I think your videos are so educational, thanks for sharing what you know with us!!!!
This a product I used to make but stopped a few years ago. Buyers would have blowouts and then ruin the hose. Hmmmm, this gives me an idea.
@@craigdabler-thediycastings7511 OK, What is the new idea?
@@tammywhittenham7952 I haven't had time to try it. One of these days.
Nice video, very helpful!
The casting dance!
Hi, what kind of silicone gasket do you use? What is the highest temperature this gasket can withstand? Thanks
I use the silicone gaskets from Rio Grande. Look them up for yourself if you want to know these questions which I don't have answers to. However, these have been the best gaskets I've ever used.
I was wondering how the vacuum works, is the plaster pourous enough to suck the air out or do you have a connection to the bottom of the plaster connecting to the vacuum?
After the investment is baked at high temp it becomes stronger and porous allowing air to be pulled through.
Craig, will items with an undercut, such as one might normally do in lost wax casting?
Hello where can i buy this? I need the pump too right?
This particular product works with an investing table which already has a pump but if you go to my website www.diycastings.com and look under vacuum casting I have this plus some other models.
This is a problem you face moving from spin casting to vacuum casting. You can't use an oxy torch and pull out the flask at the same time, a bit of a juggling act..
Generally, I use an Electro Melt which of course can't be used with spin casting but you're right about the torch.
Why not just make a torch holder that will be positioned properly and that frees up a hand.
2 arms ! -- come on , you got 10 fingers and a brain
Think outside the box
99% of the time I use an electro melt so I'm not going to worry about making a tool I'd only use for one video.
So show the casting....did it turn out?
I actually did a tutorial on this on FB showing the piece being submerged and then coming out (I then erased the video off my phone before uploading to You Tube). I will probably need to do another video that includes everything.
How much for this casting plate/table?
I have currently removed this product due to inability to get parts at this time. Thanks for asking.
@@craigdabler-thediycastings7511 That sucks. How about just the round plate?
@@George-ew3gx www.diycastings.com/vacuum-casting-tables-and-accessories
Do you still sell this casting table?
I will be adding it back onto my websites once I can get parts again. Thanks!
@@craigdabler-thediycastings7511 ok, I'll keep an eye on the sites, Thanks Craig.
how did it vacuum ????
Perfect!
Craig Dabler no i mean how does it work please tell mee
@@hahaha-bc8xh OK, there is an air tube which fits over the investing table tube which attaches to the table converting it into a casting table.
You need a helper.
Please edit your videos down we dont need to watch the torch for 10 minutes.
Then don't watch it.
