    I haven't gotten to a furnace as of yet. So far my carious cups and 8000 Bernz Torches are serving me well and so very affordable. This unit is a nice looking piece of kit but I think for now I am staying as is. Thanks though. I can see this being an arc unit it would be far superior to a coil type unit. Pour times with my setup is generally 5 to 7 min after the first pour. It can run up to 12 min for a heavy first load.

      We get the raw silver from the european mint and it comes in the form of shot. The moulds - a lot of them are pre made items. Otherwise I work with a mould make called GNG Machine works and they can make things we design. It is very good to help you and these kilns are able to be shipped worldwide if that is something you were looking to get.
