Casting Tutorial 

I have been daydreaming to get to this part of casting. It may be a bit longer but your video now gives a solidified vision. Thanks.

THANKS SO MUCH. YOUR TUTORIAL IS GOOD AND THE METHOD OF PRODUCTION IS INNOVATIVE AND SIMPLE.

SUPER HELPFUL thanks for making this so simple

TO ALL READERS, divesting the hot investment release a big amount of silica and quarts particles, make sure you all wearing the right mask and doing it under a good ventilation.

Good video! Question- Is the huge sprue diameter necessary because of the vacuum rather than centrifuge casting? I only use the heavy sprue when stacking multiple models on a "tree" set up.... Thanks! Dave

Do you sell the equipment? Can you give me a list of price for all? Thanks!!!

That was the best damn casting video i ever seen 💯

Question about the vacuum pump used. Have you found that the CFM matters when casting. Trying to figure out if a 3CFM vacuum pump will suffice or if I need to go bigger. Thanks

Use Argentium 935 on silver no pickle will be needed ! , I see you use rio grande , they all ways good and have the best stuff !

So with the vacuum cast you don't need a hole in the mold? How does the metal get sucked down?

Bookmarking for my class- thanks for posting

Invaluable.. Thank you, you gave me many answers to my questions.. Thank you again :-) Subscribed x

What size flasks and rubber sprue basses are you using...? Also where can i purchase them from!?

Nice video. Although the borax is not needed since the crucible is graphite. If using "whip and torch" then borax is needed. Keep up the awesome work!

nice video. What tabletop graphite crucible did you use for that ring? thank you

doesnt the flask lose the exact twmp it needs for the metals to flow ?

Hellow l just have one question for you? l was wondering if your metal melting furnace gets hot enough to melt stainless steel? 🤔

Would you recommend that riogrande vacuum and casting machine? I'm afraid to get a riogrande brand because they're not really known to be manufacturers. I want the dura-bull casting and vacuum but that one is double the price.

Hello, can i ask if is necessary the silicone pad or if i can use another material? i cannot find one here in Italy... that pad resist 600 Celsius?

Hello,thank you for nice video, please teach me the name of the casting machine and where I can buy .thank you

This video is very helpful !!

I’m confused how the vacuum works for the metal pouring portion. Does the investment plaster have tiny holes in it? The bottom looked solid, so there’s no large holes, how does the vacuum draw in the molten metal when there is solid investment plaster between the vacuum and the metal?

Thank you very much

Nice setup 👍

hello there this is Joseph Stevens, I am a big fan of yours I watched all of your videos I really enjoy your jewelry making. I had a question if you don't mind, is vacuum casting better than certificate casting. also what is the best way to that someone can sell their jewelry pieces

Could you please tell us what is the investment (povder material) you are using, is it ceramics or some cind of plaster? where do you get it?

Can you provide a list of tools/materials used in this video?

I want to buy the Rio Grande vacuum/casting table but does it matter what pump I use as long as it is the correct cfm ?

Is it necessary to get 2 table top furnace could I use 1 for wax and melting metal

Hi, I'm from Argentina, using the metal, is it with something that aspires so that it enters the mold? and what is plaster? how white what material is it? Thank you

Very cool!

Hey do you think I could buy a cast off from you? I want to make my own gold pendant but I don’t have the materials to make the cast

I have a burning question. What kind/size wax sprues are being used at 0:45 ?

nice set up you have

can any one tell me how vacuum tabel works in cast setup? is there a hole(some sort of air vent in investment) or the material is so porous it lets air out? coz i didn't see her put any air vent and thought whole vacuuming investment is to not make it so porous

great video , thanks for sharing. Do you offer 1 on 1 tutorial ?

After casting what would happen if you waited until it cools before putting in water?

What the size of rubber sprue and the cylinder flak ? Thanks

I melt a small blob of wax into the rubber base and level it so there is no protrusion from the bottom of the rubber cone. Then I attach a short wax sprue like you did, but thinner than the shank of the ring, yours is too thick, and make the height of the sprue as short as possible. This way when you calculate how much silver or gold is needed you will need much less because the weight of the wax is much less. Also, placing the flask into an oven only ten minutes after setting is a good way to explode the investment. Need at least 2 hours. I don't use a burn out cycle table in my castings. I set the oven for 425 F at 1 hour and check periodically so I can dump the wax tray. After 1 hour I go direct to 1340 degrees for 1 hour and then go down to 950 for a half hour and then take the flask out and into the casting chamber and cast. Never had a single problem with this method over hundreds of castings. Cheers. ;)

Being in the dental lab field there's an easier way to do this albeit you'd need to invest in an investment mixing and casting machines.

which casting powder do you recommend?

thank you

Te saludo desde Colombia🇨🇴 un abrazo 🤗 ☑️ 🎥

hi, may i ask is this normal resin or wax - like resin ?

What kind of resin is used for this? Regular resin or is there a special kind? Help anyone

How many time need to put or hours in furnace

Thank you for the video!

Hi! What is the name of the machine in which the wax melts and the mixture hardens? thanks

How much gold alloy do you need? How do you calculate it?

Is it possible to also cast stainless steel as well?

i have the same kiln as you, did you do any modifications. ie. drill vents or anything for the wax to evaporate?

Can you micro pave set with this method?

4:10 How much time kept the flask inside in to the burnout furnas ?

how hours did you set for heating the furnace ?

casting grains with borax? what was the first about?

I'm just learning about this process and I have to say, I like your vacuum a lot better than those centrifuges people use! Those things scare the crap outta me!

How to avoid casting shrink? Is there a formula? Please advise?

Thank you very nice of you to show that,

Hi, what is the white material? common wax?

How much would you charge me to do a lost wax cast of a small trinket if i was to send it to you made out of the wax product of your choice? It would not need to be perfect. In fact some air bubles and imperfections would be what I would prefer.

what is the largest flask (X number of castings) you can achieve using that size casting table? is it only good for single items or can you make a few at a time?

I like this kind of casting

How many cfc dose your vaccum pump gives?

What is the vacuum table doing when you pour the melted metal? ............. why do you need to put the cast over the center hole? there doesnt seem to be a hole or opening at the bottom of the cast? ............ so my question is why are you using the vacuum table when you pour the metal?

Nice vidio. I want to know what is the plask temperature in this vidio

I really love your voice *-*

When you replace the silicon mat with the ring how come the ring doesn't burn up when you put the hot flask on the rubber ring when casting? Thanks for the video!

Would it be possible to specify if this process can be done with ANY vacuum table, provided theres a correct pomp attached ofcourse, Or does it have to be a table built specifically for this process. Does the table itself require power? Kind regards

starting from what temperature to how many bosses, and how many hours it takes

why not vacuum the pot directly after casting for optimum result?

What brand of investment did you use?

thank you. you just saved me money on a vacuum table

PLEASE can I have a list of equipment, love your footage!

Hey where did you get that machine and how much did it cost?

haipls give me thermal timing and setting for the same thanks In advance aboo ibana

Excelente.

The hot metal melts all the wax?

हेलो सर यह जो वैक्यूम पंप है यह कितनी हॉर्स पावर की है

Where is the best place to buy the casting grain?

I need to learn this craft

how many grams of silver did that little flask take for one ring ?

Thank you! Could you please tell me what model you Rio Grande vacuum table is please!

Where we can by that casting machines.

Ill add my 2c for everyone asking Rio grande is the best place to find all these supplies youll need. They even sell a full casting kit that has everything you need and some so you dont have to piece it all togeather. You will need to buy a killn and if you can spring it a automatic melting furnace. The wax is a castable wax, not sure what she is using but Formlab is what i use and they are top notch.

can i have a list of equipment?

Hi! How can i look for the 3d printer filament? brand/features name? any advice about the printer settings? im looking info because im about to start a school project related to gears and stuff like that, please, help me.

Thanks for the video

Can I order my own necklace from here Like what kind of necklace?

Where to buy that rubber base? How does it called

First would like to say thank you for making this video!! It was very informative. I just purchased a 3D Resin printer and I was interested and doing this process. Would you be able to list the machines you are using and/or make any suggestions on picking equipment for a beginner..

does anyone know what white powder is used as a mold

how many minutes does this little flash burn

I would love to know where the molds and the rubber bottoms are obtained!

Where can I buy the wax rings or better yet where can I buy everything on the video and what are the names or item numbers of each machine?

Where can i buy this equipament kit??

what kind of investment mix was that?

How much time takes to burnout process

I wonder how the vacuum pump can suck the hot metal in to the investment, since there is no connection between upper hole and the bottom of investment(vacuum chamber). How is possible? Is the material of casting make a porous media to convey the air through?

How come u only pour a little bit ? How do you know how much to pour.

What's the name of that white powder?
