I still haven't had a chance to use them yet, as I have been stuck for time. Having said that, the packaging was good/ arrived in great condition, and the crucible was actually a little bigger than what I was expecting. Very impressed.
My Vevor Smelter arrived super quick and was well packaged, no chance of getting damaged. It was easy to assemble and everything fitted together perfectly. I fired it up and made a small gold brick no problems. I have bought other items from Vevor and they have all been quality made professional equipment and at a reasonable price. Glad I found them!!
This is a good starter kit but before melting you should get a good set of lifting and pouring tongs. The corner of fire brick was broke but that’s nothing the crucible had a little manufacturing damage on one side but I cured it to bright orange and slow cooled in the furnace and it went thru 4 pours no issues bearly showing any use
This little furnace works great and was easy to get set up. I don't think it actually gets up to the temps that it says though - I have tried aluminum with great success however I was unable to melt copper in it.
it takes a little getting the hang of, but it's not that hard to use.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
