This is our business, we know it well!
We have sold well over a thousand furnaces and twice as many crucibles(graphite, fire clay,silicon carbide and STEEL). You can use a steel crucible 40-50 times before it springs a leak and when it does it is a drip drip drip, you have time to pour your metal. Steel crucibles hold twice as much aluminum as the other crucibles.
We use the same items that we sell, they work great
All our foundrys go out with sand casting instruction, safty instructions and how to operate the furnace. Our foundrys are in colleges, universitys, high schools(atleast 30)across the United states and several other schools in other countrys. Our furnaces and crucibles are used in many companys includding LARGE Foundrys, heck we even ship them to our miltary men/women in Iraq. You seem to want to scare the crap out of people, when it comes to metal casting. Dang, we teach to disabled kids and adults and have been doing so for more than 10 yrs, we have been in the foundry business for almost 40 yrs. One our first metal casting classes we did was our local fire station crew, they inspected and then went on with class. A motorcycle club on the discovery channel uses our furnace and crucibles.
1200 foundrys sold and never heard anyone getting hurt. Our foundrys are sold in several mining supply stores in Cali, Nevada, Montana, if our product was not safe they would not sell them.
Molten metal is just like handling hot grease or boiling water. This is not for whimps or whiners! But kids are ok.
