Tiranti do some of the kit you are after, spin caster and melting pot. The only other option is to google it. I got my machine some years ago from S&R Engineering in newark, it is a big one, reconditioned from GW I think. |

Hi, Seba in the UK are who alot of us use, they are very nice to deal with and very helpful: seba.co.uk/Home.html Tiranti machines are very small but it depends what your production level is of course! Jo |

I think S&R Engineering have gone bust, the phone numbers we have get no response. |

I think Seba are your best bet, though don't expect much change from 10 grand. Also don't forget a good extraction system, talken powder particles and liquid metal fumes are not good for the lungs no matter how tough you might think you are. Alternatively pay someone else to do the work for you. griffinmoulds.com/about.htm |
