TOAUTO NEW TRF3000 Resistance furnace 1+3KG Gold Melting Furnace 1800W 2102°F Digital Smelting Furnace Kiln Kit Tool with Graphite Mold for Jewelry Recycling Melt Scrap Copper, Gold, Silver, Aluminum

I've always enjoyed doing various types of crafts but had never tried metal working until recently. I found this furnace and decided to give it ago. It is pretty easy to use and heats up quickly. It comes with a couple of different size crucibles which you can choose the appropriate size for what you want to do. I think that the design is well thought out, and it works great. It seems like it will be very durable and should last me for a very long time. I have been enjoying melting down various types of metals and seeing what I can create from them. I think it was well worth the money and will keep me busy for a long time to come.

This comes with everything you need to melt metal. It is all high quality equipment, Heat gloves, tongs and crucibles and even a mold. I have melting cooper, aluminum and silver. Gets hot fast and stays hot..I would highly recommend this for beginner all the way to professional jewelry makers.No need don't want to mess around with torches or melting setups or other more involved setups, this will get you where you want to go quickly and with minimal hassle. The Quality is awesome.

I plugged it in a 110 power point.Turned it on and it sparked and tripped the breaker.I plugged it in to a separate outlet and it worked..once.I used it to melt silver,it did great.Turned it off,let it naturally cool down.Tried using it the next day and it will not heat up.So aggravated but on to bigger and better furnaces.

Works as advertised. I lost my wedding ring and decided to make new ones for my wife and I. So, I learned how to do it and bought all the stuff to do it. I tested copper then silver before doing the actual ring in gold. This melted all the metal in a reasonable amount of time.

My significant other has been wanting this for such a long time. I finally decided to get us one. I’m very new to this craft, so It’s a learning experience!! So far, I’ve enjoyed every minute of having this item! It’s easy to use, especially for beginners like me. I did watch several tutorials and videos, just so I was totally comfortable. We have collected different materials, and can’t wait to try them all. I went with this one because it’s such a perfect size for storing away, not too big, or too small! I love the extra, different sized crucibles that it comes with, also the heavy duty gloves, the molds, tongs, and The Instructions!!! Great instructions are always a plus! I think it was a great purchase for the cost and quality. I’m going to come back and share my first piece, as soon as it’s complete! I’m having a lot of fun with this!

The overall impression is ok, there are some features that need improvement.The user manual needs to be simplified, once mastered it's easy.Add a link to a video showing setting temp.The book says max is 1150 c initially it would not adjust to over 1100 cNow it sets to 1200c and melts copper easily, the seems accurateThe lifting tongs are almost unusable. They are so stiff it takes two hands to open themone side turns when open very unsafe and it take two hands to grip crucible.Also very short, when using two hands you're very close to 2000c copperI found that metal needed to be added during the melt as the larger crucible onlyholds about 1lb smashed copper tubing before meltThey could keep the gloves; one size does not fit all and the small mold.Very cool toy, small but worth the money, so far.CAUTION IT STAYS VERY HOT FOR A LONG TIME.

This furnace is easy to operate, with simple temperature controls, easy to follow instructions, and it works off house current through a regular outlet. It heats up to 1150 degrees Celsius so it has the ability to melt a wide variety of metals. It comes with two different sized crucibles so you have the right tool for the job you are doing. I love that it came with heat resistant gloves that will work for most adult sized hands. I really like that the parts that wear out (like the breaker and the resistance wire) are easy to find replacements for, so this unit should be able to be kept running easily for many uses. I am very new to this, but I am very happy with this furnace for what I want to do with it.

I have followed the instructions, it had taken me well over 2 hours to melt the crucible amount of copper. I am still waiting to do my first pour, definitely not strong enough for copper.
