Okay, I suspect this topic has been up and down the mountain a few times so I apologize for that, but despite going through the archives I found only bits and pieces of information.
I’m thinking of buying one of Magma Engineering’s “Master Casters”. Had a couple of questions.
(a) What is the general consensus on it’s efficiency? Based on what I’ve read so far it seems the machine works well, has very few problems, and is user friendly. Actually, it seems it’s pretty much fool proof. The only negative thing I read on it was that it is “boring” to run. I can live with that! Would those of you who have these machines mind telling me what you really think of them and how easy are they to run. Set the cost issue aside. No, I’m not made of money, but this gives me a very good pot and a mechanical way of casting with little effort. It would be worth it to me. Speed is not an issue either. It’s good for 400 to 500 per hour and that’s plenty for me.
(b) How hard is it to set up and to change molds?
Thanks for your thoughts.
