This is an older model Kerr brand Casting Centrifico machine with accessories and was part of a grouping of lapidary estate items I purchased locally. It appears to have had a good bit of use but the spring is still good and strong.
It comes with three (3) flask cradles (one marked size 2C, one marked size 3C, and one unmarked), and I am also adding to this lot one (1) unused WESCO brand Large A size (3oz, 85gr) high temperature crucible, two (2) steel casting flasks ( one measuring 2" diameter by 2-1/2" long and the other measuring 1-3/4" in diameter by 2-5/16" long) and matching rubber sprue bases.
Because of the power of the winding spring this Centrifico will need to be bolted down to a work bench when used and you'll also need a pair of casting flask tongs and a centrifugal casting shield to catch any hot molten overflow when using. Many people use round galvanized tub (available at hardware stores) for a low cost shield. YouTube has a several videos showing the usage of this type of "Centrifugal Casting".
The price is $145.00 plus $28.50 S&H via Fed Ex Home Delivery anywhere in the U.S. Continental forty-eight states. If interested in purchasing please PM me the email address to send your Pay Pal Invoice to and please post your intentions to purchase on this thread so others will know if this item is spoken for. Thank you!
