Getting into forging isn't as difficult as you might think, and this forge is a good place to start. The article will teach you what to look for as well as how to troubleshoot simple problems. The quality of the product you receive is determined by the price you pay. Don't forget to make sure that all connections don't leak when you put it all I found that 3 out of 8 bolts that hold the burner in place were totally stripped when it arrived. You can mix a heat coat mixture in a small bowl to do a proper coating, but when applying be conservative. As far as forges go, it's a good one for beginners.
The forge is quite nice. Liner holes on the preinstalled cover did not align very well with the burner holes. Rather than welding the burner mounts, they have just been In order to make it more durable and to ensure that the heat wouldn't burn them off, I had to weld them up myself. My understanding is that the 2 part epoxy sealer they sent was for sealing the gas line to the regulator because the gas line tubing didn't fit tight into the regulator's nip. It will be a decent forge after a few upgrades by myself. I would definitely recommend this setup for beginners.
This purchase was ordered and I eagerly awaited the delivery so that I could set it up and use it right away. The feeling of disappointment I experienced when I opened the box was simply unbearable. As much as I would like to think it was a fluke, I would have been embarrassed to display it in my store.
Here are the bad points It is a shame that there is so little refractory cement available. This is barely enough to cover the ceramic insulation with a thin layer. There's no way this is on par with recommendation Approximately 5mm thick. There is a lot to like A simple task. When you put the burners on to the prescribed temperatures, it's never a problem to reach the needed forging temperature. I tested it last night, it takes a few minutes for it to get to welding temperature, but it does. The cross-section I had on the cross did not reflect the welds I had set Using chisels failed to separate the sheets, they stuck together even after repeated cold bending, and they remained in place when heated under heat stress (being yellowed and sticking.
I have a couple of things to say. First of all, the instructions are written in somewhat poor English, but they are clear enough to figure out since this is not a terribly complex As for you second question, the heat refractory that comes with the forge is not sufficient to coat it properly. You should buy satanite or ITC 100ht for the coating, it will be more effective. the ceramic blanket on my product had a small gap in it that allowed heat to escape from it. The gap was along the top of the blanket, which is supposed to be secured within I managed to burn quite a bit of paint off the body due to No matter how hard I push this forge, it has never been able to heat steel to welding temperature. A fuel/air mixture is notoriously difficult to get a strong and steady flame, and even when it does, I am unable to get any steel that is far above a high orange color, even if block off both ends completely When it comes to general forging, the forge works fine as a beginner piece, but if you anticipate welding, find another workbench.
Considering the price, this forge is a great deal. This oven was easy to assemble, and once the burners were dialed in, it heated up quickly and well. I received the items in good condition and there were no damages to any of them.
This forge is used for making knives This product comes with everything it takes to set it up and adjust it properly. In summary, the directions provided were sufficient to get the project up and running. I recommend it.
When I first opened it, I didn't realize it was broken, I had to loosen that air control valve with a monkey wrench.
