rr316 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Does anyone have a source for used machines? Or even new machines, I have searched all over the web and haven't found much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 There are several listed on Ebay right now. Of the ones listed, I feel this might be the best buy. http://cgi.ebay.com/12-inch-Rubber-Mold-Casting-Machine-cast-metal-WOW_W0QQitemZ370352985596QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item563ac215fc It is an older model, but a workhorse and if taken care, will last forever. I have one similar that is a Conely and have been running it for years. The others listed are similar models (old), and are asking a lot more for them. I don't have all the web page addresses, but companies that make them are: Tekcast Contenti Conely You can Google them and get their websites. Most of them do have reconditioned units for sale but you may have to contact them for information and pics. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rr316 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Reeves, I have another question for you, do you makie your own molds for your machines? If not, who do you have do your molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 rr316, Yes, I do make my own molds. To do this it requires a vulcanizer and mold frames, which is another large cash outlay. Actually, if I had it to do over, I would have only bought the casting machine, but my equipment came as a package deal. Unless you are going to make a lot of molds it is more cost effective to have someone else make them for you. If there is anything else I can help you with to get started, don't hesitate to contact me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots to think about, even at the reduced price it will be the most expensive piece of equipment I hav ever bought for my company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
