caster Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 We do all types of spin casting. What questions do you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meallenjr Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 That looks like it cost $$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaery Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 That looks like it cost $$$$ The equipment does. The video kinda makes it look like a bigger deal than it really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 That looks like it cost $$ I bet their is a DIY solution, but who is going to be the first to try it, with all that hot lead flying around. Is it just numbers or can spincasting do other stuff that normal pouring cannot do? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just numbers or can spincasting do other stuff that normal pouring cannot do? Dave "Bigger is better", numbers that is, but some of the "other stuff" would be; very small defect where spru is attached. Location of this can be put in a spot that is not noticeable and the centrifugal force will force the lead through a small area, like the bait holder of a jig. Does not need cutting off. The jigs require very little effort to remove from spru. Instead of breaking off 1 at a time, you can usually break off several at a time depending on what size it is, providing the mold is made correct. I also pour Zinc and make key chains with this. You could put quarters in your mold and then you could really make some money. I'm not sure what that would cost, maybe big time. Seriously, the silicone molds will pick up very good detail. A DIY I'm sure is possible, depending on what you are pouring, variable RPM's and pressure would be nice. I don't think a DIY spincast would benefit 1 person. I need a minimum of 4 people loading molds to keep the spincast machine busy. And then you would need 10 to 15 molds to keep them busy. Now you have to have someone count and bag or rack for painting etc.. etc.. Bottle necks. not that kind. You increase production in one area and gets backed up in another.

dlaery Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I need to change what I said. 1 person would benefit, in spru removal, and it would be faster for 1. I guess I was thinking of cost. If you could come up with DIY at a low cost or a used a machine and then have someone make your molds, it would be a benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I only pour a few ballast molds, so no need for such equipment, but I am always interested in technology. If I was to need more movement of lead, I would probably go vacuum, because I have been there before. Question - what speeds are we talking about ?rpm. Thanks for sharing.

Dave On 9" molds, I spin at 500 to 1000 and on 12" 400 to 700 I guess the 12" is goin faster, surface speed, than the 9" If you spin too fast, the lead will flash between the two mold halves. I also keep pressure from 25 to 40. I can also spin clockwize or counter clockwize. Then there is a timer, 10 seconds on most molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the numbers through my centrifugal forces calculator, some serious loads going on. A 10 gram weight being thrown outwards at 300 grams. I take it that the 20 - 40 pressure is the clamping pressure or is the lead under injection pressure also? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead is poured in with a ladle. I make my ladles to hold just the right amount of lead to pour in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
