[Jewelry making - Article 00387] - [Orchid] Indutherm MC15 mini pressure casting unit

    I am considering buying an Indutherm MC15 mini pressure casting unit
    for my home studio and am wondering if anyone has one or has seen
    one used, and if so, what they think of it. 

    I have been using a Motorcast motorized centrifugal casting unit for
    many years and have liked how I could cast gold or platinum with it.
    The drawback for using it at home is that it requires the caster to
    torch melt the metal, and the fire inspector rightly requires a
    hardwired smoke detector near where I must place the casting
    machine. So I am considering the Indutherm because it does not
    require a torch, would not set off my smoke detectors and would
    likely give me better castings due to the inert gas blanket over the
    melting metal. I have just never used one so any feedback would be
    appreciated. 

Thanks,
Mark
