Lost Foam Metal Casting - Web Update
I've just posted yet another LFMC saga at
http://www.theworkshop.ca/casting/Fo...ry5/Fndry5.htm What I really need is some sort of industrial engineer to take me by the hand, wipe away my tears and set me straight on the facts about LFMC... 3 years ago when I started LF Casting it seemed too good to be true... by my experience I think that it has been over hyped...

( I've seen bubbles in plaster removed in a vacuum chamber (on a This Old House episode where they do a factory tour of an investment casting place). I've only poured one casting ever in my life, though, so I'm no expert. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com |
