Copper Melt Using The ToAuto 1-3kg Electric Melting Furnace And Review

Welcome to my channel!!!

I was contacted by ToAutoTool, Fast To Buy Limited to do a collaboration using some of their equipment. I was sent a ToAuto 1-3kg Electric Melting Furnace. In this video, I will show the unboxing, setting up, melting, and pouring.

I am not being paid anything for my use or review of this equipment. This review is of my own use and my own words. ToAuto has not asked me or told me what to say about their equipment.

The package came in the mail from Amazon. It was packaged really well. Kind of hard to get it all out. The accessories were packed into one of the cavities of the styrofoam packaging. Setting up is really easy as shown in the video. ToAuto recommends that the crucibles be heat treated for 10 minutes to finish drying them out before use. Start to finish, from heating up to shutting off, it was approximately 1.5 hours. It is not as fast as using a propane fired foundry, but it is safer and can be used in a well-ventilated garage or shop in inclement weather. It is a sturdy piece of equipment that should last a long time if taken care off. Other than the time taken to heat up and melt the copper, I did not have any issues with this electric furnace. Using the 3kg crucible will take some getting used to. It is skinny and long and a bit touchy when pouring. My recommendation, on your first pour when full, needs to be a bigger pour or do not fill it up all the way. ToAuto recommends not to fill the crucibles more than 70% anyways.

The ToAuto 1-3kg Electric Melting Furnace is a really nice piece of equipment when melting metals. I will use it often in my videos for YouTube content and for personal use projects.

Disclaimer: Melting metals is dangerous and not to be taken lightly. If you decide to melt metal, make sure that you research the equipment used, the metals you plan to melt, and the safety equipment needed.

I like the electric furnace. Have the same. I usually melt my junk in devil forge then pour in smaller ingots and use in electric to cast small stuff inside workshop. over a year and no problems yet, knock on wood lol. good buy for small projects. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

Great video! Thanks for showing the process from start to finish. I'm thinking of getting this furnace. Subscribed 👍🏻

This is just a re-branded Vevor. You basically paid double for some orange paint and a plaque with their company's name on it lol. The company that supplies Vevor supplies other manufacturers with the same parts too so there are many similar ones, but this one's literally a painted Vevor.

I think you still need a 2 camera for the temperature display, and a few flowers to water them :D

I have a similar furnace but am having problems with it tripping the RCD in my fusebox. Can you put too much material in the crucible to begin with meaning it has to work too hard to melt? I see you are using copper wire. I have copper pipe that I have flattened and smaller ones I have made pellets out of. Any advice would be a massive help

Nice looking stuff! Care to share your connection on the molds? 😊

Is there a point to melting scrap down to ingots or coins or whatever can you not use your imagination and cast useful items and ingots with what is leftover what a waste of electricity
