With a little bit of electricity know-how, you’ll be on your way to torching things in no time.I decided to make an electric furnace because it’s totally silent, I may use it inside my workshop, I also may control temperature and I don’t have to worry about lack of gas or wood coal.

The furnace works perfectly, after an hour of preheating the temperature is ready to melt aluminium. I didn’t test it to maximum temperature because 800 degrees of Celsius is sufficient.

An external case is a bit warm but it doesn’t pose a problem in using it. I heat workshop in winter so I won’t have problem with it.I am going to use this furnace mostly to cast aluminium, later I am going to use it on lathe.This aluminium works really well to melt aluminium!
