Casting pot in European Union...?

[mukihr]

Hello guys,
can anyone suggest me what to look as a good deal for a pressure casting pot in European Union...
i have found several pot's but they are costing an arm and a leg ... those that are lower in price are usually aluminium pots that i don't want to have....
stainless steel is better imho....
Harbor Freight can't be found in EU.... :/
help would be nice - thank you....
best, daniel

Have you looked into casting without a pressure pot. Several are doing it now with good results. All I use is a toaster oven and sometimes a jewelry cleaner. You will want those anyway with a pot so might as well try it without first. Good Luck

Kenny - thank you...
yes, i have considered this option too...
however, i really need those pieces inside the finished block to stick together...
first i will need to turn it on lathe and second some amounts of heat will be applied while using it in a smoking pipe (which is my original intention)....
....
yesterday, i have found pot's in my country but they want an arm and a leg for them... 10L pot from SATA is something like 1400USD... way to much imo....

i would be searching for a pot that is a lot less....

.....

any links, ideas for a good pot - would be nice - thank you guys...
best, daniel

can i maybe use Polymerization pressure pot for dental labs....?
they go up to 4 bar of pressure (usually they use them on 2-2.5 bar)...
?
thanks...

Sorry I can't help you there. They tried to teach us the metric system back in school but it didn't stick. Good Luck.

1 bar is about 14.5 psi (1 atmosphere) 4 bar is 58 psi. So the Polymerization pressure pot is a possibility.
