    Default Casting well ideas

    I am finally getting around to setting up a casting machine in the lab. Currently I use the one from my previous job, dont ask. Is there a reasonable priced well that someone makes or am I better of making something from scrap metal or even masonry? If you have thoughts or even some pics of something you built share them with me.


    Thanks

    Travis

    I know handler makes a well but I am not sure who carries them. Someone from this site who submitted a link shows a well but no price.

    Casting Well for Dental Labs - Dental Lab Equipment from Integral Systems

    I might try the cabinet setup with some kind of safety setup inside it.

    Most companies that make broken arm casting machines also sell the wells: Kerr, Handler, Buffalo. Kerr is the main one that we sell as it's made nicely and not too expensive right around $120 for the Kerr well.

    what we and other labs arround here use is the old style round washing machine well
    it works real good and the size is perfect,,you can install that on a cabinet also.
    you can find them free at any washing machine shop or fleamarket
