Casting machine?

[Marylandfarmer]

We are thinking of getting a new casting machine. I am looking at the Bego "Nautilus CC" at $28,000 and the "Lukacast" at $12,000. I saw both at the Chicago midwinter meeting and have spoken with several labs that use the Nautilus but I have not heard of anyone using the Lukacast. It looked impressive, its German and small.

I would appreciate any opinions of anyone that has either of these machines

Try KDF Cascom SE better price and heaps more advance in technology to make your life easy . I was looking at those options when I stumbled across this.
Cheaper too Jap build quality and heaps of support from the manufacturer for me in Australia as no company was Distributing it here when I bought it !!

Luka cast isvery primitive and human error is high based on a friends long term lab experience . I used it once and did not buy as a result
