Used casting machine

[bill m]

Hello I have been a denture tech. for 37 years and a one lab owner for 17. I want to start doing my own cast partials. I would like peoples opinions on me buying a old casting machine. I would like to start with used equipment and upgrade as I gain clients. I have a excellent tech who is willing to teach me what I need to know. I am thinking a ticomatic or thermotrol. Please give your opinions. I outsource about 25 units a month and can easily get 15 more once I am up to speed. Thanks

You can lease a new one from CMP and it is affordable. You'll spend way more money buying old used equipment.

I would get induction for sure ...there are a lot available on ebay for short money....I would look for a machine that has not been used a lot...some actually keep track of the number of casting that have been made
