[QUOTE="Hitdabox, post: 359776, member: 20138"] Hi all, I've been casting in a centrifuge with a broken arm caster for many years. Recently moved to vacuum casting using the zubler easy cast. Love how dense the castings are, porosity free, BUT I am getting miscasts and its annoying! (it looks like how alloy appears when it is too cold, but after a few of these and some temp corrections, I am still noticing it.) I think its because vacuum is pulling from the outside of the ring so when they are too centered its fighting the vacuum and not allowing flow to the margins... I know the spruing needs to be done toward the outside wall so ideally looking for sprue wheels but I'm looking for recommendations from people who are actually casting in vacuum. Thanks in advance for your help! [/QUOTE]
