Any of your folks know of good places to get investment casting equipment? I'm mainly looking to get stuff so that I can work with Stainless Steel (melting point of about 1600C/2700F). I've done aluminum casting down at Tech Shop in Durham, but they only do Sand casting with aluminum melted in a propane tank powered furnace.

The Bossman wants me to get a furnace that will melt stainless, but its hard to find one that is under $5000. Got any used equipment leads for stuff like this? Any other suggestions would be great too.

The investment side of it is not a problem including the pattern burnout, just need help melting the stainless.
 
I've heard of those guys. They have been recommended to me before for casting projects. We are just working on being able to do it in our own shop. We have knowledgeable folks here and a great system for producing masters. Just looking to eventually get into stainless steel.
