Today, finding used foundry is a snap. With so many online resources available, used foundry is at your fingertips.

However, going through foundry equipment requires more skill and dedication, especially with the many offerings out there. It's best to talk to an agent who knows exactly what's in stock, to save you the trouble.


At any rate, all foundry equipment must come with warranties, and must be subject to stringent tests such as physical inspections to ensure no damage, matching internal and external serial numbers, intact manufacturer markings and labels, input voltage capabilities, diagnostic software treatment, thermal tests, internal diagnostic studies, functionality of all parts, faulty component checking, fail over tests for switches, real-time conditions testing, and rechecking prior to shipping. Each of these tests ensures that the equipment you receive, even used foundry, is in peak condition.

With the right foundry supplies, you can now build your own workspace. But be careful, this is hazardous equipment, so it's best to put all of your foundry equipment far, far away from your loved ones. A spare room outside house, the garage, or a shed should do just fine; just keep it under lock and key always.

To set up the space, figure exactly what you'll be using the foundry equipment for. Are you an artist, specializing in metal as your medium of choice, a hobbyist who enjoys tinkering with metal, or a professional craftsman with the intent of selling your work? No matter what vocation you choose, narrowing down the choices of your equipment can save you huge amounts of money.

To find out exactly what you need, it's wise to join some classes with other artists, blacksmiths, and craftsmen. There are open studios available for beginners, and are much cheaper than commercial art foundries. There are even offerings for students who want to go further in their craft, with special rates for supplies and equipment.
