where can I find a used oil furnace induction unit?

Sep 05, 2007 by Iron Snake | Posted in Sculpture

I am tiring to build a metal melting furnace. Any other advice is more than salutation.

My guesswork is nowhere as it sounds like an oxymoron. Either it is an oil burning furnace or it is an induction furnace (moving).
You have to consider how much metal you want to melt. If you don't hanker after to melt more than 2 or 3 pounds max, there are small induction pots at one's fingertips from jewelry supply stores. Though finding them used will be challenging, eBay and Craig's rota come to mind.
In addition it depends what metal you necessity to melt. For lead a torch should be more than sufficient, but I don't about you'll be able to melt steel.
If you destitution to melt large amounts of bronze for bronze casting every now I am sure it will be much more economical to attend a foundry group at an university with a foundry. If none is close you could also see if there is a local art foundry and if you either can pay them for their business or if you can work for them to pay for using the foundry as well. They only may consider the latter if you have a hunt down record of good metal work (are you kind with welding?)

What are the pros/cons of heating a house with a used oil furnace?

Dec 21, 2008 by Smelly Johnson | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

Cons are everything...oil is up-market. Oil furnaces require a lot of maintenance and cleaning. Oil is messy. Cons might be that in your ground oil is not so expensive and you know somebody who is an oil furnace expert. I don't propose oil burning furnaces, but in some parts of the country they are very amateur. Not in Missouri.

Can you burn used car oil in your oil furnace?

Oct 07, 2008 by tC72 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

After changing the oil in my car, can I use it by putting the oil in my oil tank? Would it choke up the burner nozzle with microscopic metal filaments or something correspond to?

It is viable to do this only in small quantities added to a full oil tank. You would also have to ooze the oil well to prevent any sediment from clogging up the heaters cheesecloth. I would not do it however. The ease at which you can drop off the oil to places like Move onward Auto for recycling is more than offset by the cost of furnace fix up. There are special oil heaters available at Northern Hydraulics that are made for this though and marvellously legal to use in your garage.
