Thread: Home Casting in Mazak
30/08/2009 12:42:03
I did some of this many years ago, the main thing I found was not too mix the material up. Motorcycle carburetor bodies are not the same stuff as car door handles and most motorcycle parts are not Mazak at all. I got the impression that quite different alloys were used for the various components, no doubt for some very good reason that wasn't apparent to me ! If you do mix hem up you will probably end up with something like very hard porridge. Don't mix them up, don't overheat them and try to find an appropriate flux, the stuff I used came in an "unmarked brown wrapper" from a guy in the trade. TC
