what is the max temp. and will it melt zink.
1127397
Lee advertises that this melting furnace reaches a temp of 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Zink melts at 787 degrees Fahrenheit

It will definitely melt zinc, I use wheelweight lead alot and it has a lot of contaminants, as for the max temp I'm not sure. I'm going to guess around 1000 degrees but I know when you get it good and hot the coils and even the lead itself glow red in poor/dark lighting

I have not checked the temperature but my guess is max temp around 700. It does melt and pour lead very well but I would not recommend it for melting zinc which has a melting point almost 150 degrees higher than lead. I use a "turkey cooker" burner and a cast iron pot to do my rough lead melting and zinc melting. Hope this was helpful...Dewayne

This melter doesn't get hot enough to melt Aluminum. Also, as it has a steel liner in it, and, steel only has a slightly higher melting point then Aluminum, it would be a mistake to try it ..

No, it won't melt. Basically it a giant roll of clinging plastic wrap. A larger version of the stuff one uses in the kitchen. So it has to be above the water boiling point temperature to melt.

This furnace is designed for Gold and Silver smelting. Since the melting point of Gold is 1,948F, it should melt aluminum at 1,220F. But avoid setting the temperature to its maximum as it may burn out the heating element(which may be purchased at the manufacturer's site)

Propane torch will go up to 1650 F and gold melts at 1950 F. You can melt Gold with a MicrowaveGold Melting Kiln or a crucible,torch and a manually air blown steel pipe which raise the temp to melting point.

I have answered this question earlier " Propane torch will go up to 1650 F and gold melts at 1950 F. You can melt Gold with a MicrowaveGold Melting Kiln or on a crucible,with a Propane torch and a manually air blowing the flame with a steel pipe which will raise the temp to melting point."Uttamjeet Chadha answered on April 15, 2014

I have not tried to get it as hot as it would go but I hit 380+ when setting it around 190C by the gauge as measured with a thermometer.Using a mix of pure pressed palm oil, non hydrogenated, mixed with sunflower oil (as I did not have enough palm oil to fill).

You can apply heat on the low setting . no problem. It won't melt at all.. And, NO gooey plastic mess, either!

A high temp polymer. Have used ours several times in a toaster, no signs of a problem.

hmmm... I seriously doubt it but don't know for sure. Depends on the melting point for copper. I think this pot maxes out at 900f. It's pretty much meant for lead.

It will melt if it gets warm. I put mine in the refrigerator when that happens. Otherwise no.

Being that cold is most likely going to affect the z-wave performance. No mention of operating temperatures in the package that I can find.

No, it won't: its maximum temp is around 800 degrees F while gold melts around 1950 degrees F and silver around 1760 degrees F

I have never had any problem with melting and have been using for several years. I never cook above 350.

Honestly I think it could melt low temp metals. I dont know the melting point of copper. On large pieces, given some time, I do think it would melt soldering materials. I hope this helps.

No, this mold is made of aluminum, so the temperatures required to melt copper is much higher than what this mold can handle. I suggest an iron mold for what you want.

Not sure the melting point but I think it melts around 4-500 my iron is usually set around 650 and it's great stuff
