Who I am: I’m a robust rolling mill used to shape and flatten metal by passing it between two rollers.

Why I’m useful: I allow you to reduce the thickness of your metal pieces, create uniform sheets, or add texture to your designs. My square grooves allow you to shape metal into a square or taper round wire.

Who I am: I’m a melting pot designed to melt pewter. Take the pewter sandcasting class to see what I can do!

Why I’m useful: I make it easy to melt and pour pewter into molds, enabling you to create detailed castings with smooth surfaces. My precise temperature control and bottom-pour design help ensure that your cast pieces are free of impurities.

Who I am: I’m a centrifugal casting machine used to create detailed metal castings by spinning molten metal into a mold at high speed.

Why I’m useful: I enable the production of intricate, high-quality jewelry pieces with sharp details and smooth finishes. By using centrifugal force, I ensure that the molten metal fills even the smallest cavities in your molds.

Who I am: I’m a small, heated pot used to hold a mild acid solution, known as "pickle", which cleans metal by removing oxidation, flux, and other impurities after soldering.

Why I’m useful: I keep your jewelry pieces clean and polished by effectively removing surface impurities after heating or soldering. The mild acid solution helps restore the metal’s natural shine and prepares it for further work or finishing.

Who I am: I’m a sturdy metalworking tool with a flat surface used for hammering, shaping, and forming metal.

Why I’m useful: I provide a solid, reliable surface for shaping your metal pieces, including flattening, bending, and texturing. My durability and stability make me essential for forging, hardening, and detailing your jewelry creations.

Who I am: I’m a powered station equipped with a rotating buffing wheel, used to polish and finish jewelry pieces to a high shine.

Why I’m useful: I help you achieve a flawless, mirror-like finish on your jewelry by smoothing out scratches and imperfections.

Who I am: I’m a precise, computer-controlled milling machine that can operate along four axes, enabling the machining of complex geometries.

Why I’m useful: I allow you to create detailed, multi-sided parts that would be difficult or impossible to produce with simpler machines. My fourth axis gives you the ability to machine cylindrical objects and intricate features, making me invaluable for advanced prototyping and small-scale production.
