Antique Centrifugal Dental Casting Machine [Restoration]
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This restoration is on a 1930s dental casting machine made by the Torit Manufacturing Co. of St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. I was unable to find a photo of this model with the exact same base design, but similar designs exist. This machine would most likely be used for casting gold teeth and fillings.
The base was extremely rusty, but all other parts are made of aluminum or brass, so they held together much better over the years. I decided to use babbitt as a casting metal since it melts at such a low temperature and isn't very expensive. This was my first time casting any metal on my own and learning the process was a lot of fun.
It's nice to see this tool back in service and spinning molten metal very close to your face at high speed.

I saw it as well and was not sure if it was "Hand Tool Rescue" that put it there or if it was some sort of hacker thing. I saw similar but nonsensical flashes in another channel and it has been bothering me ever since. I'm guessing since "Hand Tool Rescue" liked your comment it was intentional at least on this channel. I don't like this because it detract from the content by making me single step through the video to figure out what was shown.
Single frame "scale 1:5 of the big brother" at 23:19 really helped

My dad had one of these in his dental lab when i was a kid. I would play with it. These tools are amazing even to this day.

Always excited about your encounter with the sand blasting cabinet, seems like a complex relationship.

This tool seems like it could quickly transform from a centrifugal casting machine into a molten metal sprinkler. You could therefore advertise it as a multi tool!

My high school had one of these in the jewellery class, but bigger and horizontal. One kid didn't put enough plaster in the mold, so the bottom gave out as it spun and threw molten silver into the wall, which then sprayed me. Didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected, but I was still quite annoyed.
@xlerb2286

That happened in a jewelry class in college. One kid had the their mold blow out during casting. This was on a more modern horizontal machine and it had a big metal shield around it so nobody was hurt. Turned out they'd dropped the mold taking it out of the burnout oven. It looked ok so they didn't say anything. But investment is fragile and easily damaged once its burnt out. I've used a hand sling centrifuge that a buddy got at a dentist's estate sale but I've never seen a vertical casting machine like this before. I agree it could easily become a metal sprinkler in the wrong hands :)
I really appreciate you demonstrating how the tools you restore would have been used because I was completely clueless until you showed it in action.
Excellent, as usual. I couldn't believe the off-center hole in that beautiful part you were making until you revealed that it was just a counter- weight, and it would never matter or be noticed. You always get it right. Well done.
This guy rescued that hand tool!!!
Hey cool! I've used bigger versions of this exact unit before. They were horizontal rather than vertical. Definitely used for Dental work, or small jewelers work such as rings.

I will share with my grandchildren that I saw the most accurate hole drilled OF ALL TIME!
This seems to me to be the early type of semi-automatic vertical slingshot. Before that, dental gold was thrown into the mold with a simple hand slingshot. After that there were fully automatic motor slingshots and then the vacuum pressure-cast slingshot. It's interesting to see such a beautiful old piece. I have worked with all of these possibilities.
I never watched an entire hand tool rescue video, I allways fall asleep ten minutes in because it's so satisfying and calming
This channel has THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST intro & theme song. Takes me right back to the 80s
I work in the dental industry and I have seen these packed away in cupboards of old labs and dental offices. But many times the crucible is missing or cracked. You have one that isn't. Fortunate for you.
Fantastic video and explanation through the moulding processes. Thank you!
That was a very nice Tyler Darden-esque frame insertion @ 23:19 . Kudos. There will always be only one true rescue/ restoration channel.

I love the way brass looks - ideal material & In ’74, I spent a summer at Haystack Scool of Crafts on Deer Isle in Maine. One tangential class had the instructor a week late due to a cold, so they had a Swiss silver smith fly in for a week. Everyone in that class was moaning until he showed up. He was an expert at gravity casting silver and gold. No one had even heard of this before. Imagine wooden handle with hand forged chain links to a crucible at it's end, that held the negative mold. One person holds the handle and swings it around as if it was a clock handle (in front of the person) after another person places silver in mold and then melts it with a torch then yells go. Huge excitement and cheering ensued, but from a distance, as sometimes the silver flew out. Everyone there learned this technique & made their own handle and chain, which worked well and guess what, they all moaned when he left. End of story was that the original teacher showed up a week late, who everyone signed up for originally, and they loved that class twice as much. They all moaned when it ended. They were known as the moaners.
I'm starting to think the next restoration needs to be a lathe. Probably one just slightly beefier than this one... Amazing work on this spin cast tool!

Sweet resto! I love casting equipment! This antique rig is awesome! Nice lil wrench ya made! It'll make a nice charm or pendant! Maybe even convert it to a tooth pick!

That machine and part you made both came out looking great…..you do some really nice work 👍 A lot of knowledge has to be known to be able to accomplish what you did🙂👌
In the early part of the 20th century painting brass medical equipment was done fro ease of cleaning. Brass may be a beautiful metal, but it is not a good choice for a clean/sterile environment.

Oooh. The new, more intimate Hand Tool Rescue!
I have used similar broken arm casting machines but mounted in a tub and horizontal spinning. Much safer from flying metal LOL. I trained as a dental tech and spent 44 years as a denturist. Brings back many fond memories. Casting dental gold when gold was 35 dollars an ounce was one thing but today at crazy gold costs let alone dental gold with platinum and palladium would be astronomically expensive. We would line the old crucibles with asbestos paper to stop other impurities from precious metal in the crucible from contaminating the cast. Shows you how long ago that was. You could buy asbestos paper. LOL As students we would make side money casting jewelry in sterling silver.
Awesome work as always! 👍 The image of the 'my mechanics' wrench at 23:19 nearly killed me. 🤣🤣🤣 Now 'clickspring' has to enter the challenge. 😂
The immense pleasure of tonguing your own equipment!
