Aluminum casting wanted

Dec 16, 2003 9 Replies

What I am looking for is someone that can sand cast 3 small aluminum parts about the size and complexity of a cast VW valve cover. I intend to set up my own small foundry some day but right now I just don't have the time and if I can find someone to do the casting for a reasonable cost I'll just have it done. I'm thinking 3 or 4 sets should get me started. 12 pieces total.



I'll have the patterns finished in a couple of days (I hope) and all that will be left to do is ram some sand, cut a sprue and poor.......



So if you have a hobby scale casting set up and want a bit of income producing work or just know of a foundry that does small jobs like this for a reasonable fee please E-mail me and let me know.


You could contact Mystic River Foundry in Mystic CT. They specialize in small order work and are excellent folks to deal with.

expressed are those of my wifes, I had no input whatsoever. Remove "nospam" from email addy.

Rocky mountains - Wyoming. But the parts are small and shipping via UPS won't be a problem......At least after the first week in January when things start to get back to normal. =========================

Hi, You might call Am-Cor Aluminum Foundry (262)-279-6510 I don't know what their minimum order is, but they have been very good to deal with and they do relatively small orders (UPS size orders) for us all the time. Good luck, David

I got a "server not found" error when I tried your web address.

Same here. It exists, but is locked for unknown reasons. I didn't know there was anyplace like that around here.

There's one in Boring, OR, too. AFAIK it's more industrialish, but then, I know of them through a customer that has them make castings for antique car parts.

Lots of hits on Google
