CHIP REFUSED at Scrap Yard

Grab a devils forge and melt your chips down into cast aluminum ingots. I bet the scrap yard takes it then.

I would imagine youā€™d lose money doing this.

Possibly and at the very least youā€™d have nice stacks of cast ingots laying around. I got a box full of them from old parts at work.

Editted to add.

You could also sell the ingots in eBay, thereā€™s a guy selling 1lb ers for 5 bucks a pop. Thereā€™s a market for everything and I think $5 is more than what a pound of aluminum scrap sells for.

I have quite a pile of HVAC refrigeration line ends that I want to eventually make a bunch of cost copper things out of.

Iā€™ve got a few other things on my wish list but an induction furnace is one of them.

An induction furnace would be awesome. I always wanted to have a copper or brass ar15 upper and lower combo buffed to a shine. I loved melting a few years ago but life gets in the way and when youā€™re feeding and pouring for hours the weekend slips by :frowning:
