Shelled out $600 on a fancy induction furnace add-on for small steel pours and it's collecting dust now.
It looked good on paper for precise temp control but the thing keeps throwing error codes and I'm back to my old gas setup. Anybody else blow cash on a gadget that just didn't work out?

Precise temp control" ha yeah mine promised that too. Now it just gives me error code 47 every time I try to get above 2000 degrees and I gotta Google it like I'm some IT guy. I feel your pain man, I dropped $400 on a digital scale that was supposed to be waterproof and it died the first time some slag splashed near it. Guess we're both back to the old gear that actually works. Nothing quite like spending good money on a problem you didn't have before.

Isn't it funny how the "upgrades" just end up being fancy paperweights more often than not? That's exactly why I keep my old analog kiln going even though it's ugly and I have to babysit it. You pay a premium for something that's supposed to be better but all you get is a new set of headaches.

Yeah @abbyp61, so how much did that "upgrade" actually end up costing you in the long run?
