So, I picked up a solution looking for a problem. This is a small molten salt furnace that was used somehow in glass lens manufacturing. Manufacturer is Kirk Manufacturing, Freeport NY. Model MINI-20M.
The melting point of sodium chloride is 1474 degrees F. So- how would this be useful for a machinist? Is that a useful temperature? The chamber is about 3" x 3" and I don't know how deep- probably not very. It is full of hardened salt- and I've not fired it up yet.
