FAQs - Technical Features and Usage

I am passionate about oriental swords and would like to work on long blades. What is the maximum length possible with your forges?

The SR3 model, specifically designed for making blades and Damascus steel, has a combustion chamber 42 cm long, but with two opening inlets, it allows for working on blades of various sizes.

I would like to know if your forges, in addition to LPG, can also be powered by methane?

We build two ranges of forges, the professional ones, FMX – FMY – FMZ, which can be powered by either methane or LPG; the hobbyist models, SR2 – SR3 – SR4, are supplied only with LPG fueling.

With the SR2 and SR4 models, what are the maximum dimensions of the bars I can heat?

We can heat square bars up to 50 mm; if we extend the heating times, we can also accommodate round bars up to 70 mm.

What are the minimum recommended dimensions of a closed space to avoid ventilation issues? Is it necessary to open the windows?

By regulation, the workspace must be well-ventilated. Therefore, if you use one of our SR forges, for example, in a garage, we strongly recommend keeping the windows open.

I would like to know if the refractory bricks have a lifespan and, in general, if there are specific times for maintenance checks on your forges.

All the bases of our forges are made of refractory material. If handled with care, there are no particular needs. We recommend an annual routine maintenance check, especially to verify the proper functioning of the burners and the gas system.
