Classifier screen source

[prospectordamon]

Anyone know of a place or website that sells the screen material used in the finer mesh classifiers? I got window screen which is around 18 mesh but can't find anything smaller.

You might try your local hardware store. My local store has different mesh screens, but the price may not make it worth it for you. My suggestion is to buy the keene or Jobe classifiers, they provide a good value as is.

You might try a head shop,if your town alouds it,they have all kinds of screens there or look in an issue of High Times magazine

EXCELLENT idea!! Thanks

I like to stay away from the head shops but I know what you are talking about...

The reason I'm not buying Keene or Jobe ones is due to them being too big. I'm building a gold lab in my laundry room for processing concentrates, and have small pails for each mesh.

Thanks for all the help and if anyone has anymore ideas let me have em!

what do you guys think? added to cart and it came out to $18.00 for a sheet that I could make PLENTY of classifiers with!

Careful i buy quite a bit of materail from McNichols. their price is per lineal feet not for the whole coil length. you can also try McMaster-Carr. http://www.mcmaster.com/#wire-mesh/=csatz9

What style wire you recommend for 30, 50, and 100 mesh? Also, u must be buying discs because sheets are a ton of $$$ from that site! The discs are a very fair price!

the woven wire cloth will work good. i usually buy in sq feet. not for mining but for the sheet metal business. they burned me good the first time i ordered from them.

You might try Action mining, they have a large selection sold by the square ft.

I ended up just buying a 30 and 50 mesh classifier, hard to come off that kind of cheese but in the long-run it will pay off!

I went to our local Ace Hardware ,bought a piece about 1sq. ft. for around 7 or 8 dollars. 70 mesh brass

I bought a used gold pan at a garage sale one that has a small bottom, left a 1/4'so i could attach my

my brass screen to. All in all i have around $10.00 in it. Hope this helps you out...

Used epoxy to attach screen to gold pan.
