my new electric lead pot
« on: March 10, 2013, 10:19:18 AM »
Been working on my new pot. Few more parts and a little welding.  Hopefully finish it in a couple weeks. Should hold a little more lead than my 20 pounder

Bigger sounds better.  It gets crowded in there with the ladle, thermometer and mold I am trying to heat up.  Just don't drop your mold in there and you can't get it out.  Looks great though.  Nice work!  8)

Study after study has shown how dangerous distracted driving is yet people continue to talk on their cell phones while driving. Driving in the U.S. requires your full attention. Many states and countries have made it illegal to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle and the federal government should follow their lead. Banning the use of cell phones while driving would have the added benefit of making the no-texting law enforceable.

Looks like it's just the right size to keep up with my 45 and 44  4 cavity molds. My Lee drip-o-matic can't keep up when I'm casting with both  of them. How many watts? Are you going to insulate it? Making any for sale?

Looks like that should work :D   I always run 2 pots when casting.  An RCBS which is a night and day difference over the lyman and a back up 20lb lyman pot.  The RCBS is so much faster to cast with than the lyman!  I dip lead from the lyman into the RCBS pot to keep it full and I never have to slow down or take a break until I'm ready to quit.


Good luck with the new pot!
