I have a Mould Master (and also an XX), and would like some info on adjusting/calibrating the thermostat.

I know there is a small screw inside of the shaft that the adjustment knob slides onto; my question is whether one should turn the screw IN or OUT to increase temp.

My Lyman XX has to be my favorite pot to use; however, it doesn't heat up the pot enough for using my MP brass molds (runs around 650ish cranked all the way up).

If I remember correctly ... turn the screw counter clockwise to get more heat. Problem is that you cannot rotate the assembly far enough clockwise .. so turn screw the other way.
