Waage pot

[doghawg]

Just got mine from the brown truck today and while it's way too hot to think about casting I'm very impressed with the way this critter is made. I'm also impressed with the little sticker on the bottom of the box.....it's made on this side of the globe. :):

I assume the reason for 4 pots is to keep each one stoked with a different alloy? I'm glad to read that you have a high enough opinion of Waage to own that many!

[220swiftfn]

Maybe he doesn't like down-time........ Altho different alloys make sense too....
Doghawg- I know how you feel, I HAVE to render ww's before the rain hits, and it's supposed to be in the 90's...... oh well.....

I have two. Both are wax injection pots. Injecting rubber molds for jewelry purposes. Didn't know they still made lead pots. The Waage pots I've seen have been ancient. Still working though!!

That's some serious lead flippin'!!!

One of the best buys in the casting world. A good ladle and some alloy knowledge and you can pour some of the best bullets to send down range.

[GLL]

I am actually very lazy ! :)

Each pot is for a different alloy which I mix up in larger very heavy fabricated steel "pots" 100 pounds at a time. Each alloy is cast into 5 pound ingots. These are kept heated on a heavy duty hot plate and added to the Waage pot as needed. The K-4757 has no trouble bringing the alloy back up to casting temp in short order !

Anyone interested in these pots should contact Marsha at Waage and ask for this item by number. It is designed for bullet casters and is not a cataloged item for the company ! They make them up special order but it only takes a few days. GREAT people to deal with ! :)

The lead pot used to not be on the website, I had to send an e mail and ask about it. Mine arrived sooner than they told me it would.

[XIT]

That's great you got it quickly but how much did you pay for it?

You probably should call or e mail for a current price.

[rollmyown]

Do they make a 220V version?

[Southern Son]

I was wondering the same thing, rollmyown (along with How much for the 220volt and roughly how much to ship down under). I want to get a Magma 40lb bottom pour for my multi cavity moulds (all for boolits weighing less that 300 grains), but I will always have to ladle pour for my 45/70 boolits and I think that the big open top on one of them Waage pots would be better for that.

[PacMan]

Not completly sure but i think that Buffalo Arms sell them.Does not say so in their picture but a phone call would verify it. Any way i beleive the cost of the pot they carry was 189.00 or there abouts.

I'd like a 50-60 pounder, but resist paying more than I did for my first OM 70...

I've had mine for two years now. Previously I would do all my casting from a propane fired plumbers pot...read.. LOUD. The flick a switch and it's ready to go ELECTRIC has been wonderful.

No doubt about it...I have probably cast more bullets with the easy to get going WAAGE in two years...than I cast with the plumbers pot in 6-8 years. In the past I tended to cast only when I was totally OUT of everything...it wasn't a lot of fun.

Heck of a product... made and supported in the USA.

My WAAGE 100 lb pot is every bit as good as it was when I bought it back in the mid 70's... Today I can say "Money was well spent on this great piece of equipment"... It will probably be giving someone good service long after I'm no longer here anymore.

[cajun shooter]

The last one I purchased direct was about $145. While Buffalo Arms is a great company you will be better buying direct.

[PacMan]

Well i called the plant to get the updated price.I asked for Marcy but the gentleman on the phone said she was out with medical problems.
I asked him for the price and he told me that they were 247.00 plus shiping. I assume he knew what he was talking about.

[M-Tecs]

In Oct of 10 they were $147.00. I ordered two and they dropped it to $140.00 each.

[PacMan]

I stand corrected on my earlier post about the price of the K-4757. Called today and the price is $162.00 + $18.00 shipping.
Not sure about previous price that i was given.Maybe a diffrent pot?
They currently have several in stock.Ordered my today.

When I got mine 3 years ago - they only made them to order - none on the shelf. Good pot, but I fixed my Lyman 20 and am back to using it. comes up to temp faster.

I do have some 40-1 in my WAAGE for some nasty HP 38's I cast.

[Old Caster]

I have a 20 lb or maybe it is 22 lb. Waage pot that I bought about 8 years ago and it still works great. The most impressive thing about it is that the temperature of the melt just stays the same forever. I use it besides my RCBS to keep it filled as I make bullets. I just dip in molten metal as I need it and then put ingots back in the Waage. I rarely shoot big bullets anymore but when I did, I used the Waage for ladle casting. It's too bad that they have never designed a bottom pour because it would be quality.

[Hornman120]

I ordered mine today. Marc Waage answered the phone and took the order. It was $162 + $25 Shipping. He said it would take a couple of weeks to assemble one. They had sold the last inventory item last week.

[max it]

Hey Guys,

I dont get it. I have two Lee pots. I use the 20# bottom pour. They heat as much as I can use at a time. Cost must be around $75. now adays. What advantage are these?

much obliged,
max

[cajun shooter]

Max it, Let me say that for one thing the Wagge is a 10 times better built pot.
Once you have bused your Lee for any amount of time you will begin to see all the flaws it has.
It is controlled by a rheostat and not a true thermostat like the Wagge. You also can't compare a ladle type pot to a bottom pour as they are no where alike in any manner of use.
Do a search on the Lee 20pound pot and then do a search on the Wagge. You will find nothing but positive about the Wagge and nothing but night mares about the Lee.

I purchased a few Lees back about 3 years ago and it made my casting nothing but a huge problem. So much so that when the last of three spilled an entire pot of Hot Lead all over my casting bench and me that I had enough.
I use nothing but my RCBS Pro Melt and my Wagge now and casting has once again become the fun hobby that it is.
The main factor that people purchase Lee is the price and at 64 I should have known better. Price is the worst reason to purchase anything.
It's like the old Fram commercials that said "YOU CAN PAY ME NOW OR YOU CAN PAY ME LATER" . A very true statement when it comes to buying a product.
I have purchased many a cheap tool made in several third World countries from Harbour Freight to save money. Each and every one gives me a few uses before breaking or not working.
The tools from Sears don't do that and if you do have a problem you will have customer service.
I wish you well with your casting. Later David
