    I think this thread http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...g-edge-failure and all those threads on the RPM threshold should go in there too.

    I definitely agree about the second two links. They are pivotal benchmarks to the lowRPM method.
    The first one kind of falls under general "you better pay attention to this" information for casters of all disciplines. My thread titled "consistency applied" falls into that category as well.

    Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.

    Dumb question so please forgive me as I'm still a newbie at casting.

    Has anyone compiled data on the various powder coats and logged various effects on the RPM Threshold values regarding lead alloy, speed and accuracy?

    Thanks.

    not really.
    there is one pretty good thread in the powder coat section dealing with the higher velocity's and powder coating.
    nobody has really been able to apply powder coat in an even enough method for anybody going fast to even bother taking notice.
    they are watching they just don't see any advantage.,,,,,, yet.
