Made in Germany: 40LB bottom pour furnace

[Phlier]

I seriously want that pot.

[Vinne]

Where can you order one and what is the cost??

[fivegunner]

I would like more information on it , and yes if I could buy one I sure would . thanks for posting this.

[Phlier]

The guy that made the video lives in Germany, and bought it from a fellow German youTuber. So it looks like it's available for sale in Germany, but no idea if he'll send them over here.

Possibly a group buy??

I really like the pot....I bet it is expensive though....not CHINESE made!

[jeepyj]

I like very much! It will be interesting to see the price.

[bwgdog]

That looks very familiar .

You can order it with a PID for an extra charge. You can also get a nozzle for it that will pour 2 cavities at once. This is the pot that sets on top of the Master Caster.

When did Arnold get into casting?

It looks about exactly like my 40 lb. magma pot.

Thank you for that info!!

i'll vouch for the magma pot.
I know Rick, and creeker [lynn] both use it also.
you can get it with a single or double spout.
or a blank bottom spout [and strip the handle off] to use for ladle casting which is what Rick does.
I have been using mine for hand casting since the 90's.

I honestly had no clue about the magma pot. Had I known about it when I started casting I would have just bought one with the electronic temp control upgrade and called it a day. Maybe my wife will get me one for Christmas...but more than likely she'll force me to wait until retirement and get it as a retirement gift, lol.

Is it a stable pot to cast from without bolting it down?

[Phlier]

It does look to be a replica of the Magma pot. Looking at the Magma web page for that pot, they charge 200 bucks for the PID upgrade. Would be easy enough to attach your own 60 buck PID and pocket the difference.

There are a few differences between the German pot and the Magma, most notably the handle. The German pot's handle looks much more user friendly.

The guy said it held 80 Kilo's of lead, that's 175 lbs not 40. Stainless steel? I like it but it is going to be way expensive.

No, he said 18 kilos. ~40 pounds.

I'd probably pony up the extra $500 and go for the Master Caster.

[runfiverun]

they make a 90 lb pot too.
LAH started a thread showing a short video of him using his magma pot.
it was right above this thread.

That's what I did. Magma also has a 90 lb capacity pot without a spout. But I wanted a spout and the handle is easy to pull. You don't have to handle a mold except when changing them out. Many on here have automated the Master Caster. I added an air cylinder for the handle and lead pour and operate it with a toggle valve. Press forward and the lead valve opens and when the mold cavities are full, you release. Then wait for the sprue to solidify and then pull back on the toggle and the mold moves forward and the bullets are released from the mold. I'm not going to put a control board and valves on it to automate it. I just wouldn't feel safe leaving the machine to operate itself. If it was automated, I would be tempted to leave.

You can purchase the Cast Master from Magma also. It holds 90 pounds, same spout setup & only 550.00 but you will have to add your own mould guide. While operating the bullet business there were many times I'd been better served with it.
