    Ready made PID

    Does anyone make an off the shelf PID that I can just plug in my pot and thermocouple and be up and running?

    The temp control on my Lee pot went belly up and instead of repairing it I want a PID but I don't want to build one. I would like one that plugs into the wall, has a place to plug in my pot and a jack for my thermocouple. It should have a temp display preferably it would display temperature and set point with an adjustment for the set point.

    I removed the thermostat on the pot and just wired it directly, it melts lead but has no temp control. I would be happy if the unit is capable of much more power than the Lee pot will draw as I have visions of other applications for the PID, also why I don't want the thermocouple being hardwired.

    If there is no off the shelf item would someone build one for me?

    Member Hatch. Other members have bought them and seem to be happy. He's always available for help whether he built it or not. I built my own.

    Contact HATCH. I am very satisfied with the PID I got from him.
