been reading all I can here and kept wondering why everyone keeps quoting 700 to 730 casting temps for NOE molds. Mine seemed to work very well at the indicated 650 on my Rotometals purchased casting thermometer so I just kept my mouth shut ..
well yesterday I received my Frozone PID plugged it in and started the pot .. set the temp to 650 and let it heat up .. for giggles after it reached temp I dropped the old thermometer in the indicated 650 degree lead.. My word the old thermometer reads 580 degrees
THE question I never asked was answered... I was casting at 720 all along :) :)
made a sticker for the old thermometer +70 degrees
