Well, I've mentored a couple buddies in boolit casting, and in the process have sold/given away both of my melting pots. I toyed with the idea of making a pot, but the time and effort as well as expense for elements and thermostats, make buying a pot most worthwhile. I have a 100-lb pot mounted on my Ballisti-Cast machine, which runs on 220v and melts relatively quickly (probably a little faster than my 110v Lyman 20-lb pot).
I plan on getting the 90-lb Magma pot, unless someone has a better idea for a pot that I haven't heard of. (I need a big pot, as my casting sessions are usually long and with 6-cav or more moulds. I can go through lead in a hurry!)
My question is this: Will those folks with the 90-lb Magma pot tell me your usual wait times for the melt to get up to temperature? I'm looking for that info for both the 110v and 220v version to make a comparison...
Thanks :castmine:
