Is this Pot too Small?

[razorfish]

Do you think this portable handheld Electric Melting pot is just too small?

(I have no idea what this thing is... I think it has something to do with golf. It’s interesting the things people give you when they know you cast boolits.)

Is it bottom pour? If so, it's a bit on the small side🤣

May have been from the jewelry trade for melting precious metals to cast into jewelry. Broaches, earings, pins, clasps, don't take a lot of material and melting large amounts of gold, silver, is a big expense. This is more plausible to me than others.

Looks like a long day of casting with that

[razorfish]

The person that gave it to me said it was inside a box labeled “Kenneth Smith Golf” along with other golf related items.

Do golfers cast tiny boolits? :)

I wonder if you could melt gold with it ??? D Crockett

I’m not sure... send me some gold and I’ll give it a try. :)

you've got my curiosity up on this. Do you have something with a known (relatively high) melt temp like antimony that you could drop in it?

No antimony. Nothing but the usual tin and lead.

[country gent]

A zinc wheel weights melt point is in the upper range. It might give an idea of the temp this operates at. Or a small piece of something die cast.

never seem one, hope someone knows

What is the bowl made out of? If it is aluminum (melting point 1200°F), then it's not for gold and silver jewelry. If it is steel, then it will handle much higher temps.

The fishing jigs that I have seen poured used about the same size ladle we would use for boolits.

I too, am curious to know what it was for.

Ah, good point. It’s not attracted to a magnet and it’s pretty light. I’m going to say it’s cast aluminum.

Do drivers have various weights? I dunno, I don't play golf...

I’m not a golfer but According to my extensive sixty seconds of Google research, they sell lead tape, lead powder and other weights for golf clubs but I don’t see anything relating to pouring lead into a club.

[Boogedy_Man]

I have a very large soldering iron that looks very much like that, except mine has a giant chisel tip.

Mine gets incredibly hot. Like the whole thing will glow red in broad daylight if you're not paying attention.

[Walter Laich]

think the golf pros can drill and pour weight into the head of clubs to fine tune them to the golfer's requirements.

like tweaking a gun stock to fit the shooter perfectly

[lightman]

It would be interesting to find out what it was made for. It looks to be too small to cast with.

[Echo]

Too small for What?

[Retumbo]

Golf...adding weight to wooden clubs
