Anyone on CB still making a Reasonably priced PID controller for a lead pot? Or, a decent commercial product out there? Gotta be a market for them, eh? Did a quick search and didn’t find anything truly relevant.
Thx. Jim

I am surprised LEE Precision hasn’t brought to market a plug-n-play PID box.
Plug your LEE furnace into the box, plug the box into hydro. Set temp on box and drop in thermocouple probe when the lead is liquid enough to take it. The PID controller keeps the pot temp stable, while the pot keeps dripping.
