    Here is my dual PID controller. It controls my melting pot and a hot plate to pre warm my molds.

    You're gonna enjoy your new rig. Curious what you're using to mount a TC on your hotplate. What I use is an aluminum disk sitting on the hotplate and it seems to work fine but there might (probably is) a better idea out there.

    Your setup is better then what I have. I use a magnet with a t-nut so the threaded TC will stay in one spot but I can remove and reposition if needed. 1st picture is of the TC that I use.

    I use one of those threaded TC's on both that hot-plate disk and also my luber heater. Have checked them both with a surface reading TC and they're right on the mark. Use 390° F on the hot plate and the mold is up to temperature by the time the pots are. 125° F works best for the lube I use. Like the magnet idea but wouldn't work on my aluminum.
