I’m falling behind in my casting and I’m pondering adding automation. I see that there are a few options, and also some who have automated semi automatic magma units. I’m curious what the best unit is and why, who in this game is “the Dillon” lol.

Looks like a nice unit. How closely do these units need to be monitored, can one load them up and walk away for a few hours? Overnight? Do any of them return their sprues to their own melts?
Also, it looks like most use two cav molds, is there a reason for this? Have any used higher cav count molds? Is it easy to use a hand casting mold in a machine? With some welding on the sprue plate possibly?
