Greetings,
Here is my process.
I have a 20# SAECO Utility Pot. (The open top model with no Temperature Control.)
After each casting session, I pour out the remaining alloy into ingots then, after the pot cools, I clean it for the next session.
A new session begins with placing ingots in the pot and applying power until the metal is all liquid.
Once liquid, I insert my K Thermocouple that is attached to the PID temperature control box.
I decide I want to cast at 730F. I then set the Temperature Controller to 730F.
At what point do I activate the AutoTune function? When the metal is below 730F? Above? Or, does it matter?
Cheers,
Dave
