Mould Temperature #2
Posted: 29 Aug 2023 15:08
So far I' haven't figured out how, if indeed it's possible, to add a photo plus comments as a reply to a post or not.
With a lot of experimenting with moulds, stem TC's, PIDS and a VOM. all of the few moulds I have responded well to a mould temperature of about 430° F. So present method is I don't use the little shelves I added to the pots years back as my recollection was I never more than 358° readings on of the shelf itself. I run the hotplate at 440°and can rest the mould for a break and it'll still be right where I want it when I get back.
Pots are set at 365° C and the feeder on at 366° and cast pot doesn't drop any while refilling it.
FWIW (probably not much!)
Guess another topic won't hurt anything though.With a lot of experimenting with moulds, stem TC's, PIDS and a VOM. all of the few moulds I have responded well to a mould temperature of about 430° F.
