Description

Lead exposure can cause permanent brain damage in children and unborn fetuses. Avoid working with lead if you’re pregnant or nursing. Pour a fine stream of lead directly into the cavity gate. Do not flood the sprue or fail to pour directly into the gate.

There’s a four lb cast iron pot that requires five hundred watts of electricity. If we talk about the whole dimension, it is three inches by four inches. Also, it comes with a three-foot cord for better performance and voltage holding. You can have metals that have melting points below 620 F or 320C. Use a chisel or flat-head screwdriver to scrape off any molten lead that spilled and hardened on the floor of your workspace. Some electric units will not heat lead to maximum temperature when completely full. Try with only 1/2 full. Always read the manual attached to a pot, even if you are an expert or have no knowledge. Pots are different and need different carrying techniques. So, don’t throw the manual away and learn about every part of using the pot ideally. Know your material before you jump to melt.

Another furnace to look out for is the Rcbs lead melting pot. Now it might not be as up to Lee Precision 90949 Magnum Melter, but it does an excellent job of mixing. Let’s look into its features more to understand its best qualities below. Make sure the door to the workspace is wide open, and also open window if possible to create an atmosphere-purging through-draft. If possible set up an old vent-axia extractor to take the fumes away from the working area. In addition to wearing suitable clothing that covers your arms and legs always wear protective glasses when working with lead. Also, never eat or drink when handling lead, and always wash your hands thoroughly. Basic equipment Firstly, the capacity of a lead melting pot is a thing to consider. Industrial casting and regular home pots are different in measurement. These are mainly for other quantities; additionally, if you make your ammunition, then 7 to 9 lbs should do. But for recycling, you can go for 5 kg at max. However, if users need bulk melting, then Cast Master Lead Melting Furnace GG 5000 is a good option. Almost every pot we reviewed here has a high capacity from 4 to 11 lbs.

Please note that your goods may be sent to you in instalments as availability of products can vary. For example certain products have specific delivery requirements which are explained below. If for some reason parcels are required to be redirected then an additional charge might be levied (where applicable). Also if goods are refused or not called for a charge might also be incurred. This list is not a full and exhaustive list and other reasons may apply. With everything in place it’s time to make some fishing weights. First fill your caldron with dry lead and light the gas. After about 15 minutes the lead will start to melt. If required, add more dry lead to the molten lead in the pot. It is essential that the additional lead is completely dry because any moisture will make the molten lead rumble and spit at best, and explode all over you at worst. This is a very serious business so be warned. Breathing in lead dust can be harmful. Wear your respirator and goggles while cleaning your workplace and tools. Typically, lead is smelted in a furnace. If you are using different processes and heat, lead is processed and melted. Layers of smelter make it got through.

Get some scrap lead, and the cleaner the better. A friendly plumber or scrap yard are the best sources for sheet lead, which is safer and cleaner to use than piping. A cast iron cauldron is best for melting lead in, although an aluminium saucepan will suffice. Car boot sales can turn up some excellent inexpensive melting pots. Electric crucibles are also available to melt the lead, but the ones with the pouring spouts are not recommended for casting anything larger than 1oz. If you do not wish to do this, or your manual does not have the nescessary data for your needs, you can visit our Reloading Data Section for manufacturer advice.

Preserve energy and stop waste by switching to GG 5K. Save up the waste of your metal project by using its insulated lid. It has a max capacity of 2700°F and also includes an ingot tray. Pros The six lead melting pots we mentioned here are best by their qualities. But as for our opinion, Lee Lead Melting Pot 90949 and Cast Master Lead Melting Furnace GG 5000m stands out among the rest. When casting larger leads for boat fishing the mould may become too hot after a dozen or so pours, causing the temporary gaping along the seems and the lead to spill straight through the edges. When this happens, let the mould cool in the air. Don’t be tempted to use water to cool the mould or the leads. Indeed, there are multiple ways to buy a lead melter on the store and the internet. Despite everything, there are some tips to remember before your rush to buy one, especially the right one. Times have changed, and technology has updated, and so did the melting pot. Traditionally to use bullet casting pots, users need to put a burn or any kind of heater to heat the metal. Natural fire can be effective, but it can be harmful as you can’t control the temperature. Instead, the lead will become unusable, ultimately wasting energy. Using a burner or electric mixer is more of a sustainable choice. Lee Lead Melting Pot 90949 is an excellent traditional pot where Do-It Molds Electric Lead Melting Pot 2 is a tough competitor. Electric mixing pots are controllable, but you’ll always need a power circuit to run them.

We always recommend purchasing a reloading manual so that the data is consistant, accurate, and always to hand. Our 220V melting pots do not ship with a plug on the electric cord. Every country has a unique plug, so you will be responsible for purchasing and attaching a plug.
