I have read just about all the stickies and most everything posted in the last few months on this forum.
I had no mentor or internet when I started casting and reloading and missed a lot of clues of fine tuning the art for sure. So many time I read others questions and think about it and know that . I have been there and done that. I just never made a verbal thought about it.
I did not know that a PID temperature could be bought for than some hundreds of $$$.
Thanks to the inmeasurable wealth of shared resourses in this forum , so many things that I knew but had not put to a cognizant thought have cleared up.
This 16/4 controller that I got for 44 bucks along with a $11.95 6" probe from Auber Instruments is worth every penny.
This thing is way COOL!!! It actually learns how to operate my lead pot and keep the temperature right on the money. It learns just when to shut off when I add ingots and when its just a normal warm up cycle.
These are simple to wire up too.
I guess this my first big WAHOO!! for posting on this forum my first new thread.
Now, everyone go out and buy a pid controller.. just joking......
