ravenlures Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Has anyone ever had a Lee Melting Pot reconditioned. They say any condition and half the price of a new one plus S & H. Wayne www.leeprecision.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yes, I have had a new bowl , spout and plunger replaced. Definitely worth the money. They did an excellent job. Mine was less than half of a new pot. They are very fair and fix it with all new parts. Tell them what is wrong and they will repair it accordingly to what is needed, and they will test it as well. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Man Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I haven't had them do it, however, I bought the parts and redid mine for just a few bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gangel Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've never looked into this, and I'm on dialup, probably take me all day... but does Lee offer options for increasing the flow out of their pots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I know of. I know there is a formula of flow rate versus cooling rate versus how much air you trap by pouring too fast. I don't know the exact formula though. Remember that lead composition, heat, and mold height have a lot to do to getting good pours and this is just a short version. Many,many more variables to take into consideration.

Guest Gangel Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Only reason I ask is because I'd like it to flow fast enough to fill a Lee Ingot mold with out strafifying the ingots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drilled my spout out a bit to increase flow for large jigs up to 8 oz... Works great but doing smaller jigs can be a pain. Now need a second pot.
