Lee Precision Electric Metal Melter Pro 4 - 20 LB

Work good. Takes a while to melt. Seems a little soft of the structure but I can make it better here and there. No leaks, just adjust it right. Read the instructions. Best value.

I am using this to make a literal ton of lead sinkers. Works great once you learn to work with the spigot. Need to have a metal pick available to keep it clear of debris. Love it.Update after a couple months of use. Still great, spigot will eventually clog and can’t be cleared with pick. Need to empty pot of lead and remove spigot plunger and use drill with slightly larger diameter and drill through spigot hole. Works better than ever. I now have three and will order another for backup.

Typical Lee Precision product quality! This is my second pot I’ve purchased my first one has been in use for over two years without any issues, this one is for a second casting station I am putting together for a specific project.

I use this for lead free pewter, and it is great. Dross comes to the top, and clean pewter flows out the bottom. I reload, but don't cast. After using this melter, I can see it would be great for casting hundreds of rounds at a time. If I ever get the urge to cast, I'll buy a second one of these without hesitation. That way I don't contaminate my lead free pewter, and don't have to worry about adjusting heat or flow levels between materials.Also, I'm considering removing the base and mounting it to allow for larger molds to be used.If you are on the fence between this and a cheaper option, go for this. It really does a great job and allows for greater control of pouring metal than a ladle.

Great product! Works as it should.

This unit is exceptionally good for my lead casting needs. It is easy for the heating elements to get a bit hotter than I’d like but this is easily combated by using a thermometer. The mold guide plate leaves a lot to be desired so I flipped mine upside down to give the mold more of a shelf to rest on as I cast. I would recommend this as an affordable bottom pour furnace to anybody into casting lead.

Heats pretty fast and is easy to set up. Was casting 500 grain slugs in no time with the Lee 575 Minnie single cavity mold which also is a winner in my opinion.

Big improvement over smaller older model I had for thirty years. Should have upgraded years ago. Now I’m too old to get another thirty years out of this one
