Lead Furnace

[Hal]

I didn't buy a new one and convert it. I converted two old worn out ones that I couldn't seem to keep from leaking. I do like to use a bottom pour on smaller bullets. They are fine for .30 cal bullets, but .50 cal and up, I only ladle pour.

Back in 1992 I purchased a 20 pound Lyman lead pot.

Well, around 2006 or 2007, several of the heating elements had burned out, so I shipped the lead pot back to Lyman asking them to repair it. Two weeks later, UPS brings a box by from Lyman and the lead pot is 100% repaired "just as good as new." THERE WAS NO CHARGE FROM LYMAN FOR THIS SERVICE AS THE POT WAS REPAIRED 'UNDER WARRANTY.'

Then somewhere around 2016 the Lyman lead pot again had problems with burned out heating elements. I again shipped the pot back to Lyman AND THEY AGAIN REPAIRED THE POT AT "NO CHARGE" UNDER WARRANTY.

So, I am still using the Lyman lead pot I purchased 26 years ago and I AM VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH LYMAN'S CUSTOMER CARE AND WARRANTY POLICIES.

I can’t say enough good things about Lyman. My 20# pot burned out after approximately 25-30 yrs. called Lyman for replacement element. The replacement element was no longer available for that old a pot But I could send it back for a trade in on a new 25# pot with digital thermostat. Called back for address to send back and was told oh not to bother. New pot was discounted to a very good price. Can’t remember the price but it was a no brainer.

Hopefully Im not too late...

Buffalo Arms sells a GREAL heavy duty dipper furnace.

Got mine three years ago and it’s by far the best I’ve ever had/used.
