Well I have a Pro Melt that I would like to rotate the pot inside the cabinet. 90 possibly 180 degrees. Ideally 90 degrees counter clockwise would be good. The idea is to work from the side of the pot with the temp control facing out. This will rotate the spout to the far side, which means I will have to drill a new hole for the spout. I don’t like working over the top of the bottom pour mechanism to flux and add ingots.
What got me started is I was looking at the thread “Jack Stand for Casting” and dannyd’s pictured Lyman set up looks just like what I want but with the spout in back. I also ordered a jack stand today as well.
So I was going to drill out the 4 rivets, lift out the pot, drill a new spout hole, and drop back in with 4 short screws to replace the rivets.
Question is is the pot attached to anything or just nested in the coils? I’m hoping one of you guys has been inside of a pro melt before advise me.
