It seems the diagram above does not have the same pin out as the controller you are using. 6-7 for the thermocouple and 9-10 for the SSR.
You will need to set the input to the correct thermocouple...

Lots of good advice here. My addition is the bottom of the sizing stroke should not be the same as the lube pump bottoming out. When the lube reservoir is full, the pump should "bounce" a little as...

Try this.
Make sure you controller input is set to type K, then set the offset to 0. Place a copper wire across the input terminals.
This should read room temperature, or as close as the...

I do not think it has an offset...

I am glad I am not the only one. This morning was wedding dresses and cake wars... I am 45 pounds of 9mm richer due to it.
I could not find what I wanted, so I made my own. Para P12 with a 4 1/4 barrel. Lots of good parts, time and file work made a very nice carry piece.

The one thing I do different than you is water drop. I use Autocomp which is next to HS6 on the burn rate chart and Rooster Zambini lube. I have a glock 34 with the factory barrel and I have minimal...

I did the thunk test. The thin bars sound exactly like the 50-50 bars I have that are the same size and shape but are marked 50-50. The Roth ingot had a little higher pitch than the National ingot,...

My casting buddy got his hands on some odd ingots and I would like to find out what they are before they get used as pure lead.
The strips have just an "A" on them with no other markings. They do...

My favorite. Made in the USA with leather made in Chicago. Do a search, I found them for under $120..

Our backs are fine. Emptying the pot does not take long with a ten pound ladle and two people.
I wish I had more suppliers of lead. The wheel weights have dried up and the local club is a once a...

My casting buddy and I melted the last of our accumulated yearly take today and I thought I should share. This session we melted the last of the wheel weights we have. (Thanks New York) The total was...

I plan on ordering these this week.

BTW, not all Redwings are made over seas.
I use 4.4 grains with a 228 TCBB. Nice and slow for competition use, around 720 FPS.
<--- In that gun. 4 1/4 barrel.

My buddy and I melt a lot of range scrap from a similar style range. We made a shaker type system to remove all the sand we can first, then it is all about mixing. The pot holds about 220 lbs when...

Here is a post I did in 2007 about the RCBS thermostat.

I went to PID control pretty quickly after starting this hobby.

Here is one I found after a match. 45ACP brass does last a long time, for sure.

Phase control SSRs are pretty expensive. My limited experience is they work pretty well when you are heating something and do not want to scorch the medium around the heating element.

I size, deprime and clean in large batches as a separate function. I use lanolin as case lube and I like to have lube-less cases on the finished product.

I mounted a small RTD just behind the sizing die. There is a small section of flat area that I placed the RTD with a dab of RTV.

You are way over max for lead boolits.
