I understand the concept around the heat sink - I just didn't realize at first that the SSR...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Yeah, there is a bigger one in that computer I have ... I'm just not sure how it's all going to fit in the box yet.

got the 45 plate today - loaded 10, ejected 10 - slick as a whistle........
