Lee Precision 90009 Production Pot IV 20lb Lead Melting Furnace

The Lee Precision Production Pot IV delivers consistent lead melting performance for high-volume bullet casting operations. This 20-pound capacity electric furnace maintains precise temperature control for professional and serious amateur reloaders who demand reliable molten lead flow.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic melting pots that struggle with temperature consistency, the Production Pot IV features a bottom-pour spout design that eliminates dross contamination and reduces lead waste. The infinite heat control maintains optimal pouring temperature across extended casting sessions. Cast iron construction provides superior heat retention compared to aluminum alternatives, ensuring stable temperatures even during rapid casting cycles.

Key Features

• 20-pound lead capacity handles extended casting sessions without frequent refills
• Bottom-pour spout with precise valve control eliminates dross and impurities
• Infinite heat control dial maintains consistent temperature from 500°F to 900°F
• Cast iron construction provides superior heat distribution and retention
• Removable spout for easy cleaning and maintenance
• Heavy-duty heating element rated for continuous operation
• Stable base design prevents tipping during use

The Production Pot IV excels in commercial reloading operations and serious hobbyist workshops where consistent bullet production is essential. Temperature stability remains within ±10°F during normal operation, ensuring uniform bullet hardness and weight consistency. The bottom-pour design eliminates the need for ladles, reducing lead exposure and improving casting speed for production runs exceeding 500 bullets per session.
