been back out in the heat making parts for the shaper. Had plans on melting 25 pounds of Cast Iron this morning but ended up only melting about 20 pounds. oil feed messed up and I only used about a third of the oil that I had been burning for the same about of run time.
Anyway here is a couple photos of the part and what the iron looked like, nice and gray in color and able to be cut with a semi sharp hacksaw.
the part
where gate was snapped off.
bits that were spilled on top and air cooled. note thinnest and color of iron.
