I started to melt some Cast Iron today
#19
here is a photo that I have circled the two spots that are while you should be able to see the difference in the grain of the iron I broke this off the end of the runner before putting the casting back in the furnace to soak. some times that will soften the hard spots so you can machine them.

you will notice in the middle of the piece that its nice and gray which is an indication that it will cut like most CI does which normally is soft as butter.
