I got this nifty new heater base, made by Sweetpea (he makes em on another forum) and he drilled it for my Star and my two Lymans.
And I found this handy heater cartridge on Fleabay (100W) that is same size as hole he put in there.
And I think it's gonna be just great!
Now I just epoxy this thermocouple to the base with a glob of JB-Weld and my PID will keep this base within 1 degree of whatever temp I find works best with the lube I'm using that day.
(and no, the coated ones aren't going through the sizer.... they're just on the table because I was installing plain base checks on some of em when I got the base and heater cartridge in the mail today and I stopped to play with that before clearing off the table!)
