It doesn't get the wax hot enough for cabbing, according to my findings.
Selected User Reviews For Dental Lab Analog Wax Pot BRAND NEW
I use the main basin for wax and stack my cabs in the two smaller basins to pre-melt the dop wax. Before dopping, preheat them. The large basin has enough wax in it to last for about a year. 10- Without filling it to the brim, 12 dops The pot includes an on/off switch, a temperature adjustment dial, and a heating indicator light. I usually set the temperature to maximum to melt the wax and then lower it slightly to keep it soft; the wax melts in about a minute or two. I'm wondering if those who claim it's not hot enough for dop wax are simply leaving the lid open? That's a lot of energy that's been squandered. The lid does warm up, but not to the point where my fingers are burned. I wish the unit was a little heavier because it tends to tip up when I lift the lid; however, you must remember to keep the pot securely in place while lifting the lid. PS: if you plan ahead of time Use tongs or something to heat your stones because they can get quite hot. If your cabs are small enough to fit in the small basins, simply dop your stick, stick it to your hot stone, and lift the stone out of the pot this way.
This was a waste of time; after 6 hours, the highest temperature reached was 110°.
I do a lot of lapidary work, and it's perfect for melting Dob wax.
It does not melt the dop to a temperature that is suitable for use. I'm not in the least bit pleased. I'm almost done with the second dop wax machine I've tried from Amazon.
Because it does not work, I returned it; however, I believe that these products are not covered by a warranty.
I'm using it as a melting pot for lapidary Dopp wax, and it's wonderful.
We have no problems with the bath in the dental laboratory where I work. We've been using it for two weeks and have had no issues.
The outside of the product gets hotter than the trays, so I can't give it a five star rating.
