Default Re: My 3'x3'x6' Oven project.

The whole idea to the thermocouple inside the pipe, is to give you a more accurate reading of the part temp and not the oven temp. My oven temp will read as much as 15 or 20 degrees more then my thermocouple. But as the thermocouple reaches the set temp, so does the oven temp. No short time or wrong temp cures. Part temp is what I'm after. Powder will flow early, but the part may not have reached the temp to cure it correctly.
