Do I want a 220V or 12-V Contactor?

[Livinincolor]

I am ordering all the pieces needed for the oven we are building.
I have 3 estimates for the formed sheet metal pieces.
Ordered 1 thermocouple from ebay from a previous poster here, jusy don't know if it should be 220v or 120 volt coil.
Thank you in advance for the help.

And I do plan on documenting the whole oven build as I have read every oven post and formulated an easily built, sturdy and well heated unit....well, we'll see I guess!
Collected over 135 pounds of powder so far and a ton of parts to do....no oven yet! Talk about backwards!

ps I did mean the title to say 220 or 120, not 12v ay yay yay!!!

assuming that the oven is 220V then you should get a 220V coil. I got this set-up from a guy on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7605788907

Thanks Trey. Just emailed him about it as I bought the same unit! Looks great. Got any hints on wiring it up??

I just got it today in the mail and it looks pretty basic. It is the contactor and thermostat, the thermostat has directions and if you need any help I know the guy will send you wiring schematics and help you out.

Mine should be here any day now. I will post pics of the unit and a decent schematic when it gets here.
I will also post pics of the oven as it progresses. Maybe I can give back to the group like it has given to me!
