I started with one and all I can say is dont waste the money, find a used house oven it will work alot better at getting the powder to flow out smoother. I paid 400.00 at the time when they first came out.

I have one it works fine. It became to small in a short time with the 18x18 size. I put a thermo inside of mine and notice the oven dial is about 50 degrees off at times. I am waiting to see what caswell comes up with on the oven they are going to offer.

I believe a home oven may be wider inside also.

yeah my oven also was off 50 too

Re: chicago electric oven

Correct a Household electric range oven interior is larger (both wider & deeper). You can find a free oven almost every day. Works better too. In my case, I found a local guy who had 20 ovens that were built in 1970, but never sold (still in orignal cartons) Avocardo green!. He was selling them for $20.00 each. I bought 4, 2 to PC in & 2 more to steal the thermostats out of for building my 8'x8' oven
Good Luck

It looks to me that all of those ovens require 3 phase power - not feasible in most home business environments.

I agree.

I agree the cost of curing ovens is high but when you figure in the liability the manufacturer has to assume to produce and sell them it is understandable. I actually thought about building ovens to sell but the liability exposure is high and insurance to cover that exposure put the brakes on real quick. If I, or anyone else for that matter builds and oven like we need and the end user has a fire, explosion or injury, the liability could, and in most cases falls back to the manufacturer.

Even if the manufacturer can prove that the fire, explosion or injury was from the end users mis use or modification to their product, they will have spent thousands of dollars doing so.
