We just bought a used HT oven for $60. *It has about a 1.5 cubic foot

name but one of the guys says it's a better but older make and model.

I doubt it'll save us money on heat treating but it'll be fun and the guys
have a new toy...very important for morale. *My question is: *How hot and
how long to do a steak in there? *Crusty on the outside and red in the
middle! *Mmmmmm!


Single phase or three phase?
