Mini electric kiln project

[scott.livesey]

the lindberg 51442 I have is 7.5x5.25x14 inches inside.  the elements are in sides, top, and floor.  i do one blade at a time. the time at temperature for O1, O2, O7, or 52100 is so short, it is easier for me to do one at a time.  I think new this furnace is $6000 and a controller is $3000 to $5000 depending on options.  I bought the furnace and controller from an electronic salvage firm for less than $100 and since the business was on my trip route, I didn't have to pay shipping.  bargins are out there on eBay and other sites if you look daily and are patient.
to hold the blade inside the furnace I have pieces of stainless angle iron with slots cut.
