as far as the heat treating goes, truth is I dont even know yet. what I dont want is to buy or make the wrong thing. I want one multi purpose machine. maybe even something that I could use for curing powder coating?.( i know not gas!!
I have some cnc equipment in my garage and I want to make-------- stuff. maybe gears, as you can tell Im not sure about that either. Im trying to find my nitch. but my space is limited. My shop is in a two car garage, so at least I got plenty ventalation. and the garage has its own 100amp service. I have a 50 amp welder outlet that is avalible for power.has to be single phase. im not to worried about the electric bill. if it goes up a hundred bucks a month so be it. After talking with you guys Im pretty set on a electric furnace. I know some of you advise against, but im just to lazy to deal with the propane tank thing. so if I were to buy? does anyone know where the best spot is that I can get a front load furnace and how much apprx.? also Murphy how much do you think it would cost to build one? a very thankful mike
