Re: [Amc-list] New toy!

The online searches I have read all point to 612* being max temp, any hotter is a no-no.
I have not gotten a true "feel" for what the minimum or ideal temp is.
That's what I'm trying to get to.
I have a cheap NCT already that I know is somewhat not real accurate, reads off about 6-8 degrees at room temps.

I  firgure the working temp will be somewhere in the 400 degree plus range. 
I have an idea that if I can locate the specs for one of Sunnens rod ovens it will say what they think is ideal.
As far as I know sunnen rod ovens are the bread and butter of rod heaters for this type of stuff.

UPS is supposed to drop off my new toys on Tuesday, best news I got today is the seller refunded $25. when he printed out the UPS label through Paypal it cost $25 less than when he estimated the costs on UPS site!  YAY!  

I got to finish painting our bedroom before working in the shop though :[
