HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
Does anyone have plans or links to plans for a small electric furnace? I am looking to build one with 2" internal diameter, heated area about 7" long. Maximum temperature of 1650F (that should cover all the 10XX, O series, W series, and S series tool steel.) i can get a Watlow controller and most other electrical parts.
this is the heating element i was looking at

would love to do electric because of ability to control temperature, no fuel, and could set it up in basement.
any tips or suggestions greatly appreciated.
time to go to the office.
