Thinking about taking the plunge into a heat treat oven. Most of what I do is in AEB-L and I'm sure I will be asking for advice on how to heat treat, but it does look fairly straight forward and doable for a non pro like me. I'm looking at the Paragon double barrel 24 and the Evenheat KO 22.5. I'm pretty sold on the Paragon based on what Ed has shared here but have a few questions:
1. The Evenheat indicates it goes to 2400 degrees and the Paragon 2350. However the Paragon is rated at a much higher wattage. Do you think the Paragon heats up faster, and does that 50 degrees make much difference or is Evenheat just rounding it up?
2. Paragon's double barrel has coils on top, do you think that would make for more even heat process?
3. It appears both Sentry3 and Tap control panels are very similar, any comments on either.
4. Evenheat offers an electronic "quiet" system, what do you think of that?
5. The Paragon is much smaller inside than the Evenheat, is a 4.25" height enough?
6. Any other thoughts or comments would be most appreciated.
