My PC oven worked great and I did a lot parts in there, however, the size is the limit.

So I decided to build a new oven for the larger parts.

I'm using metal studs like the those are used for office building walls.

This will be the bottom part.


I used 18 gauge sheet metal for the bottom side and reinforced the corners with the same material for the coasters.


I welded the nuts for the wheel mounting bolts at the inside, in case I have the remove the wheels.


Test fitting the framing pieces.


Insulation R13


Bottom parts is complete


Completing all the panels


And Assembly of the box.


Door is mounted, looks like a big fridge, LOL


Next, the box for the controls




PID and solid state relay, this is the same stuff I used for the small oven, works great.


This is why I have always some Ikea cutting board's in my material collection.


Connection block for tha powa


Here you go


Got the thermocouple installed


Wiring of the heating coils


And the heating coils installed.


The control box done and wired


here a picture of the completed oven


I used the inner part of an old oven where I also got the coils from, and cut out the section for the rack.


A few more details, but I tested and all is working. Looking forward to powder coat the suspension part for the 1970 911.

Cheers
Engelbert

Now it's complete.

Had to put some graphics on it.
