The other advantage to using 240 over 120 is that it is far more energy efficient. If you’re going to be running it a lot, it will definitely save you money over time on your power bill.
I’ve got the same one but with the WiFi. I really like it since I can check where the oven is in the heat treat process with my phone and not have to be in the same room. Can even adjust on the fly if needed from your phone as you’re figuring it out. Great review!
Thanks for sharing this info with us! I made my own HT-oven about half a year ago (redbeardops' design) which works great for the money but an evenheat oven has been on my radar for a while and this info is of great help.
@@gentrycustomknives8008 Somewhere around €300 ($330) and a lot of time. For some reason firebricks are way cheaper where I live (Netherlands) compared to USA. I bought the steel at a metal scrapyard so that drove the cost down too. Works pretty good but with evenheat you have the confidence that their ovens are not going to fail on you anytime soon.
Man, I am about to buy one of those as I wish to improve my knives quality. Just found your channel a day ago and here you are already giving the info I need. Great channel, you are up there nowml in my YT go-to channel list, right next to Walter S.
great video matt i built my heat treat oven runs off of 240 but down the road im gonna upgrade to a evenheat my oven cost 600-800 bucks to make i think the biggest cost was the soft fire bricks look forward to your next video and buildoff 😃👍👍 Mark A
Nice timing just bought an oven (not an even heat) guillotine version for us for ht steel tooling for our watchmaker shop, and we only just went through the burn in that was a long 40 hours and not my most memorable all-night-er. Now we are already to go, like you we have the 220 but it is 208 as we have 3 phase power here and wifi smart controller no argon connect for ours here though, just thought enough to share with you. Your oven furnace is really nice and a joy to be here while you share it. Lance.
@@gentrycustomknives8008 We have it have not used the oven past the dry out procedure, looking forward to the wireless and many other cool features so we will have to let you know as we watch each video you produce. Our oven is Keith, Thank you. Lance.
I really need to get one of these and get more serious about my knife making. I've only had 3 weekends off in the last 2 months. I went to the elite series weigh in last weekend and the bassmaster classic 2 weekends before that
I bought one a couple years ago...wish I got the tap controller. That being said the Evenheat is a nice piece of gear! I did get the silent relay though...
I'd love to know what types of steels you commonly use for your blades. I think it would be an interesting video. What it takes for you to treat those steels and what the benefits are with that particular steel. Thanks. I always learn a lot from you. Lots of inspiration too.
Super glad I watched this. Almost went with the rampmaster controller just now
Glad I could help!

Yes that actually is a pretty awesome feature! I wonder if I can add it to mine?
I think you can as you should have the USB port on the bottom of the controller. It’s just a dongle that plugs into it.
Get WiFi in ur toilet so you know if shit is already there

That’s interesting! What did it cost to build one?

@@gentrycustomknives8008 Redbeard Ops said he spent $900 on his build. Just watched it yesterday. I'm saving up to an Evenheat.

That’s awesome! I didn’t realize you could build one that affordable!
Thanks. Just got my evenheat LB27. Not installed yet, but will be soon. Glad I found your channel.
You will love that! Thanks for watching!

Wow well that’s awesome! I’d rather be fishing then making knives right now lol

Good call on the silent relay!!
Useful information. Have been looking into heat treationg ovens lately.
Glad to help!

Best steel for beginner knife making? Plus showing my first knife 😬

Have you ever thought of heat treating store-bought razors. Because I'm curious if it would work or if the razors are too thin
They would be too thin I think
It must be niiiiiiiice! 🤣
😛
How long roughly, does it take to get 2000 from start up/cold?
I’d say right around 30-40 minutes
Can you recommend a good heat treat cycle for o1 tool steel more for woodworking tools like molding plane thank you
