Knife makers ovens

[Mike Bowler]

I would like to know how much interest there would be in English made knife kilns /ovens
they would come in cheaper than the USA ones,plus no import duty to pay

The company is a oven/kiln building/repair business from Stoke on trent
They also make farrier ovens.

I can give you ruff internal measurements of 9" x 9" x 14" 2 tier oven so you could do up to 8 blades at a time. or one axe head
The ovens will be pre set to do O1 ,RWL-34 and 1 other setting plus a manual setting
The running costs will be approx 50p per hour, so we looking at O1 costing approx 70p to heat and temper 8 knives at once

If we get enough interest I could organize a group buy/introductory offer below the normal price
Please copy and paste to add your name
AT THIS STAGE YOU ARE NOT COMMITTING TO BUY YOU ARE JUST SHOWING INTEREST

Do you have a very ball park figure for price Mike?

 

[Philster]

Mike
Is it something you need to leave built up or can you pack it away when its cooled down? And a ballpark figure on the price would be good.
Cheers

Temps, timer and internal measurements would help.... I wonder if it can be used to temper glass too. I wish I was in the market for one, I really do

These things won't be cheap guys, so if your looking at getting something then expect to be forking out a good wad.

They are expensive for a reason.

What are prices Mike?

 

[ammo]

I am interested, I just hope that the price doesn't scare me off.

 

[HillBill]

He said they are cheaper than the American ones, which cost about £1000 at a similar size.

If you were to buy all the components to build your own it would be at least £200, And thats on the cheap. So for one to be built..... add on their costs to that.... I'd be pleasantly surprised if they cost less than £500. Could even be interested in another myself at that

He doesn't know yet as it's dependent on a few factors but if you aim for a rough guide of £400 then it'll give an idea. It may be more than that though.

 

[monkey boy]

Any chance he could send pics to see it?
