Fire Knives and Tools with Heat Treating 1200 Cubic Inch Oven
Bring your heat treating in-house with the Hot Shot HS-1200. With its 12″ × 10″ × 10″ chamber and 240V setup, this oven reaches 2000°F (1093°C) in as little as 30 minutes. That means you can harden blades, multiple small tools, or full prototype parts without sending them to a third party.
