[QUOTE="Jwest7788, post: 1944, member: 1"] Finally got around to hooking up a digital control to my kiln yesterday. I needs some tweaking to get it all setup still. I'm going to bypass all of the kiln's standard controls (24 hour timer for pottery, etc.) but tested yesterday and appears to be working. It's overshooting the set point, so need to run the auto calibration function once I get it all finalized. I hate working with 240V, always makes me nervous when plugging in after a tweak. Ended up finding a great spot to mount the control, and added a simple on off switch, something the kiln never had, haha. God the instructions were a pain in the rear. Once I figured out that there is indeed a section that is english for each area, it's still pretty poorly translated, but workable. Will be heat treating a buddies knife on Thursday. And now that I have finer tuned temp control, can powder coat in the garage too. ([USER=3]@Janger[/USER] , over the holidays I ended up buying the same powder coat gun from harbour freight. I'm pretty pumped to try it out. Any tips?) Typical of me, I didn't grab nearly as many pictures as I thought I did. Will be sure to document as the rest of the process proceeds. Any picture requests? JW [/QUOTE]
