Howdy y’all the blacksmith room has a kiln that needs two coils. The issue is the coils from the manufacture are on back order an have been for many weeks now. I’d like to know if we can find replacement coils and if the are up to par with the ones made originally for this kiln. If you are able to able to help I’d appreciate that.
Just make them. They are coiled kanthol wire. Figure out the gauge, diameter of the coil, and length, and coil them yourself using a lathe with a mandrel

so awesome. can we have a class on making the coil when the coil is made?
Yeah. My plan was to do a class on how kilns work. I build one a while back for heat treatment of steel. They aren’t very complicated electronically. It’s basic circuits. It’s a good beginner electronics class with a very practical application.

For anyone interested in kiln making or how kilns work. I intend on putting a short class up for this Thursday. I am going to coil the blacksmithing elements tonight if anyone is interested join me in the machine shop around 6pm. I will also put something up for next Thursday. Probably a class that teaches using Solidworks to create a sheet metal flat pattern. Kiln design…ect
