I have finally made some progress on my (hopefully) Super80 quench tank. This is all virgin territory for me so any feedback will be honestly appreciated. It was a beast to get apart, mostly because I have a ton of hand tools, and not really the right power tools for this particular piece. The walls are a solid 5/8" thick, and the bath area I will have access to is roughly 5.25" x 23" with a depth of about 5" or so.
I plan to assemble this on a frame, insulate it, and use a heater and piping with a possible motive force to achieve a convective fluid quench tank.
I wouldn't recommend others try this, I got my but kicked several days trying to encourage the upper 1/5 of the tanks side to cut away. It was alot of work, and I am not sure I would repeat it. How many people knew it was a silly idea when I mentioned it in the other thread? It looks like a nice tank though, and I have a LARGE supply of aluminum hand gaurd material now.
Will it work out ok?
The guard material!!
thank you all,
Ron
