im looking into buying a heat treat oven and would like some input as to whitch is the better unit ,the "EVEN HEAT" or the "PARAGON"
thanks.:confused:
 
if you go evenheat zawda SP is the man to go to
:thumbup: to my even heat just 2 things i didnt like the door could be hindged better
and i wish i could have got the rampmaster control upgrade
 
If you're going to use really high alloy stuff (i.e. S90V, 10V, etc.), it might be worth it to go over 2000F, I think the Evenheat gets hotter. The Evenheat opens to the side rather than downwards, some people like it one way, some the other. Darrel Ralph says he's heard rumors the the Paragons' coils don't wear out as quickly, I can't confirm or deny that rumor; I know people who've had Evenheats that have lost quite a long time though. Both look pretty good to me.
 
I love my Evenheat. There is loads of room. Its a plus to be able to put allot of steel in it at once for annealing. I also had to promise the wife she could use it for ceramics at times. Ive never had any trouble with it.

He means Tim Zowada. His site is tzknives.com. He's a great guy, and he seems to have the best prices on Evenheat kilns.

For Paragon Kilns, knifekits.com seems to have decent prices, although I do not know if they are the lowest. They do make it hard to find their kilns though, they're listed under "accessories" (and you need to scroll down the page).

Hello Chris Meyer:
Thats a good price on the Evenheat Oven. When I got this one it was about 950.00. And it work great.

thanks chris im spelling unabled
and i have had the evenheat up to 2100 before but thats my high one day i ll put some of my cpm10v in and runn it good and hot just to see :D
 
I have purchased a Evenheat for the shop and the only problem I have is trying to remember how to set up the ramps? Soooo I just re read the instructions.
It does out perform the industrial Type ovens I have at my day job but that is not a fair comparision.
