We know most knife makers are hobbyists working out of their own shop or garage so we designed an oven that was cool to the touch, a removable door for easy access in and out, and all of the essentials built in with no added up charge; solid state relay, cooling fans, alarm, and door switch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe side elements allow for even heat distribution throughout the oven so you never have to worry about hot or cold spots!
