You are certainly welcome, Mr. Jan.
I have been thinking of your small kiln, which you probably would use to HT one blade at a time.
As long as you place the elements equally, you could probably get away with just putting them on the walls, but the closer the elements are to the blade, the less I like things.
Mainly, as long as you don't put elements across the back wall (which is nothing but an easy way to run a circuit), I think it would work.
Very interesting type of industrial oven. I haven't heard of such thing, so please feel free to take some pictures and tell us more about it! Yikes! It gets REALLY hot!
I would imagine lab furnaces are normally way expensive, so congrats for acquiring one!
What are the inside dimensions? Do you do one blade at a time? How do you hold your blade in place? Does it have coils on the back wall, and if so, are there coils on the door too?
The website doesn't show much, but I'm going to punch in some numbers and see what else I can find out, like price, for one thing...
Thanks again, and I'm sorry that I don't think I've said, Welcome to the Forum, it's great to have you here!
Hmm. I don't know why my posts seem to have been conjoined...

Great appreciation, and much respect for your words.
Mark:
For my second furnace I looked at lab furnaces rather than modified pottery kilns. i found a used one of these with controller https://www.lindbergmph.com/light-indust...ox-furnace for a very low price. has elements top, bottom, and walls. the elements are embedded in special compound so they are not exposed to the air and can't flex. works fine. just need it to get above freezing here so I can go to my shop and use it.
