Many DIY car enthusiasts have no problem picking up powder coating as a skill. The satisfaction of creating a beautiful, durable finish on your own parts is hard to beat. It does, however, require some special equipment to get started, including a reliable heating device to cure the powdered paint.
For DIYers looking to achieve professional-quality finishes on small projects, a compact benchtop oven offers the perfect solution. With its efficient size and job-specific features, a dedicated powder oven ensures the best results. This latest version of Eastwood’s popular benchtop powder coating oven is packed with features that make it the prefect DIY companion.
Here’s why this smart little oven makes so much sense for DIYers with smaller powder coating projects.
Hot and Fast
Combining its compact size with two rows of heating elements (upper and lower), the inside of this benchtop oven heats up quickly without wasting energy. It also runs on 120V power, so you can plug it in almost anywhere in your shop or garage.
Perfect Timing
With its built-in timer, you can set up your project and walk away without worrying if you’ve over-cured your powder. When the timer goes off, the heating element shuts down allowing your part to gradually cool.
Going Sideways
Because it’s lightweight and has full flat panels, this powder coating oven can be positioned upright. This allows larger items like brake calipers other components to be hung lengthwise for heating. A hook on one end (the ceiling when turned sideways) provides the necessary mounting point for such work.
