Does Your Shop Need an Oven?
By Brian Dally

You obviously need a fridge for beer—or aloe water—but why do you need an oven in your garage? Read why inside.

Ovens are handy. Especially for heatings gears to slide them on shafts/carriers. Even installing bearings can be made easier with a over. I have heated one and put the other side in a freezer before. Works great.

Ovens are great. You never know when you may need to ceramic coat something and stick it in the oven for a bake cure.

I put my powder coating oven on a small platform and mounted a 110v HF winch on the ceiling of my metal building. It stays out of the way 12' high until I need it and then just hit the button and lower it down.
