Electrode holding oven

Moisture-contaminated rods may make good-looking welds at first, but they can cause porosity and longitudinal cracking down the road. Be sure to keep them moisture-free in the Keen KHT-50 50 lb. capacity welding rod oven. It reaches 550F, unlike the standard portable KT-50 which reaches 275F. Certain welding codes require welding electrodes to be heated beyond 300F right out of the packaging, and this small capacity high-temperature portable is the answer for the small welding shop. 500 watts. Features external dial thermostat and thermometer installed in door.
