I'm in the process of looking for a toaster oven to turn into a
reflow oven. I've been looking in second-hand stores and most of
these are pretty junky. I saw a convection toaster oven for like $70
new at (I think) target. Given that these essentially blow hot air,
I thought it might be ideal for conversion and that it might be a
solution to the heat loss problem. I think I'd need to install some
sort of flow defuser to prevent moving of smaller, lighter parts.
Has anyone tried one?
I might want to build a controller for it that would cycle the heat
(pre-heat, heat, cool down) in a controllen fashion.
