How many watts is your turbo oven?

[mcmasterp]

I just got a gg clone called the action aire. It looks just like one of the ones Peter has on his site. I assumed it would be 1400-1500watt but it says 1200w on the sticker. What wattage is yours people? Should I bother using it?

I've had 1200W units that work fine.  Seems the actual rating has little to do with how well they heat the beans.


Now...   go start another thread!

Ok good to know. It would be my luck to get an under powered one.

Haha. Maybe I'll start a thread asking how many is to many threads!

Well that didn't go well. I forgot to put a cap on the center wing nut. Apparently it is definitely needed because as I was preheating the machine this happened. Nut sure if I'll be able to salvage the SC or need another until it cools down. I only was preheating for a minute or two when it happened

what have you used to make the aluminium spacer and how did you fix it?

I went to lowes and bought a 3ft piece of aluminum strip. It's next to the threaded rod and sheet metal. I think it was 1/16" thick. It was 1" wide, they have other widths. Bending in a circle gives people trouble, I got lucky doing it by hand going slowely.

For the melted shift I just replaced the whole thing with a 8 mm long socket with a hanger bolt jb welded into the end with some washers and such
