Easy to use induction heater, operated by simply installing the appropriate coil type and placing ...Easy to use induction heater, operated by simply installing the appropriate coil type and placing over or around the ferrous metal for heating. Induction heaters are safer and more economical to use than brazing torches or welding/heating techniques. It is designed for use by professional technicians in garages, workshops and engineering facilities. This induction heater is portable and supplied in a carry case with four different shaped coils. Expert Quality, easy to use induction heater, operated by simply installing the appropriate coil and placing over or around the ferrous metal you wish to heat. The common practice of using oxy-acetylene torches to loosen stubborn fixings, whilst effective, is a safety hazard and wasteful. Induction heating produces intense localised heat, heating met.
This guide is for professional technicians in garages, workshops, and engineering facilities using the Draper Expert Induction Heating Tool Kit - 80808. The kit offers a safer and more economical method for heating ferrous metals compared to traditional methods. However, it's essential to understand the specific coil requirements for your task and ensure proper safety precautions are followed. The kit is designed for localized heating, which is useful for loosening stubborn fixings.
