hello everybody
here is what i want to do
i would like to have a variable temp wood burner the type you change the whole pen not just the tip
what would be the best circuit to use for varing the temp at the tip of the pen ? i would assume that you would use a pot to change the wattage from the control box to the pen
i would like a temp range 0-2000 degs what would i have to use to obtain that? the other things i need to consider is shielding my hands from the heat coming from the tip, what would be the best material to use for the hand piece? i've seen aluimum, wood and composits used in make the store bought models
i'm just starting my research for this project , before you say just buy one ,no thats not what i want to do not because of the cost most retail from 75 to 1000 bucks so i could find one that would be a deal thats not what i want
i want to build my own just dont know where to source everything
thanks for the help
