K2942-2 / HydroGuard® Bench Welding Rod Oven - 240/480 V

Outstanding Moisture Resistance for Improved Weld Quality

HydroGuard™ Rod Ovens help protect stick electrodes from moisture pickup, a major contributor to weld cracking and porosity. The Bench model holds up 350 lbs (159 kg) of stick up to 18 in. (46 cm) in length, enough for multiple operators in almost any fabrication shop.
