How much does a high tech. oven cost to build?
It will depend largely on the size of the oven and whether you make all the components yourself, or have them fabricated by others. As a guide – for an oven on a base 1000mm. x 1200 mm. [outside diameter] the material costs are about $700 but the commercial fabrication of an oven door, for example, can add additional costs. The above costs are for the oven alone. The base on which it sits can vary greatly in material and construction costs. The high tech. oven built during the course, for around $700 would equate to a commercial ‘off the shelf’ completed oven of between $5000 and $7000 depending on where it is manufactured.
