Deep Chamber for Serious Slumping
-
The 13.38" interior height offers ample room for slumping deep vessels and working with ring molds or drop-out forms.
-
Sidewall heating elements, arranged in two horizontal rows, enhance uniform edge-to-center heat for better results with larger shelves.
-
Perfect for firing tall molds, large painted panels, frit designs, decals, screen prints, and experimental layering.
Designed for Comfort and Efficiency
-
The lid opens with dual spring-assisted lifts, transferring the weight to a heavy-duty rear hinge to minimize stress on the kiln body.
-
The lid elements are mounted in pinless grooves, staying securely in place without clips for cleaner interior surfaces and easier maintenance.
-
Recessed sidewall grooves protect the element coils and extend the life of your kiln.
-
A sloped control panel brings the SENTINEL digital controller to a comfortable viewing and programming height—especially when used with an 18” stand.
Built to Handle Heavy Use
-
Rugged steel casing and 3” insulating firebrick provide long-term durability and efficient thermal insulation.
-
Wiring is secured with heat-dissipating connectors that have been tested across decades of kiln development.

Nickel-chromium element coils are wound from high-temperature alloy for extended life and stable heating performance.
