With lid lifters included, operation is smooth and effortless. In fusing mode, the kiln delivers a uniform top blast of heat for even, consistent results. In casting mode, the side-firing elements allow for precise temperature control up to 1,700°F —ideal for casting glass or firing ceramics without overheating the lid coils.
The kiln comes standard with the Orton AF3P 3-Button Controller for straightforward, dependable operation. Artists can upgrade to advanced controllers for greater precision and flexibility:
– Orton AutoFire 4000 12-Key Controller – expanded program capacity and control
– Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen Controller – intuitive modern interface
– TAP II Touchscreen Smart Controller – Wi-Fi connectivity and real-time firing data
An optional furniture kit (21" shelf and ½" posts) adds flexibility for multi-level or specialized setups, while optional solid-state relays provide silent, precise temperature control for heavy studio use.
