Description
The Paragon F-130 is a purpose-built annealing kiln for serious beadmakers and lampworkers. Engineered with a wide front-loading door and deep firing chamber, this kiln easily accommodates long bead mandrels, annealing rods, and sculptural glasswork. With a maximum temperature of 1700°F (926°C) and Sentry Xpress 3-Key Digital Controller, it delivers exceptional temperature control for stress-free annealing and low-fire fusing projects.
Its Kanthal A-1 heating elements are located in the top and sidewalls, providing even heat distribution across the entire chamber. The 2.5″ thick firebrick insulation ensures excellent energy efficiency and thermal stability.
