Description
The Paragon F-130 is a highly versatile, front-loading kiln built for glass artists, jewelers, enamelers, and metalworkers. With a durable stainless steel exterior and a fiber-insulated chamber, the F-130 delivers fast, even heat and superior thermal response, all from a 120V outlet—no special wiring required.
Equipped with the Sentry Xpress 3-Key Digital Controller, this model gives users full control over ramp rates, hold times, and final temperatures up to 1700°F (926°C). The front-loading design allows for safe, ergonomic loading of delicate pieces, while the embedded Kanthal A-1 heating elements ensure even heating throughout the chamber.
With a compact footprint and powerful performance, the F-130 is an excellent choice for bench-top work in home studios, teaching labs, or small production shops.
