Comparing the SC-2 and SC-2 Pro Upgrade
The venerable SC-2 has been in production since 1997 . It is a proven design that we have steadily refined over the years . Thousands of artists in the U .S .,Canada,Europe,and Japan lovetheir SC-2 .
The sleek SC-2 Pro has the same ceramic fiber firingchamber as the standard SC-2 . In addition,the SC-2 Pro features a brushed stainless steel door with an easy-to-open 9 long wooden handle . The door opens and closes gently with an adjustable,spring-loadd catch on the bottom . The control panel is sloped for easy viewing and operation of the controller . The doors on both kilns open 180 degrees to give you full access to the interior . The SC-2 Pro also has an easy-access back panel for quick maintenance .
Solid State Relay
The SC-2 Pro elements are powered by a quiet,solid state relay . For your security,the solid state relay is backed by a mechanical safety relay that turns off the heating elements should the solid state relay ever fail .
What Can You Make with an SC-2 Pro
You can try the amazing Art Clay Silver,PMC silver clay,and even glass clay . Shape these clays with simple tools . firingthe clays in a kiln to the correct temperature turns the clays into solid silver or glass . Fire china paint,enameling,and glass fusing in minutes . Create unique jewelry that you cannot buy in a store . Give incredible gifts that sparkle with dichroic glass . The SC-2 Pro fires up to 2000℉ .
A Proven Design
The high-tech ceramic fiber firingchamber is wrapped in a steel inner case . The outer steel case remains cool due to the air gap under it . In addition,the case is slotted for air circulation . Electrical components,located in the base,stay cool even at extended hold times .
Large Yet Portable
The SC-2 Pro can hold three shelves of silver clay yet is portable enough to take with you to classes . Program the firingschedule that is perfect for your projects . The kiln turns itself off after the firingis completed . (Please note,however,that you should be near the kiln during operation .) The SC-2 Pro is great in classrooms because the elements are embedded in ceramic fiber .
Even Heat Distribution

As with the standard SC-2,the SC-2 Pro has separate heating elements in the left and right sides of the firingchamber . The back of the chamber has no element,so the heat distribution in the SC-2 Pro is even throughout the firingchamber,because heat does not build up in the back .

The SC-2 Pro,for a digital kiln,is surprisingly affordable and proudly made in America to exacting standards . It fires automatically at the rate and temperature you enter .
