Description
The Paragon Fusion-8 is a highly compact glass kiln designed for small-scale projects, personal studios, and educational settings. With a 1700°F (926°C) maximum temperature and ultra-portable 0.21 cubic foot chamber, it’s a go-to solution for fusing, slumping, or annealing glass jewelry, tiles, and test samples.
This model is powered by a Sentry 12-Key Digital Controller, offering fine-grain programming for multi-stage ramp-hold firing sequences—essential for accuracy in temperature transitions and hold times.
Thanks to its 120V operation, the Fusion-8 plugs into any standard household outlet, making it perfect for home-based artists or classrooms that need a plug-and-play solution without special wiring.
Despite its small footprint, the kiln features top-mount Kanthal A-1 heating elements and 3″ firebrick insulation to ensure thermal stability and energy efficiency during operation.
