Description
The Paragon Xpress E‑12A (E‑12A1) is designed for precision firing of jewelry, glass, enameling, silver clay, and small ceramic pieces. With a front-loading design and compact 0.35 cu ft chamber (8.5″ W × 12″ D × 6″ H), it’s perfect for artists and hobbyists short on space. The integrated Sentinel TouchXPress touchscreen controller and safety interlock automatically pause firing when the door opens, resuming when closed.
Featuring a 2.5″ thick firebrick wall, the kiln supports slow cooling through annealing ranges and fires up to 2000 °F (1093 °C) with consistent recovery. A top vent with tapered plug lets you release fumes during lost-wax casting. Built-in ventilation, sturdy latch and hinge system, and cool base design make the kiln ready for tabletop placement without additional stands. Ideal for enameling, China painting, glass fusing, jewelry, and small-scale ceramics.
