Overview
The Paragon SC3 is a fiber-insulated kiln with a compact 7 3/4 by 8 by 7 3/4 inch chamber, running on a 120 volt 15 amp circuit up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. It ships with a Sentry 3 Key control board for setting firing programs rather than a plain on-off switch.
Fiber insulation heats up and cools down faster than brick, which is why small fiber kilns like this one are popular for glass, enamel and small ceramic test work rather than large production runs. A 15 amp draw on a standard 120 volt circuit means it can run without a dedicated high-amperage line, unlike many larger kilns.
- 2000F maximum temperature
- 7 3/4 x 8 x 7 3/4 inch chamber
- 120v 15amp, standard household circuit
- Sentry 3 Key control board
Who it's for
Suits glass, enamel or jewelry work needing a small, quick-cycling kiln on a standard household circuit. Not sized for production ceramics or large batches, given the roughly 8 inch chamber.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Runs on a standard 120v 15 amp circuit
- Sentry 3 Key programmable control board
- Fast-cycling fiber insulation suited to glass and enamel
- Compact chamber, not sized for production ceramics
- No published reviews on this listing yet
Performance notes
Fiber insulation reaches temperature and cools faster than a firebrick kiln of similar size, which suits shorter glass and enamel cycles. The Sentry 3 Key board programs the ramp and hold instead of leaving timing to a manual switch, and the 15 amp 120 volt draw keeps it usable on a standard circuit.
