The Paragon SC-3 with Guillotine Door is larger than the SC2, which still makes it an outstanding travel kiln, but allows you to do bigger stuff! It not only heat-treats metals, and fires metal clay, but it also easily handles low-fire ceramics, decals, enamels, and glass fusing, garaging and anealing blown work. WHAT CAN'T THIS WORKHORSE DO?
The guillotine door lifts up and out of the way with one-handed operation. The hot side of the door remains away from you. The door lifts effortlessly with the assistance of a spring on each side. Plus, it has a built-in base, so no extra stand is needed.
The Paragon SC-3 digital kiln has a fast-firing element that is embedded in the firing chamber shell. This allows the kiln to heat from the sides and back, so it can reach about 1700°F in twenty minutes. FAST HEATING AND COOLING? WOW!
Additionally, the high-tech ceramic fiber firing chamber is wrapped in a steel inner case allowing the outer steel case to remain cool due to the layer of air between it. Electrical components, located in the base, will even stay cool even at extended hold times.
