Product Overview
GTS 18
The GTS 17 is designed exclusively for the personal studio and is perfectly large enough and small enough all at the same time.
​
The firing chamber fits our 16" x 16" shelf that offers 1.8 cubic feet of firing surface. The 13.5" depth means you're good-to-go for tall draping and slumping projects. All this in a personal studio package that's just a little over 2 feet wide.
​The GTS 17 is designed and built with the same feature-set and performance standards as our larger models and is well suited for all glass firing operations including fusing, slumping, draping, painting and kiln-casting up to 1800°F (982°C)
​
The GTS 17 features our TAP II, Icon+, Icon and Rampmaster 3 controls and is standard equipped with our exclusive Swing View Adjustable Viewing and Quiet Drive Solid State Relay.
Top Load
The GTS 17 is a top loading design and offers a 17" x 17"chamber, 13.5" deep. Our easy to handle 16" x 16" shelf translates into 1.8 square feet of glass firing bliss.
Fiber & Firebrick Design
The GTS 17 is constructed of both fiber and firebrick.
Fiber is used in the lid to speed up the firing process to avoid devitrification and provide for a lighter weight lid.
Firebrick is used in both the walls and floor and provides excellent heat-storage properties which helps smooth out temperature swings and is awesome for annealing. By its nature, firebrick cleans up the temperature fluctuations that "all-fiber" kilns experience. You want a portion of firebrick in your glass kiln.
Swing View Equipped
GTS 17 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure.
The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple.
The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.
Bench-Top Operation
The GTS 17 can be placed directly on your counter or bench-top or within the included floor stand (see below), the choice is yours.
​
Please note that counters and bench tops must be constructed of non-combustible material and be capable of supporting the load of the kiln.
Floor Stand included
The GTS 17 is supplied with a 16" stand for optional floor placement if desired.
Elemented Fiber Lid
The lid of the GTS 17 is constructed of a special fiber material that provides excellent thermal properties along with light weight. This design allows the heating elements to be positioned on the surface for maximum heat transfer and firing efficiency.
We also position these lid heating elements left to right to prevent them from sagging or bunching-up with repeated opening and closing. It's a small but important detail that guarantees performance and satisfaction over the life of the kiln.
We recommend ordering yours with the TAP touchscreen control and solid state relays for the ultimate in performance and long life.The Quiet Drive allows for tight temperature control and longer element life.
