Product Overview

W-18-3 Digital Jewelry Kiln

The Paragon W18 Kiln is a versatile top-loading kiln ideal for artists working in glass fusing, ceramics, jewelry making, and metal clay firing. With an 18” chamber, it provides generous space for larger projects while maintaining precise temperature control for consistent, professional results.

Featuring the easy-to-use digital Sentry Xpress controller, the W18 kiln offers accurate heat regulation for a variety of firing processes including enameling, PMC, glass art, and ceramic bisque firing. Its durable firebrick insulation ensures excellent heat retention and energy efficiency, making it a dependable choice for studio and craft use.

Perfect for hobbyists and professionals alike, the Paragon W18 kiln delivers reliable performance for all your creative firing needs.

The W-18-3 is made of durable insulating firebrick. The digital controller saves time, makes casting more reliable, and gives consistently repeatable results. The 12-key Sentry controller has 3 built-in, easy-to-use programs. You can also enter your own programs for your exact needs. Included is an on-off toggle switch.

The W-18-3 has a heavy-gauge stainless steel case to resist corrosion. Heating elements are recessed to protect the element, yet the element is still accessible for easy replacement. This furnace also includes a top vent with ceramic plug for lost wax burnout. A spring door latch tightly seals the door while permitting easy opening with one hand for removal of hot flasks.

Thermocouple with “special limit” wire

The thermocouple senses temperature inside the kiln. It is the small rod that extends into the firing chamber. The ¼” wide Type-K, 14-gauge, exposed-tip thermocouple is made with special-limit wire for superior accuracy. The exposed tip gives the controller a fast response time for even temperatures during holds. The thermocouple is made in America to our exacting standards.
