Burn out wax from investment flasks and run programmed firing cycles at the bench in a compact chamber that requires no separate stand. The Paragon SC3 is a programmable jewelry kiln offered in three door configurations to match your workflow: Standard Door, Bead Door, or Bead Door with Glass Window, in 120V and 220V versions. Every SC3 uses the same ceramic fiber chamber nested in a ventilated, double-wall steel cabinet, which keeps the exterior cooler and energy use low. A built-in base means no stand is required, and the compact cabinet ships by UPS or FedEx rather than truck freight.

2nd great Paragon buy ...

I have a Paragon pottery / glass fusing kiln as well. Have had that for 6 - 7 years. It has always worked great. That and my SC3 are 220 volt units. This SC3 also works great. The controller is very similar to the larger Sentry controller, just without the numeric keypad. So if you have worked with a Sentry before this should be no problem. Even if you haven't I think they are easy to program. The instructions are good too. It will accommodate one 4 inch flask and one 3 3/8 inch flask at the same time. The wax tray is a must for dewaxing. Also, you'll need some short 3/8 - 1/2 inch tall ceramic posts to put the wax tray up on. I believe this is so it does not overheat and so it does not poke holes in the insulation. A few small unglazed tile bits should work if you can't get the posts. I s'pose some 1/2 in stainless washers or nuts would work too. You may see some negative posts our there on the electrical ratings of the Paragon products. My experience is that if you follow Paragon's recommendations, you will be totally fine in practice. If in doubt, a good electrician will usually provide a consultation for $100 - $200 for your particular electrical system. Like anything else if you are told you need a better circuit, verify that with a 2nd or 3rd opinion.
