Designed for simplicity and efficiency, the Pinto is still large enough - 6" deep and 14-3/8" opening - [1] to let you undertake a wide variety of glass projects. The Pinto's element is in the lid for even heating and faster firing, giving superior control for single layers. A 115V infinite switch allows precise control for consistent, high quality creative results. Use the Pinto anywhere you have a standard 115V, 20 amp outlet. [2] This handy little unit comes standard with infinite switch control, pyrometer and stand. Optional shelves are available.
[1] From the flat of one side to the point of the opposite side is actually 15-1/4". Probably the 14-3/8" they mention is the size of the circle that would touch all seven sides.
[2] Rated at 1690 watts.
Versatility is the key word for our larger, side fired glass kiln. The Octagon fuser operates on any 240 V, 20 Amp circuit.[*] Its Dawson Kiln Sitter povides automatic shut-off in all types of production. Side elements and 9" of depth allow you to use two shelves for 400 square inches of usable area. Slump larger pieces on a single shelf using the full 17-1/2" opening and 9" depth. The Octagon Fuser's infinite switch permits precise temperature control. The top-loading, multi-side design eliminates hot or cold spots, so you can use the entire firing chamber. Comes standard with infinite switch and stand. Kiln shelves and pyrometer are available.
[*] The Fuser actually draws 15 amps and is rated at 3600 watts.
