Table Top Kilns

for Lampworking, Glassblowing and Beadmaking

The 5628 is a dream kiln for the glass bead or glassblowing enthusiast. It safely anneals the glass to prevent breakage during cooling.

The kiln opens doorways of opportunity in beadmaking. The 4 ½” tall, 10” wide double doors give a total of 20” width for inserting bead rods. This kiln is ideal for seminar teachers. It is like having two kilns instead of one.

The 5628 has a user-friendly 3-key Sentry Xpress digital controller. It automatically maintains the annealing temperature that you program. The controller is packed with features but is so easy to use that your child could program it.

The 5628 has durable insulating firebricks in the roof, walls and floor. The element is seated in pin less grooves in the roof. This is a true high performance kiln you will enjoy using often.

The rugged steel case is light weight, portable, with a slotted base and louvered switch box for long life of the electrical system. The 5628 plugs into a standard household outlet. The kiln ships by convenient UPS.
