Overview
Paragon's SC2 is the shorter sibling in this fiber kiln pairing, with an 8 by 7 3/4 by 5 3/4 inch chamber that trades height for a lower profile, running on a 120 volt 12 amp circuit up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. It ships with the same Sentry 3 Key control board as the SC3 for programmed firing cycles.
The shorter 5 3/4 inch height compared to the SC3's 7 3/4 inches makes this the better fit for flatter work such as fused glass plates or shallow enamel pieces, where a tall chamber just wastes heating time. Fiber insulation keeps cycle times short, which matters for small studio work done in batches.
- 2000F maximum temperature
- 8 x 7 3/4 x 5 3/4 inch chamber
- 120v 12amp draw
- Sentry 3 Key control board
Who it's for
Suits glass fusing, enamel or small ceramic work that does not need chamber height, run on a standard household circuit. Less useful for anyone firing taller pieces, where the SC3's extra height would fit better.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Shorter chamber suits flat glass and enamel work
- Runs on a standard 120v 12 amp circuit
- Sentry 3 Key programmable control board
- Limited chamber height for taller pieces
- No published reviews on this listing yet
Performance notes
At 5 3/4 inches tall the chamber favors flat loads over tall ones, and the fiber lining heats and cools quickly for shorter cycle times between firings. The 12 amp draw is lighter than the SC3's 15 amps, and the Sentry 3 Key board programs the ramp and hold.
