Paragon F120 Glass Annealing Kiln with Mandrel Holder
Includes mandrel points
Paragon F-120 Lamp Working Kiln
Anneal large glass figurines in the digital Paragon F-120 lamp working kiln. Raise the spring-loaded vertical-drop door to insert a glass figurine with a punty rod. Lower the door. The punty rod extends outside the firing chamber through the smaller 2” x 8” punty rod door. This allows the glass to anneal safely.
You can make figurines up to 5” tall in the Paragon F-120. Maintain the annealing temperature indefinitely with the Sentry Xpress 3-key controller.
The ease of operation of this electric glass kiln will delight you. Never before has lamp work been so easy in this price range. Imagine the massive, award-winning figurines you will make with this electric glass kiln.

Pinless element grooves
The Paragon F-120 elements are mounted in pinless grooves in the 3” thick firebrick roof. The element coils are wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay in place without pins. With the element in the top, you can also fuse and slump glass.
Imagine the glass you could sag, slump, and fuse with this electric glass kiln. Make small pendants, earrings, cufflinks, and even bracelets. Enjoy the glittering beauty of dichroics.
