Jen-Ken AF3P 18-E Glass Kiln

A studio favorite since the 1970s, the Jen-Ken AF3P 18-E is a proven performer for glass fusing and slumping. Its dependable design combines efficiency and versatility, making it ideal for both hobbyists and professionals seeking consistent, high-quality results firing after firing.

This kiln accommodates a 15" round shelf or pieces up to 10.5" square, offering ample workspace for your creative projects. With both top and side firing, it ensures uniform heat distribution—perfect for everything from intricate fusing to smooth slumping. An optional quartz viewing window allows you to monitor your work without opening the lid and disrupting the cycle.

The AF3P 18-E comes standard with the Orton AF3P 3-Button Controller for simple, reliable operation, and you can upgrade to advanced digital systems for expanded precision and convenience:
– Orton AutoFire 4000 12-Key Controller – greater program capacity and multi-segment control
– Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen Controller – intuitive, modern touchscreen interface
– TAP II Touchscreen Smart Controller – Wi-Fi connectivity, data logging, and cloud storage

Optional solid-state relays (SSRs) deliver whisper-quiet operation, precise temperature control, and longer component life. Add the optional small furniture kit (15" shelf with three ½" posts and kiln wash) for efficient stacking and space optimization.
