Lighten Your Load with the Olympic Kilns 126 LITE: Precision Firing in a Lightweight Design
The Perfect 120-Volt Kiln for Small-Scale Glass and PMC Projects
Looking for a kiln that offers ample firing space without the heavy weight and high shipping costs? The Olympic Kilns 126 LITE is your answer. This kiln is designed to provide all the firing power you need for glass fusing and precious metal clay (PMC) projects, while its innovative construction keeps it light and easy to handle.
Innovative Lightweight Design
The 126 LITE features a spacious 12.5″ x 12.5″ wide by 6″ deep firing chamber, perfect for your small to medium-sized projects. What sets this kiln apart is its unique combination of a brick lid and fiber walls, which reduces weight without compromising on performance. This kiln can reach temperatures up to 1700°F (927°C), making it ideal for a wide range of artistic endeavors.
Efficient and Easy-to-Use Digital Controller
Equipped with a 3-key electronic controller, the 126 LITE allows you to program up to four user-defined firing schedules. Simply scroll through the up and down arrows to set your desired ramp/hold times, ensuring that each project is fired with precision. For artists seeking even more control, an upgrade to the 12-key digital KilnStar controller is available, offering advanced features like delay start, preheat, and skip step for precise and reliable firings.
Built for Durability and Easy Maintenance
The kiln’s brick lid provides durability, while the fiber walls contribute to its lightweight design. It’s important to note that the fiber walls may emit some smoke and odors during the first firing, so it’s recommended to perform this initial firing outdoors. After this, future firings will be odor-free, ensuring a comfortable and clean working environment.
Tailor Your Kiln with Customizable Options
Make the 126 LITE truly yours by selecting from a variety of optional accessories:
-
Bead door for quick and easy access during firings
- Quartz glass viewing window for monitoring your projects in real-time
-
Automatic Lid Shutoff to kill power if the lid is opened
Optimize Your Kiln with a Furniture Kit
Maximize your kiln’s capacity with an optional furniture kit, which includes two layers of shelving, assorted small square posts, ceramic paper, and a one-pound bag of kiln wash. Customize your kit to fit your specific needs and keep your workspace organized and efficient.
The Olympic Kilns 126 LITE is the perfect combination of size, power, and convenience for any glass or PMC artist. Its lightweight design, coupled with advanced firing capabilities, makes it an essential tool for artists who need performance without the bulk.
