Discover Unmatched Precision with the Olympic Kilns 149 Slider: A Revolution in Glass Firing

Enhance Your Creative Process with a Sliding Floor and Clamshell Design

The Olympic Kilns 149 Slider is designed for artists who value precision and convenience in their glass fusing and slumping work. With its innovative clamshell design and sliding floor, this kiln enhances your creative process, making loading, glass manipulation, and precise firing simpler and more efficient.

Innovative Sliding Floor for Easy Access

A standout feature of the 149 Slider is its sliding floor, extending to a full 36” in length, allowing complete access to the kiln’s spacious 14.5″ x 14.5″ wide by 9″ deep chamber. This design lets you position your glass pieces with ease, eliminating the need to reach into a hot kiln. The kiln’s sleek wood handle stays cool to the touch, providing comfort and safety as you work on your projects.

Versatile and Powerful Firing Capabilities

The 149 Slider fires up to 1700°F, making it ideal for a wide range of glasswork applications. Equipped with a lid element for fusing and a body element for ramping, annealing, and cooling, this kiln offers precise control throughout the firing process. A built-in toggle switch allows you to easily select which element to activate, ensuring that your pieces are fired perfectly every time.

User-Friendly and Safe Operation

The 149 Slider is built with safety and ease of use in mind. It features a built-in lid brace arm that locks securely in place when the firing chamber is open, ensuring safe operation. The attached 8″ tall angle iron stand provides a stable base, while the stainless steel jacket enhances durability and longevity for years of reliable use.

Precision Control with the Digital KilnStar Controller

The 149 Slider comes standard with the Digital KilnStar controller, offering reliable, user-friendly control over your firing schedules. The KilnStar’s intuitive programming ensures your firings are consistent and accurate, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced artists.

For those seeking more advanced control, the Genesis Touchscreen controller is available as an upgrade. The Genesis offers a modern interface with enhanced features such as customizable firing programs, delay start, and real-time monitoring, giving you even greater flexibility and precision in your firing process.

Customize Your Kiln for Maximum Versatility

Tailor the 149 Slider to meet your specific needs with a variety of optional accessories, including:

  • Bead door for quick and convenient annealing
  • Quartz glass viewing window for real-time monitoring of your work
  • Automatic lid shutoff for immediate power shutdown when the lid is open

Optimize Your Workspace with a Furniture Kit

Maximize the efficiency of your kiln with a furniture kit, which includes two layers of shelving, assorted square posts, and two square feet of ceramic paper. These accessories help keep your workspace organized and productive, ensuring you can make the most of your kiln’s interior space.
