The Olympic Kilns 514 Slider: Precision Meets Ease with Innovative Design

Experience Unmatched Convenience and Control in Glass Firing

Elevate your glass artistry with the Olympic Kilns 514 Slider, a kiln that masterfully combines innovation and functionality to deliver the ultimate tool for glass fusing. With a spacious 29″ x 29″ wide by 13.5″ deep firing chamber, this kiln provides ample room for large-scale projects or multiple pieces. What truly sets the 514 Slider apart is its unique clamshell design paired with a sliding floor. This design allows for effortless loading, manipulating, and unloading of your glass creations, with the kiln’s floor extending a full 65 inches from front to back, giving you exceptional access and control. Whether you're working on intricate glass raking or large-scale fusions, the 514 Slider ensures a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.

Superior Heating for Consistent, High-Quality Results

Equipped with a dual-element heating system, the 514 Slider guarantees even and consistent heating across your entire piece. The element in the lid provides radiant heat for reaching optimal fusing temperatures, while the conductive elements in the walls maintain consistent heat throughout the chamber. This combination eliminates cold spots and ensures that every inch of your glass receives uniform heat, resulting in flawless, professional-quality results every time. With a maximum temperature of 1700°F, the 514 Slider is versatile enough to handle a wide range of glass techniques, from basic slumping to complex multi-layer fusions.

Built for Durability and Ease of Use

Constructed with a durable stainless steel jacket and supported by an 18” heavy-angle iron stand, the 514 Slider is built to withstand the demands of a busy studio. The gas strut-assisted lid and ergonomic wooden handle make opening and closing the firing chamber effortless, even when working with large or heavy pieces. The kiln comes standard with the Digital KilnStar controller, offering precise control over your firing schedules. The KilnStar controller allows you to easily program and adjust ramp-hold settings, ensuring consistent, high-quality results every time.

For those seeking enhanced control, the Genesis touchscreen controller is available as an upgrade. With its modern interface and advanced programming capabilities, the Genesis controller provides extra flexibility for managing detailed firing cycles.

Customize Your Kiln for Enhanced Performance

For artists who demand additional control and flexibility, the 514 Slider offers a range of optional upgrades. Both the KilnStar and Genesis controllers include advanced features like delay start, preheat, and skip step, allowing for precise control over firing cycles. Whether you're focused on complex techniques or multiple firings, these controllers give you the tools to fine-tune every project.

Optimize Your Workflow with Tailored Accessories

Maximize the potential of your 514 Slider with a custom furniture kit designed to streamline your workflow. The kit includes two layers of shelving, assorted square posts, ceramic paper, and kiln wash, ensuring that your glass pieces are evenly supported and heated during firing. Whether you opt for the standard kit or customize your own setup, these accessories help you maintain an organized and efficient studio environment.

Innovation, Precision, and Versatility

The Olympic Kilns 514 Slider is the ideal solution for glass artists who value precision, ease of use, and versatility. With its innovative sliding floor, advanced heating system, and customizable options, this kiln empowers you to achieve exceptional results with every project. Make the 514 Slider a centerpiece of your studio and watch your glass artistry reach new heights.
