Skutt Crucible Furnace

Rated to 2350 F, the Crucible Furnace is designed to melt both soft glass and borosilicate glass. This unit comes standard with long lasting Kanthal APM elements. These elements are specifically designed to be used in applications where artists are holding at high temperatures. Type S thermocouples last a very long time and perform extremely well in high temperatures and corrosive atmospheres. The solid state relays that also come standard on this furnace are virtually silent and are extremely reliable. The furnace is equipped with a six inch hole cut in the lid. This is topped by a hinged top hat door with a wood handle which is convenient and easy to use. Just post up your crucible in the furnace so the lip of the crucible is nearly flush with the bottom of the main lid. (Crucible and posts not included). The holes in the furnace lid can be cut at different sizes to accommodate different shaped crucibles. One of the main benefits of this furnace is the GlassMaster Controller.

The controller also includes features such as Delay Start, Programmable Temperature Alarm, Diagnostics (reads voltage and amperage), and much more. Chamber Width: 16.5" Chamber Depth: 18" CU.
