Skutt KM-818 Electric Kiln

a Customer — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:41:34 +0000

Need a small economical kiln? Bought this used kiln as a test kiln, but now I don’t have the space for it.
This has the Skutt KilnMaster programable computerized firing system. New these sell for $1350.

Now your friendly eight sided Skutt electric kiln can give you precise firing control that was available only on top of the line models just a few years ago. It is a versatile Cone 10 kiln that is a great work tool for porcelain and stoneware artists. Easy to move and economical to operate, the KM-818 is the perfect kiln for home studios, too.
