STUDIO SERIES

The top and side firing elements on the GM814 and GM1014 make these units fire very evenly and allow for glass projects to heat at a uniform rate. With a 13.5" chamber height these kilns are much taller then other top firing kilns allowing for tall slumping and drop mold projects. They are equipped standard with the GlassMaster Controller which gives you the precision and versatility needed for complicated firing projects.

The Clam Shell Design - GM22CS

The Skutt Clam shell design glass kiln provides easy access to the glass for loading and manipulating. The Perfect Shape For Roll Ups.
The top chamber of the kiln retains the heat when the kiln is opened and the bottom allows room for heat to flow under the shelf for uniform heating.

The kiln holds a 20" shelf with room enough for your fingers for easy placement.
The elements are hung on a refractory rod which helps extend life and prevent particles from falling into the glass.

The unit is controlled by a GlassMaster wallmounted controller.

The Bead Kiln- GM10F

While perfect for annealing torch work beads this kiln is also an excellent fusing kiln for smaller projects.

The kiln comes standard with a side hinged door but can be ordered with the easy to operate bead door. Both doors come with wooden handles which are mounted away from the heat and allow you to open them without gloves.

The GlassMaster controller is also standard on this unit. The accurate and stable temperature provided by the controller is perfect for annealing.
Extremely portable and works on standard household current.

PRODUCTION SERIES

This extremely versatile line of kilns allows for fusing on multiple layers. With Zone Control standard, these models fire each section independently to insure even firing from the top to bottom. With chamber depths of up to 27 inches these kilns are great for large drop molds and annealing tall sculptural pieces.

GlassMaster 700 Controller

Designed by Glass Artists
The GlassMaster controller is the product of years of research. We asked artists and glass manufactures all over the country what features they would like to see in a controller. The result is a controller that's extremely easy to program and offers the flexibility of a wide array of innovative features.

Ease of Programming
The key layout on the GlassMaster is designed to be easy to understand and efficient. Multifunction keys allow you to load and review saved programs with a minimum amount of key strokes.

Adjustments can be made even during the firing without interruption. Beginners and professionals alike will appreciate the logical design of the layout.

Innovative Features
There are two programming modes available on the GlassMaster.

The Glass Fire Mode allows you to access factory installed programs designed for general fusing, slumping, and tack fusing. While the type of glass, the thickness, and the techniques may vary with each project there are some general heating and annealing principals that are common.

The Glass Fire Mode allows you to choose from 3 different firing speeds and since you control the point at which the kiln goes into the annealing phase this easy programming mode can be used quite often.

The Ramp Hold Mode allows you to design and store your own programs for specialized projects. You can you use up to 16 segments which consist of a temperature, a heating or cooling rate, and a hold time if one is desired. You can store up to 6 of your programs for easy recall.

The Add Time, Add Temp, and Anneal features allow you to control the final segment of the heating phase so the kiln begins annealing when you want it to.

The View key allows you to check the current segment. The display constantly displays the temperature and hold times throughout the firing.

New Skutt Controller with Current Sensing

GlassMaster with Easy View

From the outside there doesn't seem to be anything different about the New Kiln Controller by Skutt. The keys are the same and the steps for entering a program have not changed; but on the inside….

Current SensingNo more hiring expensive technicians to perform basic electrical tests. Every GlassMaster Skutt Kiln is now equipped with a current sensor that allows remote technicians to troubleshoot your kiln right over the phone, The current sensor reads your voltage and amperage with just a few easy keystrokes accessed from the completely redesigned Menu function key. It can also check the board temperature, LED readout and a host of other useful troubleshooting data.

New Safety FeaturesEver worry about a student or employee entering the wrong temperature and causing a meltdown in your kiln? You can now enter a maximum programmable temperature which makes it impossible. You can also program the kiln so it requires 2 key presses to start the program. This prevents accidental starts by curious passerbies.

New Easier to Read DisplayThere is a new 14 Segment LED display that allows for more descriptive prompts. No more deciphering cryptic messages.

These new controllers are now standard on every GlassMaster Kiln. Upgrades for older models are easy to install and available now.

GlassMaster Control Features

     
LED Display   The GlassMaster can be programed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
MENU allows access to advanced programming features. The Review key displays the program that is currently loaded.
If an error is made the programmer can press BACK to input the correct data. The Start key begins the program.
The Anneal key is pressed when the glass has attained the desired heatwork and the artist wishes to begin the annealing process. The Stop key will stop the program at any point in the firing.
Add Time key adds time to the final heating segment in increments of 5 minutes during the firing. The Glass Fire key accesses preset fusing, slumping, and tack fusing programs with choices of varying firing speeds.
Add Temp adds 5 degrees F of heat to the final heating segment. The Cycle key is used in conjunction with the Glass Fire and key to choose various options.
The View key will display the current segment of the firing program. Ramp Hold allows the professional to construct and store their own specialized firing programs. For quick access to stored Ramp Hold programs simply press the Recall key.

Here's how it works!

FAST 1/8" THICK -18" DIAMETER OR SMALLER
1/4" THICK - 4 " DIAMETEROR SMALLER
3/8" THICK - NOT RECOMMENDED
MEDIUM 1/8" THICK -20" DIAMETER OR SMALLER
1/4" THICK -8" DIAMETEROR SMALLER
3/8" THICK -5" DIAMETER OR SMALLER
SLOW 1/8" THICK -24" DIAMETER OR SMALLER
1/4" THICK - 18" DIAMETEROR SMALLER
3/8" THICK - 12" DIAMETER OR SMALLER
1/2" THICK - 8" DIAMETER OR SMALLER

In Glass Fire Mode all you need to do is match your project to the chart to determine the correct firing speed, choose whether you want to Full Fuse, Tack Fuse, or Slump, and press Start.
It’s that easy.





Use Ramp and Hold Mode for projects that require more specialized fire programs. In this mode you choose the number of segments, enter the Rate, Temperature and Hold Time for each segment and press start.
