Olympic Kilns 314 Slider Glass Firing Kiln

Introducing the Olympic Kilns 314 Slider, a game-changer for glass artists who prioritize precision, efficiency, and ease of use. Featuring a unique clamshell design and sliding floor, this kiln offers a spacious 25″ x 25″ wide by 13.5″ deep firing chamber, making loading and handling your glass projects effortless. The sliding floor extends a full 62 inches from front to back, providing unmatched accessibility and control during the firing process. Whether you’re working on complex multi-layer fusions or delicate glass raking, the 314 Slider ensures your work is handled with precision and care.

Superior Heating for Consistent, Flawless Results
The 314 Slider is engineered to deliver even, consistent heat throughout the firing chamber, ensuring that your glass pieces are perfectly fused every time. It features a dual-element system, with an element in the lid for radiant heat and elements in the walls for conductive heat. This combination ensures uniform heating, minimizing the risk of cold spots and guaranteeing that every piece is fired to perfection. With a maximum temperature of 1700°F, the 314 Slider is versatile enough to accommodate a wide range of glass techniques, from basic slumping to advanced fusing.

Built to Last, Designed for Ease
Constructed with a durable stainless steel jacket and mounted on a robust 18” heavy-angle iron stand, the 314 Slider is built for longevity and ease of use in any studio. Its gas strut-assisted lid and ergonomic wooden handle make opening and closing the kiln effortless, even when working with large or heavy pieces. The kiln comes standard with the Digital KilnStar controller, providing intuitive, precise control over firing schedules. The KilnStar makes it easy to manage each stage of the firing process with accuracy and consistency, ensuring professional-quality results.

For those seeking even more control, the Genesis touchscreen controller is available as an upgrade. The Genesis offers an advanced, user-friendly interface with expanded programming capabilities, making it an excellent choice for artists who want additional flexibility and customization.

Tailor Your Kiln with Customizable Options
The 314 Slider can be further enhanced to meet the needs of more demanding projects. The KilnStar and Genesis controllers both offer advanced features such as delay start, preheat, and skip step, allowing for precise ramp-hold programming. Additional customization options, such as flash arms for quick venting and quartz glass viewing windows for real-time monitoring, provide even greater control and flexibility during the firing process.
