Product Specification
PARAGON KM36 Pro: Performance and Precision at Full Length
The PARAGON KM36 Pro is engineered for bladesmiths who craft long blades and demand total control. With its 36" depth and 3-zone precision, this kiln offers the performance needed for swords, machetes, and multi-blade batches—without compromising speed or uniformity.
Why Have a Heat Treating Furnace in Your Shop?
Owning a heat treating furnace gives you the power to explore, experiment, and refine your process. From multi-step quenching to differential hardening and beyond, the KM36 Pro makes every variable yours to command. It's not just about convenience—it's about owning the results.
Why Choose the PARAGON KM36 Pro?
The KM36 Pro is the go-to kiln for professionals who need length, control, and speed. Its 3-zone SENTINEL controller keeps temperatures consistent across the entire 36" chamber, and its ceramic fiber body ensures fast heating, efficient soaking, and quick cooldowns between cycles.
-
Interior chamber: 5.5" W x 4.3" H x 36" D (0.49 cubic feet)
-
3-Zone Temperature Control: Three exposed-tip thermocouples (at 3", 18", and 33") allow independent control of each zone for precise temperature distribution
-
Special Limit Thermocouples: 14-gauge, fast-response sensors deliver real-time accuracy during ramping and holds
-
Solid-State Relays: Three relays mounted to aluminum heat sinks offer quiet, long-lasting operation with an additional safety relay
-
2.5” Ceramic Fiber Insulation: Heats quickly, cools down fast, and maintains even soak temperatures efficiently
-
Surface-Mounted “Wavy” Elements: Positioned along chamber walls for broad, even thermal coverage and enhanced element life
-
Guillotine Door: Lifts vertically and stays out of the way—ideal for tight shops and safer one-handed loading
-
Rugged steel case with integrated stand: Durable, stable, and built for professional shops
