Description

Versatile Firing with Olympic FL4.5E Commercial Kiln

If you need a front-loading pottery kiln with space for bigger projects, the Olympic FL4.5E is built for you. Its 4.5 cubic foot chamber (18" x 18" x 24") gives plenty of room for vases, dinnerware sets, or classroom loads of mugs. You can fire up to Cone 10 (2350°F), so stoneware, porcelain, and most glazes are all within reach.

The FL4.5E’s digital controller makes scheduling firings simple and accurate. Features like delay start, preheat, and cone offset mean you spend less time guessing and more time creating. Its welded steel frame and stainless jacket are designed to last through frequent firings, while the breaker box and safety features keep operation worry-free.

Whether you’re running a home studio, teaching in a community centre, or managing a busy workshop, this kiln helps you fire consistently, safely, and with confidence in every load.
