Don't be fooled by the name, the Hobbyfuser is a serious glass kiln. The kiln is built for a long life span and we have no worries at all in issuing the kiln with a 2 year guarantee on all parts INCLUDING the elements.
When the kiln was in development it was run at 950°C and held for 1 hour over 40 times. At the end of the trial we stripped the kiln down and even we were amazed at the lack of deterioration we came across.
Whichever way you look at it, the Hobbyfuser is a very hardy kiln. The kiln lid is made from stainless steel and lined out with non-ceramic fibre, press cut and fitted with the use of a hydraulic compressing machine, in a quite unique way for kilns of this type. This method of insulation removes the danger of brick dust or particles dropping onto the glass, so making for a very clean firing environment. It also makes the Hobbyfuser incredibly resistant to shock damage.
In the centre of the lid is a vent hole which comes with a matching plug. This is positioned to the rear of the chamber to avoid particle contamination on the glass.
The heating system is in the roof only and utilises the latest technology "infra-red" quartz tube heating elements. This method is extremely hard wearing and strong, yet in the event of an element failure the tubes are both easy and cheap to replace.
The elements are switched off when the lid is opened by an automatic safety switch.
The base section of the chamber is made from refractory brick and made in such a way that the bricks can be easily replaced without the need for cement etc. 
With only approximately 2 thirds of the available height being in the base it means that access to the floor is not restricted by high walls.
The pre-fitted control is the [KCR1 controller], which is detailed on the controls section of our web site. It has 9 programs, each having 9 segments. each segment consists of 1 x rate of climb, 1 x target temperature and 1 x dwell/hold.
The Hobbyfuser comes complete with a 13 amp plug top and fully complies to all European and CE requirements.
We build the Hobbyfuser here, in Stoke on Trent, so parts and service will never be an issue.
The Hobbyfuser Midi is built to the exact same specification as the Hobbyfuser.
