We are looking to move from our Paragon TnF28 kilns, real workhorses for
many years now into more industrial kilns that are more powerful.
Has anyone on the list had experience with the L and L "Davinci" series of
square and rectangular kilns or the Frederickson kilns (shuttles and car)
that are being marketed by Bailey?
While the multisided kilns such as Paragon, Skut, etc etc are fine, we need
to move into the square or rectangular configurations that will
economically hold more ware. Also, some of these higher powered electrics
are sized so that we can use our 14 x 28 kln shelves.
We are alsointhe process of changing elements in one the Paragons to a set
of higher powered elements that Chris at Euclids sent us as an interim
solution. I'l post the results.
I have used L and L years ago and really liked the element holders, and
they still usethem in all their kilns.
Any comments?
TIA
Jonathan

Jonathan,
I cannot heap enough praise upon the Fedrickson kiln. Been to the shop
where they are made and have seen them hold up the the abuses common in
an educational enviroment. They are tough kilns and no shortcuts are
made in fabrication. Freddy is the kilnmaster at alfred, and the guy
who makes the kilns. Hes hard to get a hold of but shure to return your
call.
