Built for Lampwork Annealing and Cool-Down Workflows
The Hot Shot 18A is purpose-built for lampwork and small-scale annealing. Drop your hot work straight in, run a controlled cool-down, and pull stress-free pieces that won't crack later.The 18"Dx18"WX18"H interior chamber is sized for the work this oven was designed to do.
It reaches 1100°F, plenty for soft glass and most hard glass annealing schedules. It runs on a standard 120V household outlet at 15 amps — no electrical upgrade needed.
Every Hot Shot oven is built in West Bend, Wisconsin and ships with the brand's patent-pending Cool-to-Touch Technology — the exterior stays safe to handle even at full temperature, thanks to a fan-cooled stainless steel core inside a powder-coated shell. Kanthal A1 heating elements, a Type K thermocouple, and a solid-state relay come standard.
