LinLA Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I have the opportunity to purchase a barely used Cress Electric K10 kiln. They are asking $700. It has been used only twice. I am a novice. Would this kiln be a good one for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 K10 is an unfamiliar model to me. I believe Cress kilns usually begin with FX, E or A,B,C. It might be a great value but I would suggest you post size, type control, pictures and operating voltage / amperage requirements, to get some informed opinions here. It might be the best deal ever, but hard to compare without knowing what to compare it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I'm not seeing that model anywhere on their web site. Post some pics, or at least let us know what the info on the serial plate says regarding voltage, watts, max temp, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 seeing one listing for a Cress B1414 as a "K10" - 1.4 cubic foot, 16 amp, cone 10 Does it have an auto controller? Firing "manually" is ok, just have to watch carefully, especially the first few times ...that said, a controller is in my future. As for fit, your cycle (raw clay to finished pieces) would be much shorter with such a small kiln - fewer pieces. Up to you on that; I went with a seven cubic foot, near the other extreme in size (for a beginner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
