Why Have a Heat Treating Furnace in Your Shop?
When you’re crafting serious blades, you need serious control. With your own furnace, you can stop outsourcing, start experimenting, and take total ownership of your results. The KM36 Pro Double Barrel gives you everything you need to fine-tune steel performance, reduce turnaround times, and master your heat treatment.
Why Choose the PARAGON KM36 Pro Double Barrel?
This kiln combines the precision of 3-zone control with the speed of ceramic fiber insulation and the flexibility of a high-volume chamber. Whether you're heat treating a full rack of knives, extra-wide blades, or complex jigs, the KM36 Pro Double Barrel delivers the consistency and efficiency your process demands.
3-Zone Temperature Control: Three exposed-tip thermocouples placed at front, middle, and rear give independent control for even heating from end to end
Special Limit Thermocouples: 14-gauge sensors respond quickly to temperature changes for tight zone accuracy
Solid-State Relays: Three long-life SSRs with aluminum heat sinks and backup safety relay ensure silent, stable operation
2.5” Ceramic Fiber Insulation: Rapid heating and cooling means shorter cycles and better energy efficiency
Surface-Mounted Elements: Broad, even heat from “wavy” wall elements extends element life and supports uniform hardening
Guillotine Door: Vertical spring-assisted design opens upward and away, keeping hot surfaces at a safe distance while saving shop space
Heavy-duty steel case with built-in stand: Engineered for real-world durability and all-day use
