Designed for Knife Makers: Hot Shot HS24K Knife Makers Kiln
Engineered for serious knife makers, blacksmiths, and heat-treating professionals who require extra-length capacity and professional-grade precision. The HS24K features a 24" deep chamber, side-mounted heating elements for even heat, and a Cool-Touch exterior to keep your workspace safer and cooler to handle.
Long-Blade Capability: 24" Deep Chamber
Interior dimensions measure 24" long by 8" wide by 7" high, making it ideal for full-sized knives, swords, and longer tooling. The generous depth allows tip-to-tang processing without compromising airflow or temperature control.
Fast, Reliable Heat: High Temperature with Quick Heat-Up
Maximum temperature reaches 2200°F (1204°C), suitable for common knife steels and tempering cycles. The unit heats to temperature in about 35 minutes, so you can spend more time crafting and less time waiting. Exterior stays cooler to the touch thanks to Cool-Touch technology and a dual-layer air-cooled shell.
Even Heat and Safe Operation
- Side-mounted heating elements eliminate hot and cold spots for uniform results.
- Solid-state relays (SSR) deliver quiet, precise temperature control and longer element life.
- Dual cooling fans and rear-mounted cooling ensure consistent internal temperatures.
- Full swing side-opening door with a stainless-steel handle enables safe, one-handed loading and easy maintenance access.
- Safety door switch cuts power to heating elements when the door is opened.
Controller Flexibility
Out of the box, the HS24K includes Tap & Go control as standard. For advanced control, choose Spark touchscreen or TAP II with real-time app monitoring. A programmable alarm notifies you when target temperatures or program stages are reached, helping you coordinate complex heat-treat cycles.
Expandability and Accessories
Built to deliver essential capabilities without hidden add-ons, with optional upgrades to fit your workflow:
- Argon Gas Kit: Includes tubing, fittings, and a ceramic dispensing needle to reduce oxidation during annealing, brazing, and stainless-steel heat treating.
- Standard Rolling Stand with Locking Casters: Adds mobility with a middle shelf and rolling capabilities. Available with one or two shelves.
- Quench Tank: 3-gallon welded steel tank, 24" deep × 26" tall with bolt-on feet, lid, and welded handles—ideal for oil or water quenching.
