Common questions
What types of steel can I heat treat in the KM14 Pro?
The 2350°F maximum temperature handles all common blade steels including high-carbon alloys (1095, 1084, 5160), tool steels (O1, A2, D2), and most stainless steels (440C, AEB-L, 154CM). For specialty steels requiring higher austenitizing temperatures like CPM S35VN or CPM M4 (typically 1900-2150°F), this oven provides adequate overhead. The dual chambers let you run hardening cycles in one barrel while tempering in the other, streamlining your workflow for production knifemaking.
Do I need to connect a gas system to the atmosphere inlet ports?
The atmosphere ports are optional but highly recommended for professional results. Running nitrogen or argon through the chambers during heat treating prevents oxidation and decarburization, eliminating scale formation and preserving surface carbon content for optimal edge performance. If you're working with high-alloy stainless steels or want bright, scale-free finishes, connecting an inert gas system significantly reduces post-heat-treat grinding and finishing time. You'll need a standard industrial gas regulator and appropriate hose fittings (available as accessories).
What controller comes standard and can it handle complex heat treat cycles?
Each chamber includes a Sentry Xpress 3 digital controller with programmable ramp-hold capabilities, allowing you to create multi-step heat treat programs for precise austenitizing, soak times, and tempering cycles. The Xpress 3 stores multiple programs and provides accurate ±2°F temperature control. For advanced features like USB data logging, touchscreen operation, or expanded program storage, you can upgrade either or both chambers to the Genesis touchscreen controller, which includes pre-programmed cycles for common knife steels.
How does the Double Barrel KM14 Pro compare to single-chamber knife ovens?
The double barrel configuration essentially gives you two complete heat treating ovens in one footprint, doubling your production capacity without requiring additional electrical circuits or workspace. You can harden blades in one chamber at 1475°F while simultaneously tempering a previous batch at 400°F in the second chamber, eliminating downtime between cycles. The independent controllers mean you're not limited to matching cycle times—run a long soak for thick stock in one barrel while completing quick cycles for thin blades in the other. For full-time knifemakers or small production shops, the dual-chamber design typically pays for itself in increased throughput within the first year.
Is this purchase covered under warranty, and does it matter where I buy it?
Paragon provides a one-year limited warranty on the KM14 Pro, but warranty coverage is valid only when purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery. You must register your oven within 30 days of delivery to activate warranty protection. Purchasing from unauthorized sellers or third-party marketplaces typically voids manufacturer warranty coverage and may result in receiving older inventory, modified units, or lacking technical support from Paragon's heat treating specialists. As an authorized dealer, we ensure you receive current-production units with full factory support and can assist with warranty claims if issues arise.
Not sure if the KM14 Pro is the right heat treating oven for your shop? Our kiln specialists can help you compare chamber sizes, voltage requirements, and production capacity needs—or discuss atmosphere systems and steel-specific requirements.

Shipping/Returns

Paragon Kilns Shipping & Returns

At Peach State Pottery, we want your Paragon kiln delivery experience to be as smooth and stress-free as possible. Paragon ships thousands of units each year, with only a small percentage experiencing freight issues. Understanding how freight delivery works will help ensure your kiln arrives safely and that you are prepared when it arrives.

Because many Paragon kilns are heavy, fragile, and shipped by freight carrier, it is important to understand the delivery process before your order arrives.

Shipping & Delivery

Small Paragon Kilns

Smaller Paragon kilns are generally shipped by FedEx or UPS, making delivery simple and convenient.

For your protection, Paragon requires a signature upon delivery. This gives you a moment to inspect the package before accepting it and helps ensure any visible issues are addressed right away.

Medium & Large Paragon Kilns

Medium and large Paragon kilns are delivered by commercial freight to the curbside or front of your driveway.

Standard freight delivery does not include:

  • Uncrating
  • Carrying the kiln inside
  • Placement in your studio, garage, home, or workspace
  • Setup or installation

Residential deliveries usually require liftgate service, which must be requested at the time of order. If liftgate service is not included, the customer will need access to a forklift, loading dock, or similar equipment to unload the pallet from the truck.

Access & Delivery Challenges

Please contact us before ordering if your delivery location has possible access issues, such as:

  • Gravel or dirt roads
  • Steep driveways
  • Narrow streets
  • Low-hanging trees or low clearances
  • Limited truck access
  • Rural or hard-to-reach delivery locations

Depending on your situation, possible options may include meeting the truck nearby, picking up the kiln at the freight terminal, or requesting delivery with a smaller box truck when available.

Unloading Your Kiln

Once your kiln arrives, the customer is responsible for moving the kiln from the delivery point to its final location unless a separate moving or installation service has been arranged.

Hire a Local Moving or Package-Handling Service

Many customers choose to hire a local moving or package-handling service experienced with heavy equipment. These teams can help off-load the crate and move the kiln into your workspace for an additional fee.

This option is especially helpful for larger kilns, tight spaces, or customers who do not have the proper unloading equipment available.

Unload the Kiln Yourself

If you prefer to handle unloading yourself, make sure you have the proper equipment and enough help available. Depending on the kiln size and weight, this may require a pallet jack, dolly, forklift, loading dock, or similar equipment.

Planning ahead before delivery helps make the unloading process safer and smoother.

Inspecting Your Shipment

All Paragon shipments are FOB origin, meaning ownership transfers when the kiln leaves Paragon’s facility. Inspection upon delivery is essential.

Please inspect your shipment carefully before signing for delivery.

If There Is Minor Visible Damage

  • Note the damage on the delivery paperwork before signing.
  • Take clear photos of the packaging and any visible damage.
  • Accept the shipment if the damage appears minor.
  • Inspect the kiln immediately after unpacking.
  • Contact Peach State Pottery as soon as possible.

If There Is Severe Visible Damage

  • Refuse the shipment if the damage appears severe.
  • Take detailed photos before refusal.
  • Contact Peach State Pottery right away.

If You Discover Concealed Damage

Concealed damage is damage discovered after the kiln has been unpacked.

  • Notify the carrier and Peach State Pottery as soon as possible.
  • Keep all packaging materials.
  • Take detailed photos and/or video.
  • Report the issue within 5 days of delivery.

Photo & Video Documentation

Before opening the crate or box, take clear photos or video of the packaging from all sides.

Continue documenting as you unpack, especially if you notice broken crate boards, crushed packaging, holes in the box, visible impact marks, or any visible damage to the kiln or accessories.

This documentation is essential to help support a freight claim if damage is discovered.

If a claim is needed, documentation may include the carrier’s claim form, bill of lading, Paragon invoice, freight bill, inspection report, photos, videos, and repair estimate.

 Common questions What types of steel can I heat treat in the KM14 Pro? The 2350°F maximum temperature handles all common blade steels including high-carbon alloys (1095, 1084, 5160), tool steels (O1, A2, D2), and most stainless steels (440C, AEB-L, 154CM). For specialty steels requiring higher austenitizing temperatures like CPM S35VN or CPM M4 (typically 1900-2150°F), this oven provides adequate overhead. The dual chambers let you run hardening cycles in one barrel while tempering in the other, streamlining your workflow for production knifemaking. Do I need to connect a gas system to the atmosphere inlet ports? The atmosphere ports are optional but highly recommended for professional results. Running nitrogen or argon through the chambers during heat treating prevents oxidation and decarburization, eliminating scale formation and preserving surface carbon content for optimal edge performance. If you're working with high-alloy stainless steels or want bright, scale-free finishes, connecting an inert gas system significantly reduces post-heat-treat grinding and finishing time. You'll need a standard industrial gas regulator and appropriate hose fittings (available as accessories). What controller comes standard and can it handle complex heat treat cycles? Each chamber includes a Sentry Xpress 3 digital controller with programmable ramp-hold capabilities, allowing you to create multi-step heat treat programs for precise austenitizing, soak times, and tempering cycles. The Xpress 3 stores multiple programs and provides accurate ±2°F temperature control. For advanced features like USB data logging, touchscreen operation, or expanded program storage, you can upgrade either or both chambers to the Genesis touchscreen controller, which includes pre-programmed cycles for common knife steels. How does the Double Barrel KM14 Pro compare to single-chamber knife ovens? The double barrel configuration essentially gives you two complete heat treating ovens in one footprint, doubling your production capacity without requiring additional electrical circuits or workspace. You can harden blades in one chamber at 1475°F while simultaneously tempering a previous batch at 400°F in the second chamber, eliminating downtime between cycles. The independent controllers mean you're not limited to matching cycle times—run a long soak for thick stock in one barrel while completing quick cycles for thin blades in the other. For full-time knifemakers or small production shops, the dual-chamber design typically pays for itself in increased throughput within the first year. Is this purchase covered under warranty, and does it matter where I buy it? Paragon provides a one-year limited warranty on the KM14 Pro, but warranty coverage is valid only when purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery. You must register your oven within 30 days of delivery to activate warranty protection. Purchasing from unauthorized sellers or third-party marketplaces typically voids manufacturer warranty coverage and may result in receiving older inventory, modified units, or lacking technical support from Paragon's heat treating specialists. As an authorized dealer, we ensure you receive current-production units with full factory support and can assist with warranty claims if issues arise. Not sure if the KM14 Pro is the right heat treating oven for your shop? Our kiln specialists can help you compare chamber sizes, voltage requirements, and production capacity needs—or discuss atmosphere systems and steel-specific requirements. Talk to an expert →
Shipping/Returns

Paragon Kilns Shipping & Returns

At Peach State Pottery, we want your Paragon kiln delivery experience to be as smooth and stress-free as possible. Paragon ships thousands of units each year, with only a small percentage experiencing freight issues. Understanding how freight delivery works will help ensure your kiln arrives safely and that you are prepared when it arrives.

Because many Paragon kilns are heavy, fragile, and shipped by freight carrier, it is important to understand the delivery process before your order arrives.

Shipping & Delivery

Small Paragon Kilns

Smaller Paragon kilns are generally shipped by FedEx or UPS, making delivery simple and convenient.

For your protection, Paragon requires a signature upon delivery. This gives you a moment to inspect the package before accepting it and helps ensure any visible issues are addressed right away.

Medium & Large Paragon Kilns

Medium and large Paragon kilns are delivered by commercial freight to the curbside or front of your driveway.

Standard freight delivery does not include:

  • Uncrating
  • Carrying the kiln inside
  • Placement in your studio, garage, home, or workspace
  • Setup or installation

Residential deliveries usually require liftgate service, which must be requested at the time of order. If liftgate service is not included, the customer will need access to a forklift, loading dock, or similar equipment to unload the pallet from the truck.

Access & Delivery Challenges

Please contact us before ordering if your delivery location has possible access issues, such as:

  • Gravel or dirt roads
  • Steep driveways
  • Narrow streets
  • Low-hanging trees or low clearances
  • Limited truck access
  • Rural or hard-to-reach delivery locations

Depending on your situation, possible options may include meeting the truck nearby, picking up the kiln at the freight terminal, or requesting delivery with a smaller box truck when available.

Unloading Your Kiln

Once your kiln arrives, the customer is responsible for moving the kiln from the delivery point to its final location unless a separate moving or installation service has been arranged.

Hire a Local Moving or Package-Handling Service

Many customers choose to hire a local moving or package-handling service experienced with heavy equipment. These teams can help off-load the crate and move the kiln into your workspace for an additional fee.

This option is especially helpful for larger kilns, tight spaces, or customers who do not have the proper unloading equipment available.

Unload the Kiln Yourself

If you prefer to handle unloading yourself, make sure you have the proper equipment and enough help available. Depending on the kiln size and weight, this may require a pallet jack, dolly, forklift, loading dock, or similar equipment.

Planning ahead before delivery helps make the unloading process safer and smoother.

Inspecting Your Shipment

All Paragon shipments are FOB origin, meaning ownership transfers when the kiln leaves Paragon’s facility. Inspection upon delivery is essential.

Please inspect your shipment carefully before signing for delivery.

If There Is Minor Visible Damage

  • Note the damage on the delivery paperwork before signing.
  • Take clear photos of the packaging and any visible damage.
  • Accept the shipment if the damage appears minor.
  • Inspect the kiln immediately after unpacking.
  • Contact Peach State Pottery as soon as possible.

If There Is Severe Visible Damage

  • Refuse the shipment if the damage appears severe.
  • Take detailed photos before refusal.
  • Contact Peach State Pottery right away.

If You Discover Concealed Damage

Concealed damage is damage discovered after the kiln has been unpacked.

  • Notify the carrier and Peach State Pottery as soon as possible.
  • Keep all packaging materials.
  • Take detailed photos and/or video.
  • Report the issue within 5 days of delivery.

Photo & Video Documentation

Before opening the crate or box, take clear photos or video of the packaging from all sides.

Continue documenting as you unpack, especially if you notice broken crate boards, crushed packaging, holes in the box, visible impact marks, or any visible damage to the kiln or accessories.

This documentation is essential to help support a freight claim if damage is discovered.

If a claim is needed, documentation may include the carrier’s claim form, bill of lading, Paragon invoice, freight bill, inspection report, photos, videos, and repair estimate.
