Wire Tool for ceramics that resists kinks
One day I just had it with my cheap wire tool so I used some beading wire that I had in my jewelry supplies and replaced it with that. It worked quite well and I have not gotten a kink yet! (although I may have gotten a knot I corrected it before it became a kink.
Use the highest strand count beading wire for maximum flexibility. Nylon coated stainless is pretty nice. Thickness is up to your preference.

KilnSitter to Touchscreen Conversion
มุมมอง 4.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I show how I converted my Skutt 1018 KS to a Skutt 1018 KM with touchscreen control. It is not exactly a how to, but shows how I did it. Follow me on Instagram @roycroftron Tools and parts I used: Thermocoupler. www.theceramicshop.com/product/10880/type-k-thermocouple-skutt-6/ Control Box. www.theceramicshop.com/product/16461/skutt-kilnmaster-box-1227pk-3p/ High Temp Conectors. ww...
Oh gosh!... with a new automatic kiln I can fire just like the masters... thank you airhead kiln company.
Did you have to change the elements when you did this? I'm going to try and update my kiln sitter to a digital control box but the IT at skutt said I should switch out the elements.
I did not have to change elements.. that should not matter if your elements are in good shape and you are not going with a new voltage. Elements are specific to voltage and phase.
What has me confused is I didn't see a relay or a transformer. Was a relay/transformer added?
The relays are inside of the unit from skutt, I swapped the control units out and the new unit has relays inside instead of the dials that the old kilnsitter had.
Oh wow that make it even easier than I expected. thank you for the response by the way. I see they offer the complete box for 675. If it has relays and everything that is a super deal. thank you @@mudandmetalart879
Incredibly clean kiln
And it was a freebie. Sometimes the universe smiles on us.
The kiln that you digitized looks like it was never fired. It’s a beautiful kiln.
It is a pretty good condition unit. I think it was used less than a dozen times. There was one spot in the bricks that had a little bang damage.
Just replaced all of the elements in my Skutt 1027. Much harder than when I did it 20 years ago. Thinking about a controller, this video is very helpful. Did you sell your Kiln Sutter?
I am a teacher and gave the old kiln sitter to a student who was rehabbing a kiln. Yeah repurpose!
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing this!
Excellent info!!! Thanks so much. Someone just gave me an old kiln with a kiln sitter. I need to convert to digital. SO HAPPY.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this .. .I just purchased a KilnMaster controller (non touch screen) and was looking for just this kind of video. Nicely done.
Glad it could help you out!
Did you buy a control box then additionally buy the touch pad?
You can buy a new control box with the touch pad already attached. Cheaper that way actually. I put a link to what I bought in the description.
