The LB Series side-element-only design was inspired by culinary and long-blade makers as well as the knife making community as a whole. Knife makers needed to use the entire length of the chamber without overheating their blades at the back wall. Evenheat took a fresh look at our designs and created the side-only heating element LB Series.
The results are incredible: front to back temperature distribution is dead-nut. Whether you're making culinary, tactical, fixed blades, folders, doing gun work or something else entirely, the LB Series sets the new standard!
The LB Series represents the ultimate mix of bladesmith input and Evenheat design. As the predecessor of the KF Series, which was a top-seller in the knife-making market, the LB is quite simply the finest heat treat oven on the planet!
Features
Side-Only Element Design
The LB Series design was inspired, in part, by culinary bladesmiths who generally make long, thin blades blades. These bladesmiths needed to use the entire length of the chamber without overheating their blades at the back wall. Evenheat took a fresh look, got rid of the rear wall heating element, and nailed it.
The front to back temperature distribution in the LB is incredibly even. Positioning in the chamber has no effect and the entire length can be used.
Side Opening Door
Heat treating requires the removing of some very hot material from the chamber in order to quench. Everything in the chamber is hot, which includes the door. The doors on the LB's swing out and to the side, a full 180° if you need it. This puts the super-heated door well away from you as you concentrate on the work at hand.
The side opening door is an excellent design choice and makes all the difference.
Cool Touch Handle
The handle/latch on our swing out door is conveniently located at the front of the door, not hidden along the side. This spring loaded, phenolic handle is cool to the touch, is one-handed in design and serves as the door latch as well.
Door Shield
The LB's feature a door shield to provide protection against firebrick damage as well as to reduce the temperature seen at the door and door handle.
2200°F (1204°C) Maximum Temperature
The maximum usable temperature for the LB models is 2200°F (1204°C). This maximum is well within the range for the vast majority of steels used by knife makers and machine shops.
Swing View Control Enclosure
All temperature controls used on the LB's are fitted into our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure.
The Swing View is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across the shop. It's that simple.
The swing view pairs well with TAP touchscreen control as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.
Strong Stand and Tool Rest
The LB's feature our updated stand design that delivers a strong, supportive base and tool rest
Quiet Drive Solid State Relay
Evenheat's patented Quiet Drive Solid State Relay is hands down the best investment you can make in your kiln!
With no moving parts, this relay is able to be triggered up to 60 times a second as opposed to the upper limit of 10 times a second on the default mechanical relay. This means incredibly tight temperature control ensuring each and every one of your firings is as accurate as possible.
The Quiet Drive uses a special method call "Zero Crossing" that will ensure that the heating elements are off when the voltage is at 0V - Giving your heating elements a break so that they will last longer, and you'll save energy!
The best part though? Since there are no moving parts - the Quiet Drive Solid State relay should never need replacing! You will save money and time by never needing to worry about this in the future!
Controller Selection
Evenheat has close relationships with the manufacturers of a variety of digital controllers. This means you will have nothing but the best the best in terms of performance and accuracy in your firings.
With a selection of multiple controllers available - you can choose exactly what fits your needs.
TAP Touchscreen Smart Controller by SDS Industries
The top of the line. The bread and butter. The cream of the crop. The controller for those who want to make their lives easier, improve their craft, and make incredible quality products.
This is our top selling controller - And for good reason!
The TAP Smart Controller is without a doubt the best choice on the market right now - It's easy to use, has stellar performance, and is packed full with features!
It has more memory than any other controller, allowing you to more easily utilize, revise, and save many different kinds of firing programs.
Storage for firing programs is virtually unlimited! Create as many profiles, with as many steps as you'd like - you won't be limited by this controller.
Our favorite part though: When ordered with the Wi-Fi Dongle, you can control everything from any device! Prefer to work on your computer or tablet - how about your phone?
With an internet connection to your TAP Smart Controller, updates from SDS Industries can be applied to your controller automatically - ensuring you always have the most up-to-date software for years to come!
Easily adjust the in-progress firing, skip steps, and view all graphical information on your firing with just a "TAP"!
The amount of time you save by working with the TAP Smart Controller pays for itself for years to come - you'll be so happy with this investment that you won't know how you managed so long without it.
The TAP Smart Controller supports the Loud Alarm option.
Rampmaster
The Rampmaster provides additional versatility over the Set-Pro controller.
With a numerical keypad,
it allows the operators to create up to 12 firing programs, each including up to 8 segments.
Need to make adjustments as you go? On-the-fly adjustments and other menu functions are available to provide additional control and create your ideal firing profile.
The Rampmaster also supports the Loud Alarm option.
Loud Alarm Option
Don't worry about missing when your firing or treatment is complete - With the loud alarm option you'll slice through any loud shop to the tune of 80 decibels!
The Loud Alarm Option will notify you when your ideal temperature and hold has been reached, and more importantly - when it's over!
The TAP Smart and Rampmaster III controllers support a built-in jack for an easy install; simply plug it in!
MK Blade Fixture
A necessity for all knife makers! The MK 1 and MK 2 Blade Fixtures are used to hold your knives in place during heat treating.
The MK 1 will hold 4 blades, and while it is designed for the Evenheat KH series, it will fit in the KO, KF, and LB series as well.
The MK 2 will hold 6 blades and is designed for the Evenheat KO, KF, and LB series. It will not fit the KH models.
Power Interrupt Switch / Automatic Lid Shutoff
The power interrupt switch is a useful safety feature which removes power from the heating elements of your kiln once it is opened, and reapplies the power once the lid has been closed.
If you believe you'd ever like to open the kiln during firing, the power interrupt switch is a highly recommended addition to your new purchase.
Quench Tank
The quench tank is a compact and reliable solution for professional knife makers. Crafted with high-quality 6" square steel tubing, it offers durability and a generous 3-gallon capacity.
Measuring 24" deep and 26" tall (including bolt-on feet), it fits well in any workspace.
The 5.75" square opening with a 0.120" wall thickness allows for easy knife insertion and retrieval.
It features a 1/8" thick steel lid and welded handles for convenience.
Heat & Abrasion Resistant Kevlar Gloves
Kevlar Gloves - heat and abrasion resistant - industrial grade professional welder's choice - for use up to 1000F (535C) - do not contain asbestos - 14" (35 cm) length.
Crafted from superior-quality Kevlar material, these gloves offer exceptional resistance to heat, sparks, and molten metal splatter, ensuring maximum safety during every job.
Safety first - always; dealing with hot metal is a lesson any metal worker will say you only need to learn once!

Soul Ceramics did a great job communicating through the entire process, and I ended up choosing an option that had to be built to order, so it took about 5 weeks to receive. I got regular weekly updates as well as prompt answers to all my questions. The LB27 EvenHeat Kiln I got with the TAP Controller is a top quality product and bigger than I will likely need, but I didn’t want to limit myself in the future so I’m happy with the extra length. I was a bit worried about learning how to program the oven, but it was incredibly easy to use! Overall I’m immensely happy with my purchase and will highly recommend Soul Ceramics and EvenHeat to anyone interested.
I ordered my EvenHeat LB27 as an upgrade to my old top loader Olympic, I had so many questions leading into this upgrade and the team at soul ceramics were quick to respond and very helpful.
There were some delays in manufacturing but the team kept me in the loop with weekly updates. The unit shipped very well packaged and secured to a sturdy crate. Delivery went swimmingly.
I really couldn’t be happier with my decision to go with Soul Ceramics! Great team.
I have nothing but good things to say about my new Evenheat LB18! I finally got my electrical wiring done and was able to get the LB18 up and running. Ran it through its paces and everything works like a charm. Highly recommend the TAP controller and door interrupt switch.
Best of all, was my experience with the Soul Ceramics team! Once my order was placed, I received weekly updates as to the status of my order. It’s really nice knowing how things are progressing when you lay out a large investment on a product with significant lead time. You’re not left guessing. And, it was delivered ahead of the estimated date! Thanks Soul Ceramics!!
~2 month lead time on the oven and I was kept well informed. Excellent customer service.
Have used this unit 7 times to date. I think it’s a great product, well designed and well built. I like everything about it but the key pad on the controller. The keys are very small and tedious to use. Not a big deal.
The oven came on time and crated nicely. Was happy with the updates throughout the entire ordering process. Haven't got a chance to fire it up yet still have to run some electrical but it is pristine and looking forward to many years of nice service from it.
The hype behind Soul Ceramic and Evenheat is justified! If I ever had any questions I could just just send over an email and whoever responded was quick, super friendly, and helpful. The package arrived in perfect condition and all I had to do was plug the kiln in test it out. The Evenheat works great so far and I can’t wait to use it more.
You guys are awesome! The oven came very well packaged, and I liked the weekly updates.
Soul ceramics has the best customer service of any company I’ve dealt with to date. The package was delivered and was damaged in transit (not their fault) and they worked hard to get a replacement in a short period of time. They were easy to work with and gave me continuous updates on the progress of the replacement kiln. I would highly recommend using them for any purchase.
So far so good. Amazing packaging. More to follow.

This warranty does not cover (1) any defect not reported to an authorized SPS dealer or distributor within 10 days of discovery; (2) Type K Thermocouples; (3) any damage caused by overfiring; (4) products subjected to abnormal strain, freight damage, neglect, abuse, improper storage, failure to follow instructions, or products altered from factory standard condition; (5) products whose identification number has been changed; (6) failures of, or failures caused by, parts or accessories not manufactured or supplied by SPS; (7) kilns used for purposes other than firing ceramic materials; (8) kilns used for reduction or salt firing; (9) repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part of the equipment as a whole; or (10) failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.
How To Obtain Warranty Service: Notify SPS or your SPS distributor within 10 days of discovery of any defect. Deliver any defective part, freight prepaid, to an authorized SPS service center. Other Limitations: Any special, incidental, or consequential damages, including property damage, lost profits, loss of use, or other economic loss, are excluded to the full extent permitted by state law. . Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. Any implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the duration of this limited warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
State Law Rights: This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
How to Request Warranty Service: All repair work must be authorized, either by SPS, or by an authorized SPS distributor, before the work is done. If you believe your kiln is going to require warranty servicing, the first step is to call the SPS distributor from whom you purchased the kiln. If they are unable to provide or coordinate service, call Seattle Pottery Supply and ask for our Technical Service Department for troubleshooting. 206-587-0570
