Description
This
Wheel is in stock. It comes
with a SSX foot controller at no additional costProduction Potter’s Dream
The combination of the Built-In Splash Pan, Heavy Duty
Frame, and ridiculously strong motor make the Classic a popular choice with
production potters. Upgrade to the ultra-silky smooth performance of the SSX
controller and you may never have to make another potter’s wheel purchase
again.
Everything on this wheel is stout!
Potters can put a lot of force on a wheel. We use them to
brace our legs, we push around clay on the wheel head, heck sometimes we even
stand on it. You want that base to feel solid.
The frame of the Classic is made of powder coated, 5/16 cast aluminum. The
legs are 1/8 thick steel. The wheel head is the thickest on the market and the
motor is the biggest.
The Motor
Skutt is the only company we know of that uses a Continuous
Duty motor. These motors are tested under much more rigorous conditions, so
they need to be built tougher. That means heavy duty components that can stand
up to the strain students (and big pot potters) can subject them to. Sometimes
bigger is better.
The Wheel Head
The Wheel Head on all Skutt Electric Wheels is removable!
No, not with a screwdriver and a PHD in Engineering, just twist and pull up.
This innovative design allows you to have full access to your splash pan for
cleaning. If you have one of our removable splash pan designs you will
definitely appreciate our one piece splash pan. No longer will you need to fuss
with cleaning out your splash pan before you can bring it to the sink to clean
like two piece pans. Just bring it straight to your clay reclaimer or trash can
and dump it. It is that easy! It is also the thickest wheel head on the market
so it will never wear thin, will not flex, and is nearly impossible to bend.
The Controller
Okay, this might get a little technical. Our controllers
use only the highest quality components. If you look at our controller side by
side with competitors, you will see that ours is often twice the size. This
allows for larger, more robust components that are spaced properly to reduce
heat.
The Shaft
The biggest test of your wheel head shaft is to turn it loose
on a big pot potter Like Scott Semple. Scott throws pots on over-sized bats
that are over 6 ft tall. When you get that much clay, cantilevered out, that
highit puts a tremendous amount of stress on your shaft.
The shaft on a Skutt wheel is nearly twice the diameter of the competition.
If you are looking for a wheel you can pick up and take on
a picnic, this one might not be for you. If you are looking for a wheel that
will last a lifetimelook no further.
