Choosing Your Pottery Wheel
NIDEC-SHIMPO has a variety of Pottery Wheels that can suit all of your needs. Which pottery wheel is right for me?
***Warning: The use of high acidic clays can be damaging to the surface of the aluminum wheel head, and may cause pre-mature oxidation, and pitting. We encourage the use of a bat between the surface of the aluminum wheel head, and the clay whenever possible.***
