Product Description

Here is a sturdy and reliable new wheel from one of the best-known names in pottery supplies. Since 1969 American Art Clay Co. has been making top-notch wheels. This model, the IE, is a great choice for the hobby potter that wants a wheel that will last and give steady, reliable performance. The wheel handles up to 75 lbs. of clay on a a 12" diameter aluminum wheel head that includes removable bat pins and a plastic bat. The body of the wheel consists of a 3/16" iron frame holding a 1" high-density poly table with a laminate surface. The legs are adjustable for either tabletop use (13"h) or for floor use (20-25"h). The motor is 1/4hp- 6 amp industrial grade that is designed to run up to 4 hours a day, 5 days a week for 5 years, a total of 5000+ hours before needing a set of brushes which are easily installed. The speed of 0-240 RPM is controlled electronically through a cast aluminum foot pedal. The belt that drives the wheel is a 4-groove poly belt that automatically tensions itself with use. Included with the wheel is a high density polypropylene splash pan that snaps on and off for easy cleaning. The wheel is designed for right hand use only. Best of all, Amoco is so sure of the quality that they back this wheel with a 5 year limited warranty.

This review is from: Potter's Pottery Wheel By Brent Has The Strength And Features Of Larger Potter's Wheels And Includes Splash Pan

I've been using Brent wheels for years. I've left this one out in the snow this past winter because of space constraints. It is working great and the electronics all seem sound and well sealed. I've had to take it apart to tinker with the pedal speed and found it very easy to work on. In my opinion (based on 25 years of throwing on the wheel) Brent wheels are only second in reliability to kick-wheels (and much less bulky!) It may seem like a spendy amount but you won't be sorry when you have a reliable tool that lasts years.
