The
Classic
Model delivers power and professional performance
at an affordable price. Designed for most studios or classrooms, this
1/3 hp wheel centers more than 100
lbs. of clay with
ease. A 14" wheel head is standard. All wheels are built on
a heavy cast aluminum housing which
is powder coated for ease in cleaning. This design integrates a
large work surface with a built-in splash pan.
--The wheelhead
is easily removable by just lifting up and sliding the head off the
shaft.
--Optional
shaft extension raises the wheel head above the splash pan to accommodate
oversized pots.

NOTE:
This chart is not a graph of clay capacity, but a measure of the
torque produced by each wheel. For potters wheels, torque is a
measure of how well a motor rotates a mass of clay. The greater
the torque, the more clay the wheel can turn (and the more force
you can apply during centering/throwing) without causing the belt
to slip or the motor to stall. The
Classic model uses the same motor and drive system as the Legend
(above), but has a fixed splashpan instead of a removeable one.
