Thomas Stuart Legend Model

All Thomas Stuart Wheels Proudly Made in USA

The Legend 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 newly designed removeable splash pan!

--The wheelhead and splashpan are easily removable by just lifting up and sliding the head off the shaft.

 

Thomas Stuart motor vs. the competition

• The motor is constantly tensioned for positive action through all speed ranges. 

• The drive belt is multiple grooved to provide a slip proof grip under the most trying conditions. 

• All important drive components are cushioned to eliminate vibration.

Thomas Stuart control vs. the competition

Each wheel has an industrial grade motor controller with 6 individually adjustable stages for peak motor performance. This controller sets this wheel apart from the crowd by providing constant torque through all speed ranges.

Results of '06 torque tests conducted by an independent panel of engineers 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.

The Pottery Stand is a modular system that expands your wheel into a workstation!  Wheel sets and extra shelves are available; wareboards have handles for a sure grip and can be purchased separately as needed.  Click the picture at left to order a stand.
