StudioPro Bats


Studio Pro 3/8 Inch Medex Bats

StudioPro 3/8" Medex Bats

These bats offer greater rigidity then our tempered hardboard bats, but with similar absorbency. StudioPro's versatile Medex bats are an excellent choice for all kinds of studio environments.

These Medex bats have a great clay adhesion and bottom drying. Their increased rigidity keeps pot rims true when lifting them off the wheel head.

Bats should be cleaned and stacked or stored vertically on a bat rack after use. Do not soak wood bats of any kind. Pots should be wire cut from the bats after throwing and removed when they are leather hard. The remaining pad of clay should be scraped off before storing. Occasional sponge cleaning is fine

Studio Pro 1/4" Plastic Bats

Note: Color Varies

They're easy to care for, have great
design details and are extremely versatile. Plastic eliminates warping issues which makes these bats perfect for schools and art centers where wet pots are often left covered on bats for a long time.

These Plastic Bats are textured on both sides so clay adheres equally well on either surface: a true "two-sided" bat. Rounded or "bull-nosed" edges provide durability and easy lifting. They are cut from a high-quality marine grade High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), which is produced using a patented extrusion process. This ensures perfect flatness of every sheet and every bat!

Studio Pro Foam Trimming Bat
New! Studio Pro Foam Trimming Bat

StudioPro Foam Trimming Bats offer a superior alternative to adhering the rims of pots to the wheelhead using clay coils. Because pots are held in place by the foam and not stuck down, you have the ability to lift and inspect your piece frequently during trimming. The foam also protects your pot's rim from damage while inverted on the bat. Pots can be easily centered using the concentric rings on the bats as a guide.

Studio Pro Trimming Bats are made using foam selected for just the right density and grip. Keep in mind that the thicker the foam, the more unsteady smaller pieces will be during trimming, so be sure to select the correct thickness for your pots. For example, 1/4 ” foam works well for smaller, lighter work without extreme rim alteration. Whereas 3/4" foam is best used for heavier pieces or pots with uneven rims that need more protection.

• Foam is adhered to a 14” or 18" StudioPro Signature bat to ensure rigidity and long wear.
• Constructed using a 0.5" thick, StudioPro Signature Bat
• 1/4" foam for pots with level or slightly altered rims
• 3/4" foam for heavier work or pots with greater rim unevenness
• One hole and one slot for 10" pin spacing, which compensates for variations in wheel-head pin spacing

Do not leave submerged in water. Any wood based product left submerged in water will degrade and warp, so be nice to your bat system and gently clean the components and set them out to dry either on their sides or at a diagonal, just not stacked. If left stacked when fully wet, the inserts will swell in the center. They will dry out flat again, but it will take time!
