Lotus Wheel Head for Shimpo Potters Wheels
This 330mm Lotus Wheel Head is threaded to fit compatible Shimpo potters wheels and comes complete with one batt. It is a practical removable batt system for potters who want to lift freshly thrown work from the wheel without complicated fittings or unnecessary handling.
The Lotus wheelhead system is especially useful for rapid production, larger pots and thinly thrown pieces that could be damaged if lifted by hand. The 9mm waterproof plywood batt sits inside the smooth aluminium rim, keeping the outer edge level and protected while you throw.
