Lotus Wheel Head for Latest Millacron Pottery Wheels
This 330mm Lotus Wheel Head is designed to fit the latest Millacron pottery wheels, as well as many other wheels manufactured in the UK. Supplied complete with one disc, it provides a practical removable batt system for potters who want to lift freshly thrown pieces from the wheel with less handling.
The Lotus wheelhead system is a useful alternative to a standard pottery wheel head, especially for production throwing, larger pots and thinly thrown pieces that could be damaged if handled too soon. The waterproof plywood batt sits neatly within the smooth aluminium rim, helping protect the edge while keeping the disc secure during throwing.
