Gladstone G34 Bailey Electric Potters Wheel for Professional Studio Throwing
The Gladstone Bailey Potters Wheel is a compact professional electric pottery wheel designed for studio potters, schools, colleges and serious makers who need smooth power, reliable control and a comfortable throwing position. Built with a higher wheel head than many wheels of this style, the Bailey is designed to support a more upright European-style throwing position while keeping the overall footprint practical for busy ceramic studios.
Powered by a smooth 0.37kW / 0.5HP drive and computer-enhanced VF control, the Bailey wheel delivers quiet, consistent performance across the speed range. Under heavier loads, the drive system can generate up to a peak equivalent of 1HP, helping the wheel maintain steady power when centring and throwing. With a large one-piece splash tray, 12 inch aluminium wheel head and durable laser-fabricated chassis, this is a strong choice for professional pottery, teaching spaces and regular studio use.
Why Choose the Gladstone Bailey Wheel?
The Bailey wheel is designed for potters who want professional performance without the size of a full cabinet wheel. Its compact layout makes it suitable for studios with limited space, while the raised wheel head, smooth speed response and quiet operation make it comfortable for longer throwing sessions.
This wheel is especially useful for schools and shared studios because it combines strong performance with a user-friendly design. Optional extras such as the fitted seat, shelf unit, shaft extension and reversing switch allow the wheel setup to be adapted around different users, teaching environments and working preferences.
