MDF Pottery Bats — For Shimpo Wheels (With Pin Holes)

Description

Made from the same high-quality MDF we use for our pottery forms, these 9mm (3/8") thick bats are designed to be compatible with Shimpo pottery wheels (freestanding), featuring pre-cut holes that align with the pins on the wheel head, allowing you to securely attach it for throwing clay.

Our bats are durable, moisture-resistant and great for both wheel throwing and hand building.

Choose from two diameter sizes (32cm/12.5" and 37cm/14.5") with 9mm holes at 254mm spacing. Cut slightly larger than the wheel head means you can easily grab the bat and remove from the wheel, without the need for a bat lifter.

If you don't require pin holes, you can find plain bats here.

Care instructions

• Wipe down bats after use
• Allow bats to dry vertically (not stacked on or against each other), away from direct sunlight
• Do not submerge bats in water — they are moisture resistant but not waterproof and can warp or swell if wet for prolonged periods of time
