The Nidec-Shimpo RK-3E (VL Whisper) Potters Wheel is our flag ship wheel. It offers direct drive technology that is consistent and linear in its power delivery. It is precise in action allowing very fine motor control for a pleasant and balanced throwing experience.
The contemporary frame construction feels well planted and ergonomic with various height adjustments. It has a large tray back for all of your tools and water containers.
The foot pedal is solid in construction, has a 2m long cord allowing it to be positioned as you please. It will maintain speed at whichever position it is left, for a relaxed user experience.
The wheel can be setup as a standalone unit, on a bench-top by removing the legs, or for stand up throwing with the addition of the leg extension kit. View here
