Pottery Trimming Spinner

Our handy Pottery Trimming Spinner is a great tool for any ceramic artist! This simple and genius little tool helps stabilize your piece and disperses downward pressure to keep thin-walled pieces from collapsing. The coloured lines on the spinner also make convenient division hash marks. It works perfectly in conjunction with our sticky bats and sticky pads too!

DESCRIPTION: 

• No moving parts
• Foam rubber backing grips the spinner to a piece being trimmed on a wheel
• Use your dominant hand for trimming, then place a finger of your other hand in the spinner’s concave centre, helping to stabilize the piece
• String or fishing line looped through the centre hole can extend to mark lines on a piece instead of using a laser
• The trimming Spinner is 48 mm (~2”) in diameter with a 6 mm (1/4″) hole in the centre. Hash marks provide five options for equidistant divisions.
• Trimming Spinner XS is 31 mm (~1.25”) in diameter with a 6 mm (1/4″) hole in the centre. Hash marks provide seven options for equidistant division.
• Trimming Spinner XL is 75 mm (~3”) in diameter with a 6 mm (1/4″) hole in the centre. Hash marks provide guides with every 10 degrees around, with 10 options for equidistant dividers.
