VEVORForming Machine Pottery Wheel, Foot Speed Control, Red

La machine ne fonctionne pas, la qualité à l'air vraiment mauvaise, les files sous la machine sont à l'air libre sans protection, donc risque d'électrocution. Je l'ai renvoyé

This inexpensive wheel is not going to have the quality materials of a $1000 pottery wheel. Everything is made of thinner and lighter material. BUT for the price it is an amazing value. The folks, who designed this wheel, were able to pull together a well-functioning wheel with modest materials. In short, it works and seems to work quite well. I've not had it long enough to speak to its durability.The wheel is low, so you will need to raise it about 8 inches, depending on your preferences. I started out with a pair of concrete blocks, which seemed to be about right for me. But because I needed to move the wheel about from time to time, I built a small lightweight base out of scrap wood.The wheel has more power than I expected. I've centered 3 lbs of clay with ease and the motor did not slow. Something to consider is that the overall weight of the wheel is around 25 lbs. So, if you are going to lean in for centering larger pieces, you may want to place the wheel against a wall or something heavy so that it does not move.The foot control is very responsive. I can slow it down to a crawl. The high end speed seems about right for centering.All in all, it was an excellent buy.

This is not a professional wheel. For the price it does a good job for 1-3 lbs of clay. You cannot do bigger pieces on it. It's also a good wheel for doing your trimming. I use it as a banding wheel sometimes too. At 1/10th the price of a Brent, this one does a decent job for a hobbyist just throwing mugs and cereal bowls.There are no holes for bat pins, and it's smaller than a standard wheel but I've been able to stick smaller bats to it without them coming off.

"I purchased the VEVOR Pottery Wheel for beginners with high hopes, but unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing. The components are made of cheap material, and after a month of heavy use, the wheel head rusted, which affected my pottery work. The wheel is not strong enough to handle even small amounts of clay, and I found it challenging to apply proper centering techniques. The wheel's height is also an issue as it is not ergonomically designed for regular chairs, requiring a low stool or object to prop it up on. Another concerning issue is that the machine makes an electrical whirring noise when the wheel speed is zero, but the machine is not off. Additionally, while the wheel basin cubbies might seem intuitive, they make cleaning off with a sponge a chore.I would only recommend this wheel or others like it from VEVOR if you are interested in trying pottery and do not have access to local studios to try it out. If you are a beginner with some experience, this wheel might frustrate you, and you might want to look for a reliable and durable option that can be used as a hobby. My recommendation is to find a professional used wheel on marketplaces until a cheaper alternative that still has quality where it needs it comes out."

the wheel thingy doesn't have holes or studs for a bat and it is ridged so if you don't have a bat it kinda hurts your hand but there are ways to remedy that. overall it works and it's cheap. i think if you are a more experienced potter you might be disappointed but im a beginner and im broke so this is great for me. i'm happy with this purchase.
