Skutt Potters Wheels/ Thomas Stuart Potter's Wheels are the ultimate wheels for professional potters and schools.
The POWER, DESIGN, & DURABILITY of our electric wheels is unmatched by any other wheel on the market today.

All Thomas Stuart Wheels are built on a heavy cast aluminum base that is powder coated for a durable, elegant, and easy to clean finish.  Each wheel comes equipped with our special cast aluminum foot pedal with smooth action and precision control.

Continual duty motors are used on every Thomas Stuart Electric Wheel and our motors are almost twice the size of the standard peak rated motors that are used on most potter’s wheels.  Two different 1/3hp wheels can produce a completely different amount of torque at the wheel head. The torque a wheel produces is the amount of power you have to center clay. Our 1/3hp motor puts out more torque than most competitors’ 1/2hp motors.  All of our models are convincingly stronger than their counter parts. Each wheel has an industrial grade motor controller that controls the minimum and maximum speeds, senses the feedback from the motor, and provides constant torque through all speed ranges.

Accessories

The cup head system can be interchanged with the wheel head for use with plaster bats that simply drop into place.  These plaster bats can be made inexpensively with either the 12" or 14" mold.

The shaft extension raises the wheel head above the base for throwing or trimming oversized pots. Simply lift the wheel head off, place the shaft extension on the shaft & replace the wheel head.  (Built-in splash pan models only)

The popular adjustable leg extensions easily convert any of our wheels into a stand up wheel by utilizing the unique cast aluminum clamp that attaches to the 2” pipe leg. These legs make the wheel infinitely adjustable to a maximum 30" in height.
