SHIMPO RK-WHISPER WHEEL with SPLASH PAN
RK-Whisper Potter's Wheel :
NOW WITH SHEFFIELD POTTERY EXCLUSIVE HEAVY DUTY PACKAGING TO PREVENT UPS SHIPPING DAMAGE.
The
RK-Whisper represets the next generation of potter’s wheels. Responsive, high torque at all speeds, powerful and quiet. Not just quiet, but QUIET! This wheel is by far the quietest on the market; you can actually throw and hear yourself think at the same time...
The exterior of the
RK-Whisper resembles the RK-10, but that’s where the similarities end! This new wheel features a brushless DC motor and direct drive (no belt)
system. The motor is electronically controlled and operated by a
fixed foot pedal and hand lever. It’s reversible, and the steel body
is durable under all conditions. A 12” wheel-head and two-piece splash
pan are included as standard features.
