PRODUCT DETAILS

Do you have a pottery wheel with NO batt pin bolts? Would you like to use throwing batts to create wide based items like plates, bowls and planters? Or even use a Giffin Grip on your wheel? Our ‘Over-the-Wheel Batt Adaptor’ is designed to help you do all of that!

No need to drill your wheelhead or throw a pad of clay to attach batts to your wheel. Just wet the Batt Rug, lay it flat on the wheel, put the Batt Adaptor on top, and secure your Throwing Batt onto the batt pins.

The Batt Adaptor Kit comes fitted with two pairs of pre-drilled inserts for you to screw the batt pin bolts into. One pair of inserts is positioned at 250mm centres, and the other set is positioned at 254mm centres (these are standard batt pin positions). This enables you to attach Throwing Batts, Batt Systems or even a Giffin Grip to your wheel.

This product is not suitable for wheels that are smaller than 265mm diameter. Get in touch if you need a Mini Adaptor.

Take a look at this video created by James Hobbs Ceramics, to see how the Over-the-Wheel Batt Adaptor works.

All our Over-the-Wheel Systems are specifically designed to be slightly bigger than your wheelhead measurement. This is essential in order for the master batt to go on and off easily. It is quite normal to have a millimetre or so of movement when you put your master batt on the wheel. When the wheel starts spinning, and the wet batt rug is in place, there will be no excess movement. This is part of the unique design.
