Compact Russian Doll Batt System (Batt Pins)

The Hartley & Noble Compact Russian Doll Batt System:

This Batt System is made especially for pottery wheels with batt pin bolts in the wheelhead. You'll be able to throw pottery on MDF tiles, then easily remove them from the wheel on the tile... so no more accidentally squishing your pots when removing them from the wheel!

• It's small & mighty - at just 200mm (7 3/4 inches) in size, this compact system will take up minimal space on your storage shelves. 
• It comes with 15 batts - you'll receive 15 MDF tiles to throw your pots on. That's 5 x small, 5 x medium, and 5 x large MDF tiles. 
• Throwing on smaller square batts rather than traditional round ones means you'll fit loads more pots on your drying shelves.
• The Compact Batt System is drilled with two sets of batt pin holes. This means that it fits most common wheelheads that come with batt pins drilled at 250mm OR 254mm from the centre.
• It also includes a set of 10mm batt pin bolts.
• All Hartley & Noble Batt Systems are made using our PREMIUM grade MDF - this means they're incredibly warp resistant, and designed to last for years. 

How to use this batt system:

Simply wet the square batt rug, squeeze out the excess water, and lay it flat on the wheel over your batt pin bolts. Choose the tile size you want to throw on, slot it onto the bolts.... and throw!

- 5 x 100mm Tile inserts (made in 6mm Premium MDF)

Will this fit your pottery wheel?

If your pottery wheelhead has 10mm batt pin bolts located at EITHER 250mm OR 254mm centres, then this batt system will fit it. (This is a standard batt pin size and location used commonly by brands such as Rohde / Shimpo - Nidec / Brent / Skutt / Frema, and Roderveld). 

What can I throw on this batt system?

This Batt System is great for throwing cups, mugs, small plates, candle sticks, vases, and ANY pottery with a maximum size base of 200mm. You can throw light or heavy weights of clay on it (it's been tested up to 10kg weight of clay). If you want to throw larger plates, platters, or low wide rimmed bowls we recommend using a throwing batt instead. Please click here to view our range of round throwing batts.

How to order

Always measure your own pottery wheel before ordering (Do not use manufacturers guidelines to take measurements as they can sometimes differ from your own wheel). Please click here to view our video guide.

A minimum wheelhead size of 300mm is needed for this system. If you have a smaller wheelhead please contact us and we'll be happy to help.

How to look after me

Please do not leave soaking in water.  
To clean just wipe with a damp sponge to remove any clay.
Remove from wheel when not in use.
Do not stack these batts together when wet or damp, please dry vertically.
When dry, you may stack them horizontally.
Do not leave to dry near sources of direct heat (such as your kiln), this may cause warping.
Do not use metal scourers or screwdrivers on these batts.
