How to order
1) Measure your wheelhead as shown in the video guide below. (Please do not use manufacturers guidelines to take measurements as they can sometimes differ from your own wheel).
2) Select your wheelhead size from the options in the drop down boxes.
3) If you don't see your size listed, select 'Bespoke Size Requested' and then enter your own measurementsin the 'Bespoke Design' box. We will then make you something that is custom-fit to your wheel measurements.
Please note that our Over-the-Wheel Tile Batt 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. It has been successfully tested for throwing up to 10kg of clay.
The minimum size wheel head required for this batt system is 300mm. If your wheelhead is smaller, take a look at our Mini Over-the-Wheel Russian Doll Batt System.
How to look after me
Do not leave batts soaking in water. Wood is a natural Product and this could cause swelling or warping.
To clean just wipe with a damp sponge to remove any clay.
Remove the batts and rug from the wheel when not in use.
Do not stack these batts together, dry & store vertically..
Do not use metal scourers or screwdrivers on these batts as this can result in damage.

A must for all potters
Got a new wheel and needed a bigger batt. Nicky helped me over the phone to ensure I took the correct measurements and anything additional I needed.

Best investment ever
This is by far the best pottery investment I've made. So easy to use and allows for the perfect thrown piece to pop off the batt once it's dry enough.

Great piece of kit
Love my Russian doll batt system which has transformed the way I work. No more distorted pots. I've had it for over a year and when it has been cleaned up it looks as good as the day I started using it. Great quality premium MDF. Thankyou so much

Perfect batt system
I didn't want to make holes in my pottery wheel so this is a perfect solution. It arrived today and I'm already super happy with the product!

This is such a great product!
The main batt fits my wheel well, the cloth holds it in place firmly, and the square bats nest inside the cutouts perfectly. It's already saving me so much time while throwing, and the pots just lift off when leather hard.
Up until now I was using the cheapest bats made from poor quality mdf and they would swell horribly and stick to the base.
I can't recommend this product enough.
