If you’re not sure if you should drop $800 plus for a professional potter’s wheel this might be for you. It’s decent, motor can handle a few pounds of clay, 100%. It’s really meant to be a little kids wheel. It’s very short, look at the pictures. The negatives, it has a super short cord for the pedal, so if you want to raise it there’s no way. There’s also no holes to attach bats, so you’d have to drill those yourself. Finally, the pedal feels cheap and is small. Don’t get me wrong for under $200 this is great.
