Plastic bats, crafted by studio potters, epitomizes versatility. Fashioned from 6mm / 1/4″ thick bio plastic, these bats ensure enduring performance without delaminating, swelling, or shrinking. They’re a breeze to clean too!
Half circle holes placed on the outer edge of the bat, ensure a snug fit both to your AMACO, Brent, Nidec or Shimpo wheel – If you own a model with no pin holes, we sell a kit, so you can install pins easily yourself with our handy guide. These holes maintain their size over time, resisting enlargement through use.
For optimal storage, we advise stacking on a flat surface to prevent warping. Ensure bats are spotless before stacking, as even minor obstructions can induce warping.
Plastic bats stand as the quintessential complement to your wheel, and make it a breeze to remove pottery from a wheel without directly touching or lifting the newly molded piece – reduce the risk of warping to something managable.
The plastic bat attaches to the pottery wheel, transforming into the working surface. When the potter completes their piece, they simply disconnect and lift the bat instead of directly handling the piece.
