Legend Wheel with SSX Controller

Description

Production Potter's Dream

The combination of the Built-In Splash Pan, Heavy Duty Frame, and ridiculously strong motor make the Classic a popular choice with production potters. Upgrade to the ultra-silky smooth performance of the SSX controller and you may never have to make another potter's wheel purchase again.

Everything on this wheel is stout!

Potters can put a lot of force on a wheel. We use them to brace our legs, we push around clay on the wheel head, heck… sometimes we even stand on it. You want that base to feel solid. 

The frame of the Classic is made of powder coated, 5/16″ cast aluminum. The legs are 1/8″ thick steel. The wheel head is the thickest on the market and the motor is the biggest. 

The Motor

Skutt is the only company we know of that uses a Continuous Duty motor. These motors are tested under much more rigorous conditions, so they need to be built tougher. That means heavy duty components that can stand up to the strain students (and big pot potter’s) can subject them to. Sometimes bigger is better. 

The Wheel Head

The Wheel Head on all Skutt Electric Wheels is removable! No, not with a screwdriver and a PHD in Engineering, just twist and pull up. This innovative design allows you to have full access to your splash pan for cleaning. If you have one of our removable splash pan designs you will definitely appreciate our one piece splash pan. No longer will you need to fuss with cleaning out your splash pan before you can bring it to the sink to clean like two piece pans. Just bring it straight to your clay reclaimer or trash can and dump it. It is that easy! It is also the thickest wheel head on the market so it will never wear thin, will not flex, and is nearly impossible to bend.

The Controller

Okay, this might get a little technical. Our controllers use only the highest quality components. If you look at our controller side by side with competitors, you will see that ours is often twice the size. This allows for larger, more robust components that are spaced properly to reduce heat.

The Shaft

The biggest test of your wheel head shaft is to turn it loose on a big pot potter Like Scott Semple. Scott throws pots on over-sized bats that are over 6 ft tall. When you get that much clay, cantilevered out, that high…it puts a tremendous amount of stress on your shaft.
The shaft on a Skutt wheel is nearly twice the diameter of the competition.

If you are looking for a wheel you can pick up and take on a picnic, this one might not be for you. If you are looking for a wheel that will last a lifetime…look no further.
