But it is not the only feature that can affect the operating process and the variety of things you can make. We will speak about the diameter of the wheel head. This characteristic must be combined with centering capacity of the wheel. It happens due to the fact that some things having more width will have bigger weight correspondingly. But of course, if you plan to improve your skills in pottery, we greatly recommend selecting pottery wheels with a wheel head not less than 14 inches. At the same time for the beginners and for those people who have pottery as a hobby, the wheel head can be of 12 inches. Pottery Wheel Splash Pan and Cleaning Brent Splash Pan Every pottery wheel owner should take care of it. Once you have bought it you should think about its maintenance. It is necessary to clean it after every using, otherwise, you will have problems. In order to take care of your pottery wheel properly, you should take the wheel head off and clean everything at least once a week. Otherwise, there are big chances that clay can get stuck underneath the attachment in between the wheel head.

All the wheels have splash pans of different kinds. Some of them are made of cheap plastic and have non-standard weird form. You can even cut your hands while trying to take it off. There are also splash pans that are made of good quality material. But if you have to clean it, you need to take off a wheel head first which is often quite heavy. All these mentioned make a lot of inconveniences. So while buying a pottery wheel it is necessary to take into account the material a splash pan is made of and the way it is taken off. It is very important to know as it helps you to save time and makes cleanup much easier. Weight One of the main features in choosing the pottery wheel is its weight. In spite of the fact that some people can consider this feature not very important, nevertheless, we think that we should pay special attention to this item. All people live their own way of life. Some prefer often moving from one place to another, the others like staying at one and the same place. If you can refer yourself to the first category, the weight of the pottery wheel has significant importance to you. The lighter the wheel is the easier it can be transported. We mean here not only transporting the wheel from one room to another or from the first floor to the second but also putting it into the vehicle. The weight of the wheel can be very important for you if you are a person of the delicate constitution because it may be a problem to transport it if you do it alone. But in case if you are going to buy some number of pottery wheels for starting up pottery studio, the weight of pottery wheel will not play an important role for you because you plan to put it on one place for a long time. That’s why, before buying a wheel you must be sure to answer the question how often you intend to transport it or change its place. Pedal Sensibility Pedal Sensibility is very important characteristic one should take into account when buying a pottery wheel. The quality of stuff you are making fully depends on it. If a pedal is too sensible and speeds up very quickly, it will be difficult to adjust the speed level you need. Undoubtedly, that will strongly result in what you are doing. There are also some pedals that don’t react to your pushings properly. You start and continue to push again and again but nothing happens at first. After a few moments, it suddenly speeds up at its maximum. You will have problems with such pedals. The more sophisticated your thing is planned to be the smoother your pedal will react to your pushing. Some peculiarities of your work will depend on the speed and adjustment of the pedal. It is also very important to bear in mind that if you are a beginner, i.e. you are operating at the pottery wheel for the first time, you may not estimate the value of pedal’s sensibility, while the experienced person will catch the difference in the process of working with the pedal. So, if you are a beginner, you should pay more attention to some other characteristics of a pottery wheel which are also described in this section. Good foot pedals are sturdy enough. They should adapt to the speed and your foot. You push slightly and it reacts. It makes speed adjusting process really easy.

There are three types of material namely steel, aluminum alloy and plastic. The stronger the material the longer the pottery wheel will last.
