Kiln Crafts Thistle Direct Drive Pottery Wheel

The Thistle Pottery Wheel is an 800W direct drive pottery wheel built for serious hobbyists and small studios, quiet enough for a spare room, powerful enough for a full production day.

The 800 watts of direct drive deliver consistent torque whether you're opening a delicate 1kg base or centring a 25kg block of clay there is no belt to slip, no power loss when you lean into it. The hall-effect pedal gives smooth, precise throttle across the full speed range, and because there are no wearing contacts, the feel stays the same for the life of the wheel.

The white acrylic top of the pottery wheel wipes clean in seconds, and the free-spinning motor goes silent the moment you lift your foot. It's a pottery wheel that gets out of your way and lets you focus on the clay.
