Clean the Wheel HeadMake sure the wheel head is free of any dry clay, which can create an uneven surface and make the bat wobble. |
Placing the BatOur bats are made to have a snug fit on the bat pins. If you need to widen the holes, its easy to do with a small nail file or sandpaper. |
Using the BatYou should wire your pot immediately after throwing to ensure it comes off easily when youre ready to trim. Ideally, you should use the opposite side of the bat every time you use it and clean it after each use. If clay is allowed to dry on the bat, it will warp the bat as it dries and shrinks. Make sure not to bend the bat as you lift it. |
Storing the BatStore bats flat if possible. Do not soak or leave water pooled on top. If you find that your bat has cupped or warped, it can be fixed by placing it on a flat surface with a heavy weight laying on top. |

Designed to Fit Most Standard WheelsOur pottery bats are designed to fit most standard wheels made by Amaco, Shimpo, Laguna, Skutt, and others. The standard is for bat pins to be placed 10" apart. Still, some wheels may have pins that are slightly wider or narrower (especially after many years of use). Thats why our bats have two pin holes of different sizes, one standard and one oblong, so they can adjust to most wheel heads. Our bat pin holes are designed to fit snugly so they can last longer. |
Beveled Edges for ComfortPenguin Pottery bats have beveled edges so that your hands can rest comfortably. No sharp edges on our bats! |
