Potters, this bat system is a total game-changer for your workflow! Instead of wrestling to wire pots off the wheel head, you simply throw your piece on one of the six 7-inch square masonite inserts that sit inside a sturdy 12-inch round outer bat. When you're done, just lift the small square insert (and your pot) off the wheel using the handy tab, and set the whole thing aside to dry. This saves a ton of shelf space compared to giant round bats and eliminates the risk of distorting or dropping your pot when wiring it off. The outer bat is made from strong, water-resistant wood and fits standard wheel heads with pins 10 inches apart (bat pins are even included!). The masonite inserts absorb water, helping the clay release naturally as it dries. Makes throwing batches of mugs, bowls, or small plates faster, safer, and way more enjoyable. Made in the USA and built to last.
