wheel rentals

Shimpo VL-whisper

Why we chose this wheel for our studio:

Because our members deserve the best. This wheel is smooth, quiet, and seriously powerful — thanks to a brushless DC motor head. No belts mean no noise and no vibrations and it can center up to 100 pounds of clay!

What you get:

  • Switches easily for lefties or righties

  • Built-in breaker that protects the motor

  • Comes with a remote foot pedal and adjustable height so you can throw comfortably

  • Wheelhead spins freely at zero speed (great for trimming or banding)

  • Two-piece splash pan for easy cleaning

  • 2 Bat pins

Heads up: It weighs 120 lbs and takes 2 people to move safely.

***Warning: This product may be harmful to a person who has a pacemaker. Serious injury or death could occur. Consult a physician before using.***
