Some longtimers in the pottery community still have fond memories
of their old Skutt wheels. We still see them occasionally on
the used equipment market. After many years of focusing on kilns,
Skutt re-entered the market by acquiring (or merging with)
Thomas Stuart Wheels. With their classic styling, precise construction,
and elegant finish, Thomas Stuart wheels are high quality equipment
for serious potters. Multiple models at different power levels
in two body styles allow you to choose the wheel that best meets
your individual needs.
The
original built-in splash pan design has a large work area ideal
for holding a water bucket, tools, and lots of trimmings. The
removable wheel head (just lift and twist) makes it easy to
clean. The wheel head is recessed in the body of the wheel to
work as an integrated splash pan.

The
Prodigy's removable splash pan is just as easy: lift and twist
the wheel head, then remove the one-piece splash pan. The Legend,
Revolution and Premier models offer full-sized two-piece splash
pans.
Why Choose Skutt Wheels?
Because all electric motors are NOT the same -- even when they have
the same horsepower rating.
Skutt wheels by Thomas Stuart use industrial "continual duty"
motors, designed to run at full speed without overheating for as long
as the user requires. Other wheels may use "peak-rated motors"
intended to provide full power without overheating only for short
periods. The torque produced by a wheel is the amount of power you
have to center clay. High torque at low speeds is important for potters
-- but providing high torque at low speeds generates more heat in
the motor. Temperature is the greatest enemy of variable speed motors,
leading to worn parts and eventual failure. The larger motors on Thomas
Stuart wheels have superior insulation and more windings, which allow
greater dissipation of motor heat, plus integrated fans for additional
cooling. This allows these motors to run cooler and last longer. Plus
the additional torque at lower speeds gives these wheels great centering
capacity -- higher than other wheels rated at the same horsepower. |

Options & Accessories for Electric Wheels
|
Drive Shaft Extension
The drive shaft extension raises the wheelhead above the base for throwing or trimming oversized pots. Lift the wheel head off, place the extension on the drive shaft, and replace the wheel head. That's all there is to it. (For use only on wheels with integrated splash pans.)
|
 |
Adjustable Leg Extensions
These extensions easily convert any Skutt wheel into a standup model by using unique aluminum clamps that attach to the 2" pipe legs. These legs make the wheel infinitely adjustable to a maximum 30" height.
|
| |
SSX Drive Upgrade
The SSX drive allows incredible sensitivity from the foot pedal at very low speeds. This drive system can be added to any Skutt wheel except the Prodigy as an after-purchase add-on, but the cost is lower when installed at the factory as part of your wheel purchase. We've listed both pricing options below for your convenience.

Kickwheel Splash Pan
This cast aluminum splash pan is designed to easily slip on and off. It also provides support for your hands and arms while throwing, in addition to catching runs, drips and errors.
|
 |
Kickwheel Motor Kit
The motor attachment has a 1/3rd HP motor, totally enclosed to prevent dust or moisture from damaging its internal components. The drive system uses a rubber flywheel in contact with the edge of the concrete flywheel, and includes an internal on-off switch that activates when you apply pressure to the foot lever. You can add the motor attachment to your kickwheel at any time without modification to the wheel. Five year limited warranty.
