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.

of Skutt's New Red Wheel
in action! |
|
| Skutt has REBRANDED their WHEEL LINE with a bold,
new RED color (like their red box on Skutt kilns)
and simplified the selection.
Now, with only 3 models ... PRODIGY, LEGEND & CLASSIC ... these wheels
all come with the standard, reliable 1/3 hp motor.
These new RED wheels are the only ones to have a 10 year warranty! The new potentiometer in the foot pedal is water and dust proof with a cycle rating nearly 30 times the standard. Since the foot pedal is one of the most common replacement items, the robust potentiometer gives Skutt the confidence to provide a 10 year warranty.
