Pottery base setting tool with a 0-40mm adjustable range. Pottery accessibility aid, and an essential beginners pottery tool.

I want to first start by making it clear of my absolute disdain for making cups. They are time consuming, difficult to perfect and often quite overlooked. Every tool I make is about one thing - making pottery easier. This will make centers more perfect, your bases evenly compressed, greatly increasing the success rate of finished products.

I am slowly getting RSI in my left wrist from making overly large platters. Something I have really come to understand is how restricting physical injuries can be in pottery.

This trident tool or ball opener that has working range of 0mm-40mm, and will work on base diameters up to 30-220mm (based on wall thickness, it has a max width of 200mm for thick walls and 260mm for a completely flat plate).

The shaping tool can be screwed up and down and locked off at the desired clearance. Allowing you to use one tool for any thickness of base. One tool with 40 thickness options. Tools required, no rusting parts or wood that can warp.

This tool is 3d printed from corn based plastic and is available in 3 colours. White, Black and Pink.

The threads on this item have been designed for the messy gritty reality of a pottery studio and are anti-jam and self purging of any grit. This item won't fail just because you love overly grogged clay.

Currently I am making these items at my studio, so stock can be a little limited at times.
