Speedball Pottery Equipment Catalog

    Speedball has acquired the Creative Industries Pottery Wheel product lines. Creative Industries, founded in 1971, had a long history of developing or improving pottery products long before consumers were even aware of the need for the product or improvement. Take the idea of the classic pottery wheel... large, heavy, cumbersome, difficult to ship and costly to purchase... Creative Industries lead the industry to develop lighter materials that are stronger and more durable resulting in wheels that are easier to ship and handle without compromising quality, large work surfaces and powerful motors for a more user friendly work experience and readily available, high performance parts which result in wheels that are less costly to purchase without compromising quality.

    Today, the Speedball Clay Boss and Artista Pottery Wheels for the clay studio and classroom are known the world over for their durability and tremendous value. Dogwood Ceramic Supply maintains extensive inventory of Speedball Pottery Wheels and accessories in our showroom for local sales as well as immediate UPS or freight shipment to hobby, professional and academic customers throughout North America.

Speedball Optional Equipment

Speedball Bat Pins

		Item #		Description		Price
		BP		Bat Pins		$4.50

    Bat Pins slide through a small hole on the pottery wheelhead and are held in place by hand tightening the matching wing nut.  Bat Pins are not permanently fastened as the Bat Pins are designed to be easily adjustable so that the pottery wheel user can properly center the bat to the head by loosening the wing nut and shifting the bat ever so slightly from side to side.  Unfortunately, because the bat pins are easily adjusted, the bat pin (bolt) or the wing nut are often tossed with the clay debris when cleaning the pottery wheel.

Don't worry, Dogwood Ceramic Supply keeps plenty of Speedball Bat Pins in stock.

    Speedball Bat Pins use SAE sized bolt heads and 1" shaft length to accommodate all Creative Industries (Speedball) Pottery Wheels.  The Speedball Bat Pins also fit Shimpo's Professional Pottery Wheels.  The Speedball Bat Pin seldom fits other brands of Pottery Wheels because of either the 1" shaft length Bat Pin or the wing nut.

    Please note, Bat Pins are STANDARD EQUIPMENT on new pottery wheels from all manufacturers.  However, because pottery wheel manufacturers list Bat Pins as optional equipment, some unscrupulous resellers are charging their customers for an accessory that is actually standard equipment with the product.
   

Speedball Universal Pottery Wheel Bats

    Speedball's Universal Pottery Wheel Bats are manufactured from injection molded plastic which can not warp during normal usage. The "Easy Lift Rim" around the outside edge of the Speedball Universal Pottery Wheel Bats creates a small lip that allows the bat to be easily lifted off the wheel head, so wheel head sized bats can purchased and the user can have full access to the splash pan surrounding the wheelhead.  As the Speedball Universal Pottery Wheel Bat uses a dedicated bat pin mount, the mounting holes do not penetrate the surface of the bat so your pot bottoms won't be marked or having to clean clay out of bat holes or pins.

    In order to make the bats universal, the Speedball Universal Pottery Wheel Bats have both 9" and 10" center-to-center pin mounting systems. The bats are self adjusting for wheels that may not be drilled perfectly, and have rounded edges to guide the pins into the mounting slots.
     The 7 ½" square bats are designed for space saving applications, allowing many pieces to be kept drying on the bats in a very small space.... perfect for the active classroom or production studio.
