Good For Dice Polishing

I purchased this as an inexpensive way to more quickly polish hand made resin dice. It's quite small but I found it very effective. If you have dexterity issues it might be tough to use this small of a wheel but I think it is a great option for hobbyists.

This is NOT a pottery forming wheel - it is a spinner for painting round items.

This is not a turntable for making pottery, which is what I thought it would be. It is a spinning stand for painting spiral designs on pottery or other items. It is not rugged or strong. It is delicate and small. But it is cool looking and compact. If you wanted to paint spiraling/wavy stripes on a vase or mug, this is what you'd use.

Ludicrous little potter's wheel

This ludicrous little potter's wheel appears surprisingly well-made. I have spent a couple of hours on it so far, and I'm pretty pleased with how smoothly the wheel turns, how quiet it runs, and how well-sealed it is (so far).That said, it has a very weak motor - obviously (it's USB) - that bogs down with the slightest pressure. That's really only a problem for centering, so I'd recommend using a very moist, low-grog clay body - and wedging it well (kneading it) prior to placing it on your wheel. Wedging doesn't just remove air bubbles. It makes the clay more malleable, and you can add some additional moisture to soften it up while wedging. I imagine air-dry crafter's clay would work well (but please don't try to fire this type of clay at your local pottery kiln).Before starting the wheel, center your clay as well as possible using the guide lines and turning the wheel by hand, then use plenty of lubrication and small movements to center and cone-up/down so you don't stop/slow the little motor.Once you've got it centered, the only real challenge is working a tiny piece with your giant hands (and no surface to steady yourself), but this wheel includes 2 very helpful teeny-tiny throwing sticks and a couple of things that work pretty well as ribs and even opening tools.I assume no real potters are going to buy this unless they're bored out of their pandemic minds, so all you kids and relative-newbies: there is never a time you need 4500 RPM on a pottery wheel! That's just nuts. Turn it all the down. A couple hundred RPM for centering is ok, but you can't throw at 4500 RPM. In fact, it almost doesn't go slowly enough for throwing vases and such with long necks.I'm pretty sure the teeny-tiny motor will burn out after a little use. Maybe I'll find a way to attach a Dremel motor of something when that happens so I'll have a much noisier, but infinitely more practical little machine.

Unbalanced - wobbles

I bought this to try and get back into ceramics. I thought it would be good for making some tiny things like bud vases and ring bowls. However, the disc is unbalanced, meaning you can never perfectly center your clay. If you can’t center your clay properly, you can’t produce a finished piece. It will warp and wobble and eventually come of the base. It’s possible I received a bad unit, so I may try and return this and see if a second one isn’t defective. But for now, I can’t recommend this for it’s intended use. May still be fine for sanding dice, however a wobble could produce an uneven surface while sanding.

Decent, but poor shipping quality

Decent small pottery wheel, but the lid and a bit of the side were dented when I first pulled it out of the packaging. There was no original box, just the wheel and power/speed plug both wrapped in bubble wrap, so my assumption is that it was dented prior to being wrapped in bubble wrap, meaning whoever sent this was aware the wheel had some cosmetic damage. But the damage is only cosmetic and the rest of it works fine.As for the quality of the wheel itself, its fine, with a few small issues. First the wheel is really too small for actual pottery. Not only is the wheel small, the entire thing is too small and light to remain in place while in use, so it would be hard to use two hands to work clay without the wheel becoming unstable. However given I'm using it for polishing resin dice, both hands aren't needed, so its a simple matter to hold it in place with one hand while polishing dice with the other.Overall, 3/5 stars. Disappointed by the level of damage, even if its just cosmetic, and it has limitations as a pottery wheel just because of the size and weight of the wheel.

It spins. That's about it.

I bought this hoping to use it to very gently sand resin, but you literally cannot apply even the lightest pressure to this without the motion completely stopping. I can't come up with a single practical use for this device.

Waste of money.

Any pressure on this while it’s spinning and it stops. Spend your money on something else.

It doesn’t work out for us

Likes: it keeps you entertained trying to do some potteryDislikes: ugh... it’s impossible to make anything! We tried several air dry clays and they all go out flying! It makes an insane mess and it shakes if you put too much clay. You have to put a tiny amount of clay in the center. We have used it twice since we purchased and my entire family tried it out and we all had fun just massaging the clay but really unable to do a thing.
