I would like to build my own motorized (direct drive) pottery wheel. Do you
know where I can purchase suitable motors? Thanks.

Motors for wheels can be bought just about anywhere from Grangers to Sears,
etc. Even some used ones from appliance dealers/repair folks could work. My
suggestion, at least a 1/2HP or 3/4HP with a speed of 1725RPM. But all is
somewhat a matter of what type wheel you build. I assume that your going to
build one that drives off of the flywheel as opposed to a direct or belt
drive wheel with a variable speed pedal. Also, be careful which way the motor
turns, clockwise or counter clockwise as this obviously determines where and
how it is placed in the drive chain-of-events. Some motors have reversable
rotation options which is a matter of switching a wire or two. Usually this
is explained on the diagram at the wiring junction box right on the motor.
Hope this helps!

There has been a recent thread discussing the merit and faults of a
variety of pottery wheels. I have an opportunity to acquire a Scutt
electric wheel for a nominal amount from a retired potter. I didn't know
that Scutt made (I assume past tense) pottery wheels. Does anyone have
any experience with this wheel? Thanks for your assistance.

David,
I recently got rid of a Skutt wheel that I had had for some 30 years.
When I attempted to have it repaired, I was told that Skutt has not made
wheels for many years. In fact, no one at the Skutt plant knew about
the wheel.
Was it a good wheel? Well, it was quite a sturdy one. My only
complaint was that it did not have a good low speed. One could change a
little gear, but one would lose the higher speeds with the smaller gear.

Canada is a big place. I live on Vancouver island and I am not about to go
to Halifax on the Atlantic coast to get a wheel.
It would be a good idea to tell everyone where you are located.
Gosh, even "Big Tony" from Sour Cherry wouldn't want to drive all the way to
Toronto. Then again, who would?

I am in the market for a pottery wheel. I guess I am leaning toward a Brent, maybe a
cxc because that is the one that most people I have spoken with have and like. Any
thoughts?
Also have a friend in desperate need of a Brent cxc motor, cheap if possible. He
spent way too much trying to fix his wheel and cost and problems snowballed. I hate
seeming him not potting!
thanks,
rachelle

I have a CXC. No problems with the wheel or motor. I had some problems with
the speed control. It is a little complicated, but there was a plastic piece
that was continually coming loose that was eventually repaired when they did
a manufactuing upgrade. I have had mine for 10 years an no other problems.
