I trim some forms with uneven lips on tall chucks, thrown and just =
dried, not bisqued.
The lips of the vessels to be trimmed to not come in contact with the =
wheel head.
You still have to work a bit to get the pitcher centered on the chuck, =
otherwise it goes
around like a gyroscope. But once cetentered, it is a good solution.
Best regards,

I realized that there is a lot of room for confusion
on my previous post on this topic... I was talking
about a thrown ring.. I personally shy from the
centered solid chuck. First and last time I tried it
the whole blasted thing turned into one piece, cloth
and all...... But that was a long time ago -- maybe I
should give it another go -- you know now that I have
a little more sense.. hahahahaa

OMG!! I sure hope no one read my post and fired a
solid chuck.... Woops!!!
