Again it is proven that it is very difficult to come up with something
new in pottery. I thought that it was a small group of us potters in Los
Angeles in the mid 1970s that invented the hydrolic wheel.
Mel is right, that sucker had non stop Torque. If you didn't slip up a
50 pound hump well enough, you got thrown, not the clay in trying to
center. Very smooth at low speed but a bit noisy, not real portable.
If you live on a farm, you could power your wheel off your tractor.
Probably a bit on the pricy side buying all that diesel to run the
tractor.
