as the owner of a new one, i can say
without reservation it is a dandy.
it is the medium powered wheel..with
the beefed up splash pan.
it runs smooth, has enough power for my needs,
and just sits there and makes pots.
i would buy a fleet of them for a school, as the
price is right.
and saying that, as usual, i would buy several wheels
and not be unhappy. brent, bailey, and the stuart wheel.
they do the job.
axner kilns are well designed, and are all sprayed with
itc. the `wonder kiln` is a dandy. of course he has a
complete line of kilns, so it would be best to ask specific
questions.
as with my post the other day.....you match the wheel and kiln
with what you do. why buy a cxc brent if you do not make
pots over 10 pounds? most people rarely work in the 15-20 pound
range. so, match the wheel and kiln to the size and temp you
work in. if you are doing earthenware, well, most kilns will serve
you for years. if you are doing hi temp work, well the wonder kiln,
the skutt, LL and paragon top end kilnswill serve best. (and a half
dozen others that i have not seen or used.)
there are loads of great products. buy local, make sure you
get service with your purchase.
it is like buying a car on the internet....who has the guarantee?
who does the service?
if you buy from a drop shipper you do not know...well
you can use up your savings in one year...fast.
it is like annie at the `mud pie shop`.
she gets folks in wanting her to
repair wheels and kilns that get dropped shipped
from bennet's. is that her job? of course not.
so, in my opinion, buy as local as you can, or from
a very reliable national vendor like axner, bailey.
demand service.
