I came upon the Max potters wheel in my quest to buy an electric. What are
your thoughts? Who has had practical experience with this make of wheel?
Pros and cons?

Hi Donald,

I own a Max. It is an outstanding wheel. I bought mine in about 1977. I
did have to buy a new controller/foot pedal for it a couple years ago
because it was starting to do some weird things. But the service from
the company was outstanding. The motor, gear box, and wheel head will
probably outlast me by several centuries. I place it up there with the
really top of the line wheels.

Regards,

John
