Hi Everyone,
I searched but didn`t find this discussed elsewhere. I hope someone or more will help me meet my challenge.
I am new to throwing, but determined. I bought a used, but excellent condition, Shimpo/Nidec pottery wheel (whisper) with the 14" wheel head.
Everything I´ve read suggests that having using batts will make it easier to use the wheel - but the wheel head doesn`t have holes.
I bought batt pins - but I really don`t know where to start.
It seems really hard to turn the 45 kg wheel on its side to start the process of removing it.
Has anyone done this before?
Can I use a template I have, mark 2 holes ten inches apart and use an appropriate drill bit to drill through - without removing the wheel head? I´m comfortable with my measuring and use of the drill - but I was hoping to get ideas, feedback, encouragement and/or things to watch-out for before I take this risk.
Any and all help appreciated!
Thanks so much, Jen
