[Skutt Model A Wheel Used]

lol funny, we got the Clay Boss and 2 weeks later picked up a brand spankin new J-230 18x27 L&L manual kiln still wrapped up and on the pallet with kiln shelf kit . Plus a used Shimpo Velocity that was and still is in good shape for $300.00 ..  you talk about 2 happy potters doing a little dance ...

Mark we purchased a Clay Boss last night after talking about all the used wheels  we have seen and what type of shape their in.. I think it will be a better starter wheel for us,plus warranty. We can always upgrade in due time.

that is actually a Skutt and Sons model B, im not sure what year but, the age of it and what I would have to go through to change the top belt is really what turns me off.. I have not seen a rope driven system although I understand how it works... I just don't think it would make a good first wheel for us..

This belt system is why we passed on it, not to mention the wheel is ran by rope tention..

all belt driven, we will pass...

their asking 250 for it...

 

if it has a reduction drive in it, it may be worth it ,, but if its a belt drive I don't think it is.. those gear boxes are  not cheap!!!

 

Its a Model B not A

I was told this wheel has a gear reduction box.. no belts.

We are going Saturday to look at a used Skutt model A wheel.. its in good condition and I am told it works just fine and has had low usage...

 

What I need is some help on what to check to make sure it is in working condition.. it has a foot controller with it ...

 

Thank you~Jim
