[Anyone Have A Really Old Creative Industries Model Mp Wheel?]

Ah, hah! That's interesting. It's a pretty solidly built wheel... and I know what you mean about the newer ones. I just started this journey last summer and the first wheel I brought home was a used clay boss which caused a few emotional breakdowns. Shudder... a very traumatic time. Although, on the positive side, learning (or more accurately, fighting) on that sub-par wheel makes me feel like I almost know what I'm doing on my Brent wheels... and the little Ci wheel I just brought home is about a hundred times better than that horrific beast that reduced this grown woman to years.

 

Thanks for all your input, Mark! If you find any other info on it, I'd be happy to hear it.

Hi Mark- Yes, it's our only clay supply place in San Diego. Here's the link:

Richard has owned it for years and I know he knew the Ci people pretty well back in the day (El Cajon is only a few miles from here). I'm going to take the picture in later this week, to see if he has any ideas. The thing is, because the wheel sits so close to the edge of the table, I'll need to find something that will be stable there as well, I think? Will probably end up having my husband build something- he's an architect after all, so you'd think he'd be able to whip something up!?!? Hope he doesn't see this... I think my custom orders are starting to annoy him ðŸ˜

Hi Emily- I realize this message is old, so you may have already found him: Richard at Freeform is very familiar with the old ci wheels. He knew the guys that started the company in El Cajon and still uses one of their old wheels today- the good ones.

I know this thread is old but thought maybe someone would have some input. We just bought an old MP model and within the first fifteen minutes of use the wheel sounds like it is rubbing on the plastic table - or from the bottom of the table where it is attached. I have called and left a message for speedball but any idea how to adjust this? It doesn't seem to make any difference in the speed or torque but I don't want to do permanent damage.

 

I am in the San Diego area - does anyone know of a technician who could look at it and make adjustments if I cannot figure it out?

 

Thanks!
