I guess I'll have to take your word for it! I live in Calgary AB and my local supplier doesn't stock wheels. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for this! Much appreciated... I would like the S100 if possible. I know that Brent splash pans work on the S wheels so that solves the mess problem. Going to look at the Skutt 1/3 as well!

Thanks Mark! Great advice. I've read that hp ratings aren't an exact science... It's more about how the pedal and controller handle the power and Soldner does more with less hp. The S50 is rated up to 50lbs. Is that the spec to work from? The frustration here is not being able to test drive or hear from someone who's used one.

I'm a fairly new potter and finding a used wheel has been near impossible with Covid. I'm looking at new wheels and Soldner appeals to me for a few reasons but, frustratingly, I can't go to my local Soldner dealer to look at one... (hint. It doesn't exist.....) Does anyone have experience working with these wheels?? I don't plan on throwing anything heavier than large bowls... Would the S50 do the job? Tim See on YouTube said the S100 is the only wheel he'd ever buy new. So that's something. PS. I've been throwing on a VL whisper thus far. I make alot of mugs, some bowls and plates. Thanks!! Adam
