Polseno Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hello All, I have a new pottery wheel, but I let one of my students use it and now the wheel won't stop spinning even when the pedal isn't in use. It's a very slow jerky spin. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you -Art Teacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a variety of wheels and the Shimpo wheels have a different foot pedal (attached the the wheel body). The video you shared was very helpful for fixing my own wheel pedal, now I want to fix the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
