Cowley Double-drive potters wheel


Recommended Posts

Hi

Does anyone have an electrical circuit diagram for this wheel please?

I’m a kiln/wheel engineer & someone kindly gave me two old wheels that they were throwing out, as their local electrician couldn’t get them working!

I’ve got one motor working, but the other ( the newer one) has a similar switch, but fewer wires to the motor.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Cowley Double Drive, hmm, made in New Zealand?
"Double" - perhaps on account of familiar cone and drive ring speed is reduced by pulleys and belt to the wheel head shaft...
Which model? ...there may be a model and serial number somewhere.

Here's an "Operating Manual" dated 2018 cowley_wheel_manual.pdf (bathpotters.co.uk)
Newer manual includes parts diagram and list, alas, no wiring diagram MASTER Pottery Wheels Owners Manual Jan 2024.pdf (wsimg.com)
The vendor (firedupkilns) may be able to help, however.

Hulk…Thanks very much for this info.

I have already seen the operators manual, but the other document is useful too.

I think I’m going to have to call into one of my customers, who has a few of these, & take some photos of the connections.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Mike
