Pacifica GT-400
This is the PACIFICA GT400, it is a great wheel and slightly more affordable than the SHIMPO. It is very quiet but because it is belt driven it is noisier than the SHIMPO.
The wheel turns in either direction
This wheel will spin 50 pounds of clay at 0 - 250 RPM. The motor develops approx 1/2 horsepower.
The foot pedal is connected by a wire so it allows you place the wheel where it is comfortable to operate.
This is a stock photo, we have three of these wheels and they all had clay on them when I was taking pictures.
