Plasti-Bat SALE
Plasti-Bat was designed by studio potters to be a versatile,
long-lasting, high-quality bat that is virtually indestructible.
Made of 1/4" -3/8" thick, very rigid, high impact plastic, they
will provide continuous use, will not splinter, delaminate, swell or
shrink. Easy to clean and are impervious to water and most
chemicals. Has a non-absorbent, positive adherence surface so clay
does not slide or turn loose while centering. Note:
All our wheels are sold with bat pins, which hold the bats in place. The
majority of people buy drilled bats. Even if some has a wheel
without bat pins, they can be easily added. It is not difficult
to drill through the wheel head and add pins. plastibat

Brent
BioBat New!
An eco-friendly version of the AMACO Plasti-Bat
available in 12" and 14" diameters. One of the first products in the Brent Green Series, the
BioBat is made of bio-composite material combining 100% reclaimed
organic fiber with 100% recycled thermoplastic. It is virtually indestructible, does not splinter,
delaminate, swell or shrink.
The organic fiber used for the BioBat is a normal by-product of the
forestry industry, so no additional wood has been depleted in
production. The BioBat has slightly more texture than the Plasti-Bat, is
much like a wood bat in that it's textured on both sides. It is
more rigid than plastic bats and does not bend or flex easily, which
enables potters and students to keep vessels completely flat when
removing the bat from the wheel head.
BioBats are available in 12"
and 14" diameter and are drilled with bat pin holes at 10 inches. |

Pure
& Simple Bat System
|
Pour your own plaster bats using flat mold
(10", 13", 15" or 18"). Press Quick Release
Part 1 (mold) into plastic while wet to make impression. When bats
dry, they fit right onto the Quick Release Part II (wheel head), making
it easy to attach and switch between plaster bats. 18" bats
require 18" adapter. Molded from very tough plastic for
extreme durability.
In additional to flat bats, you can use this
system with the optional bowl and plate shaped bats, where you "throw"
the clay over the hump while it is on the spinning wheel. It is
easy to throw feet onto the bowl at this time, rather than trimming
later. Slump and Hump molds available here.
With the Pure & Simple Bat Mold System you
can produce plate sets more quickly an easily.
Throwing on a domed bat allows you to throw
lids, bowls, and plates complete w/ no trimming necessary.
|
Lids and bowls are thrown complete, without
trimming.
Produce uniform plates and
platters with our domed molds. |
