I remember your first review, and I was impressed. After this one, I do believe I'm sold. I've been doing exclusively coil building up until now, but when I start throwing, I'm pretty sure this will be what I learn on. And it's great that it's going to a worthy cause!
Thanks, I would recommend buying one of there higher end wheels.
Ok how did you put the Removable water basin on the machine. Please help me explain
@@karleenablume167 It just clicks into place, you might have to push hard.
Always enjoyable and learning. Just hearing your thoughts on pottery and the business of pottery are interesting and I Learn a lot! Thanks for the effort!! I know it takes a lot of time!!
You are welcome.
Good morning. Another positive review! After your first one I thought and thought and finally ordered the "most expensive" Vevor (400-ish$). A friend had purchased one of the less expensive ones and I tried her's and was surprised at how well it performed. Mine is working really well, it has a very large wheel head and lots of power for up to 7 lb of clay so far. I have it up on a wooden chest so I can throw standing up, with the pedal sitting on a table to my right. I am used to using my hand for speed control as my old Shimpo has a hand control stick. I also use the Vevor for trimming. It's great to have one wheel for dark clay and one for white! For a beginner thrower, these inexpensive wheels seem to be a great answer. How nice to have a wheel at home to practice on. So, not for the professional potter maybe, but as a home studio person making smaller pieces, I think it's great. Good luck with your auction, I love the mugs you made!
Thanks Susan, I hope the lower prices of their wheels helps young kids afford to start throwing pots, 1/4 price of an Iphone.
One could also use a centre punch to get the pilot drill propoerly alligned as it stops the drill wandering off. also use a larger drill and by hand twist it to take off the burr and smooth out the edge of the hole.
I bought this wheel a month ago ( 450w version ) , loving it so far. I don't throw heavy weights around yet, so its perfect to begin.
Glad to hear that. Thanks
🤔Now you've got me thinking about buying one,
especially after your demonstration about adding bat pins .
It would be nice for dark clay. I really don't like having to do
a total clean up on my wheel when I want to throw brown clay.
I think it's nice that you are donating the wheel to help fund raising for
the new community radio station. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Vaughan!!!
Hi Connie. I do prefer the original one I reviewed last year. This one is smaller but seems just as powerful.
So glad you did this review! And after seeing several other reviews, I bought this exact wheel. I feel that you've given such good instructions on throwing, that I could learn to throw without any in person instruction! After half a dozen tries and 3 different clay bodies, I've been able to throw a small bowl and a cylinder. Not nearly as nice as yours of course, but I think it's a good start. Will definitely need to drill holes for a bat system. Not much room around the splash pan to effectively remove the pieces without distorting a little. Thank you, Vaughan!!! You are a great potter and I just love watching your videos!!!
I think getting the 12 inch wheel head is a better choice. I gave all three wheels away and I have not had any complaints from them. Happy Potting.
@@Vsmithpots I’m interested in the 12-inch but don’t see it on Amazon. Did you try the 12-inch and do you have a link with code?
@@denisesarazin6753 try going right to VEVOR.com
I really appreciate the review. As a beginner I have looked at these and wonder if it would be worth it if used say around 3 hrs per day, 3-4 days a week. I am thinking this is likely not a work horse machine like a Brent or Shimpo. I love what you responded above... make a few good selling items and it will pay for itself in a few throwings (Would def take this newbie more than 1-2 throwings to produce something I could sell!) 😂
I am learning so much from you. You have no idea how grateful I am to you!
Thanks Gabriella, I think it is meant for light use rather than production throwing all day on it. It looks sound enough and should last years if taken care of.
Hi Vaughan, Is this the wheel being auctioned or is it the other one you reviewed? I want to make a bid, but I just want to know which wheel I'm is in the auction.
Sorry I just saw the rest of the video and see that this is the one.
How many pounds of clay do you think it could handle? Is it a mug and small bowl only wheel? I’d love to have a wheel that I could put on my deck during the summer - my old Shimpo is way too heavy to haul up from the basement 😂
I showed throwing 5 1/2lbs and it did fine.
@@Vsmithpots great, thank you!
Would it work okay for chattering?
Any wheel will work for chattering, it is the tool that creates the vibration.
I bought this wheel - can you tell me if it's okay with the wheel not aligned horizontally?
If it is spinning off center or wobbling up and down it should not be doing that, you should ask for a refund.
@@Vsmithpots Thank you. I reported it to vevor but the technicians do not see the problem. I will talk to them further I have a video recorded. Can you take a look at it - I'll send message on Messenger because I can't post a link here.
OK may be you could download it to youtube.@@marcinszczur4130

Disappointing that you've made this review. These machines are cheap but extremely limited, it's difficult for beginners to centre clay because an adult can stop the wheels with their hands. Being piss poor at the time I bought two of these when they were dirt cheap and no one was promoting them on YT. The first one broke within the first hour of using it and I couldn't get a return because they're manufactured in China. The second wheel would occasionally wobble and squeal... Advantages are they are small, easy to move around and fairly easy to keep clean. An experienced potter can throw upto 5lb of clay on these wheels, but intermediate and beginner potters (18 months experience) will have difficulty handling more than 3lb of clay. I only persevered with the wheel at home because I could improve my skills in a pottery class on more powerful wheels. I've recently bought a 'proper' wheel and there is no comparison!! If you can afford to buy a decent second hand wheel that is by far a better option.
I think if you have $1300CA you can buy the least expensive wheel in Canada made by all the usual manufacturers we see here. This wheel will let hobbyists and students experience making pottery for the first time and just spend S339CA, free shipping. Every beginner will have trouble on whatever wheel they start with, it is very hard to learn how to throw. When I started making pottery my wheel cost $300, back then almost 50 years it was a lot. Vevor makes lots of wheels and I recommend getting the more expensive ones from them, the original one I reviewed last year throws better than this one but it was $100 more than this one, it is also larger and heavier. You always get what you pay for and if you have $2000CA or more to spend you should get a Shimpo whisper, that is my favourite wheel. I have 3 Shimpo Lites and those are over $1000CA plus tax and shipping here in Canada. This wheel is pretty basic and if you have the need for a second wheel or just want to try throwing for the first time it will work fine. The pots I threw in the video will sell for $200, add another 5 coffee mugs and you just paid for the wheel in one session. It would also be a splendid trimming wheel for anyone who has a wheel and wants to keep their clay trimmings from mixing in the muddy waters of a throwing wheel. Sorry you had a poor experience with the wheel you bought, they give a 1 year warranty and 30 day return policy.
I also bought a Pacifica wheel 6 years ago for $700 and it broke twice in the first year, each time I had to pay the shipping back to California, $100 each time. The first time I paid to do this, on return it broke within a month. I decided not to pay the second time and hired an electrician to fix it here at my cost. Wheels are pretty basic so you could fix yours. Today all the stuff is made in China, even my apple computer I am typing on, there will always be odd lemons in any industry but so far the wheels they have sent me work fine.
