Shimpo RK-1X Classic is a high-quality potter's wheel with a powerful, non-vibration traction drive that has been built into the potter's wheel so large pieces and porcelain ware can be easily thrown. The easy-to-turn wheelhead can be used as a free-turning banding wheel. When the lever is pulled to the C-position, the clutch is disengaged and the wheelhead turns freely by hand. This is ideal for centering, patting, coiling, trimming, and panting. Other key features include:

• Metallic traction drive that has made possible a potter's wheel with remarkably strong power, smooth and quiet operation, and a wide speed range.
