Main Uses
-
Dividing raw clay blocks: Used for cutting large clay blocks into smaller pieces of desired size and weight. The U-shaped handle keeps the wire taut at all times, allowing for smooth and even cuts of clay into slabs or pieces.
-
Trimming and leveling surfaces: The taut wire is used to cut off excess clay from the rim or side walls of a vessel to level the clay surface for various forms.
Highlights
-
Automatic wire tension with spring frame: The U-shaped handle frame is made of highly flexible spring steel, which automatically keeps the stainless steel wire taut. This makes cutting clay easy and eliminates the need to hold the wire with your fingers, preventing pain unlike typical straight clay cutting wires.
-
Smooth, clean cuts: The wire is thin and sharp, reducing resistance when cutting through thick clay, resulting in smooth, beautiful cuts that are very easy to clean.
