PWIR-102 Clay Wire Slicer 16.5 cm
Product Details
The PWIR-102 Heavy-Duty Bow Clay Cutter, 16.5 cm, is a specially designed tool for tensioning a wire to cut clay, featuring an exceptionally strong frame. It is designed for slicing and shaping clay along a straight plane.
Primary Uses
-
Slicing Thick Clay Blocks: Its high bow structure and extended handle provide increased leverage, allowing the wire to easily slice through large or dense blocks of raw clay to create slabs or smaller pieces.
-
Trimming and Leveling Clay Surfaces: Used to trim clay surfaces for an even, straight finish, both on a pottery wheel (e.g., leveling uneven rim edges) or in hand-building to precisely cut straight edges of clay slabs.
-
Separating Work from Bat/Surface: Used to slide along the surface of a pottery wheel or bat to easily and quickly separate the base of a finished pot from the throwing surface.
Highlights
-
Thick Steel Frame with Integrated Handle: The frame is made from a single piece of thick, bent stainless steel, providing exceptional durability against pulling and pressing forces. It resists bending or deforming even with very viscous clay.
-
Tightly Tensioned, Sharp Wire: A stainless steel wire is securely and tightly tensioned at both ends, ensuring clean, smooth cuts without snagging the clay, and is easy to clean of clay residue.
