Brilliant wheel
I love this wheel, I got it recently and had only really used large wheels at classes so when getting my own wheel I was slightly worried it wouldn't be as comfortable to use or have as much power - I couldn't be more wrong, it's amazing at all speeds. Easy to control, no jerking, really responsive, and lovely and quiet. I would highly recommend.

I Love This Wheel
This wheel is just perfect. I am a hobby potter with a garden studio so didn’t want a huge wheel. This Shimpo is powerful yet quiet and I love the design of it too.

Hello, in regards to this wheel does it come with the splash pan?
I see it says in the accessories it mentions a two piece splash pan, this is where the confusion is coming from! Thank you! Lucy.

Does the wheel head come with bat pins or holes for bat pins?
Rob from United Kingdom

I see the foot pedal is attached to the body.
Is it possible to buy an external pedal for this model to make positioning it easier?
Dave from United Kingdom
I am sorry it is not possible to have a detachable pedal on this model wheel you may want to check out the RK3E or Whisper T models which do have a pedal on a lead, hope this helps.
