Modelling wheel type MDS is equipped with a speed adjustable drive which is mounted on a rocker plate to allow disengagement, thus enabling manual rotation of the spindle. It is equipped with a cross type mould support. As an option it can also be delivered with a thick plaster plate or a stainless steel wheel. An exchange of wheel may turn this machine into a potter’s wheel. Modelling wheel type MDS-SH has been developed for schools and has some extra’s.
