The 12 inch pottery wheel V-1216 is designed for potters who need a larger working surface and smooth speed control for wheel throwing. It features a specially designed 200W single-phase DC motor, a 12-inch aluminium working plate and a variable speed knob that lets you adjust the wheel from 0 to 220 RPM.
With a clay throwing capacity of approximately 15–20 kg, this pottery wheel is suitable for beginners, hobby potters, pottery classes and regular studio work.
Variable Speed Control from 0 to 220 RPM
The V-1216 uses a specially designed knob system to increase or reduce the wheel speed according to your needs.
You can start at a low speed while centering the clay. Then, increase the speed as you open and shape your pottery. This gives you better control throughout the throwing process.
12-Inch Aluminium Working Plate
The wheel comes with a 12-inch aluminium working plate. The larger working surface gives you enough room to work on a variety of pottery forms.
For example, you can make bowls, plates, platters, vases, planters and other wheel-thrown ceramic pieces.
15–20 Kg Clay Throwing Capacity
The V-1216 can handle approximately 15–20 kg of clay, depending on the form, clay condition and throwing technique.
Therefore, it is suitable for potters who want to work with both small and medium-sized pottery forms while having enough capacity for larger projects.
Smooth & Stable Wheel Performance
The V-1216 is designed to provide stable rotation with minimal vibration during pottery throwing. The wheel is also designed to maintain its speed while you shape your clay.
This helps you work more comfortably when centering, opening and pulling clay walls.
Motor Cooling & Protection
A fan located inside the motor helps cool the motor during operation. In addition, fuses provide short-circuit protection for added electrical safety.
The motor is fitted inside a sheet-metal box, while the motor itself is mounted on a wooden sheet to help separate it from the main power supply.
Powder-Coated Box & Tray
The motor box and tray feature a powder-coated finish. This finish helps protect the surfaces and supports long-term use in a pottery studio.
The metal construction also provides a sturdy base for regular pottery work.
Easy to Operate & Portable
The V-1216 has a straightforward knob control, making it easy to operate. Its design also makes it portable, so you can move it when needed and set it up in different pottery spaces.
It is suitable for home studios, pottery classes, workshops and other ceramic workspaces.
Low Electricity Consumption
The specially designed 200W DC motor helps keep electricity consumption low while providing the power required for regular pottery throwing.
As a result, the V-1216 can be a practical choice for potters who want an easy-to-operate wheel for regular use.

How to Use the Pottery Wheel
