Giffin Grip Mini
Giffin Grip is the the ultimate tool for quickly centering and holding pots for trimming. It halves the time previously spent in trimming and makes trimming shapes that would otherwise have been left untrimmed possible.
The Giffin Grip Mini attaches to the wheel head with bat pins (both 6” and 10” wide pin spacing). The Mini is much lower profile than the Model 10 so your trimmings will stay in your splash pan! It also locks down once you’ve centered your pot so that it doesn’t loosen/tighten while you’re trimming. You can trim pieces starting at 5/8” in diameter all the way up to 9.5” in diameter.
Note: Model 10 parts are not compatible with the Mini (and vice versa).
I've been using the Giffin Grip Mini since September 2024, and it’s become my go-to for almost every trimming task. It saves a ton of time and is surprisingly versatile. I did notice a slight wobble, probably because the pin holes don’t align perfectly with my older wheel, but using a Batmate completely solves the issue. If you primarily throw small to medium-sized pottery, this is a very worthwhile investment.
