NEW Bold Red Styling
Red is the color of action, energy, power, and passion. We can’t think of a better color that matches the spirit and performance of our wheels. Skutt Wheels speak to this with the strongest motor in the industry and solid cast aluminum construction engineered and built in the USA. And now we back it up with a 10 year warranty.

Smooth Operation... Our new foot pedal technology allows for smoother transitions, giving ceramic artists the ability to express themselves with fine-tuned control. And the  SSX controller offers even smoother and quieter operation. 

The Motor... Skutt is the only company we know of that uses a Continuous Duty motor. These motors are tested under much more rigorous conditions so they need to be built tougher. That means heavy duty components that can stand up to the strain students (and big pot potter’s) can subject them to. Sometimes bigger is better.

The Wheel Head... on all Skutt Electric Wheels is removable! No, not with a screwdriver and a PHD in Engineering, just twist and pull up. This innovative design allows you to have full access to your splash pan for cleaning. If you have one of our removable splash pan designs you will definitely appreciate our one piece splash pan.

The Shaft... The biggest test of your wheel head shaft is to turn it lose on a big pot potter Like Scott Semple. Scott throws pots on over-sized bats that are over 6 ft tall. When you get that much clay, cantilevered out, that high…it puts a tremendous amount of stress on your shaft. Before Scott bought a Skutt wheel he actually bent a few. The shaft on a Skutt wheel is nearly twice the diameter of the competition.

The Controller... Our controllers use only the highest quality components. If you look at our controller side be side with competitors you will see that ours is often twice the size. This allows for larger, more robust components that are spaced properly to reduce heat.

The Foot Pedal... When you are talking about foot pedals the 3 most important factors are; the smoothness, how it ergonomically fits your foot, and how durable it is. Check, Check and Check! It was designed by a potter so it has to be smooth and feel good on the foot. He also knew he wanted to sell these things to schools and knew the constant abuse they would be subjected to so he built it stout using metal parts where others used plastic. You are going to love this foot pedal.

Built Like a Tank...Everything on this wheel is stout! Potters can put a lot of force on a wheel. We use them to brace our legs, we push around clay on the wheel head, heck… sometimes we even stand on it. You want that base to feel solid. The frame of the Legend is made of powder coated, 5/16″ cast aluminum. The legs are 1/8″ thick steel. The wheel head is the thickest on the market and the motor is the biggest. If you are looking for a wheel you can pick up and take on a picnic, this one might not be for you. If you are looking for a wheel that will last a lifetime…look no further. Click here to hear some of the best potters in the business explain why they use Skutt Wheels.

Handles Like a Sports Car... If wheels were fabrics…this one would be silk.The smoothness of a wheel is determined by a lot of things; the controller, the motor, the belt, the foot pedal…they all have to work together in a choreographed dance at high speeds, at low speeds, with a lot of clay and with very little. No one did a better job at coordinating these elements then Tom Forte when he designed this wheel. Sure, it is quiet, but it isn’t more important not to flop an 18″ porcelain platter?

Quality Control... Every Skutt wheel is fully tested and inspected before it leaves our factory. In the plant, every department is responsible for inspecting the work of the previous department on the line. We realize that mistakes happen. So instead of hiding mistakes we encourage our crew to find them and correct them.

Serving You Every Step Of The Way... It’s one thing to say you have the best customer service and support in the business, it’s quite another to back it up with 50 years of experience earning it. Skutt’s NEW 10 year warranty is straight forward. If you have a failed component on your new red Skutt wheel within 10 years of purchasing it, we will fix it. We will pay parts AND labor. Many of our full service distributors will even repair the wheel on site. Non-red Skutt wheels still retain the 5 year warranty that existed when purchased.
