Throwing Rib - TR060

TR060 Pottery Throwing Rib | Precision Stepped Profile Template

Take the guesswork out of consistency and streamline your wheel throwing workflow. The TR060 Profile Rib is specifically engineered to help you shape uniform, clean-lined ceramics with perfect repeatability. Whether you are throwing a matching set of modern mugs or producing a large gallery run of stacked-foot cups, this precision-crafted tool ensures your walls, angles, and base details remain identical from the first piece to the last.

🌟 The Universal Double-Bevel Advantage
Forget having to sort through separate right-handed or left-handed versions on your studio table.
-Dual-Direction Bevel: Masterfully engineered to work seamlessly whether your pottery wheel spins clockwise or counter-clockwise.
-Versatile Utility: Perfect for both left- and right-handed potters, making it an excellent investment for shared home studios or community art spaces.

Key Studio Benefits:
-Flawless Forms, Every Time: Effortlessly guide your clay against the rib’s crisp, stepped geometry to achieve a sharp, modern foot and tapered wall profile.
-Ergonomic Finger Grips: Integrated dual-hole cutout provides a secure, non-slip grip when working with slick, wet clay and heavy slip.
-Eco-Conscious Craftsmanship: 3D printed using durable, high-quality bioplastic (PLA) designed to withstand daily use in a busy studio environment.
-Boost Efficiency: Drastically lower your hand-shaping and trimming time so you can focus on scaling your creative pottery production.

How to Use for Best Results:
-Prepare Your Form: Center, open, and pull your clay walls to their general height and thickness before introducing the template.
-Lubricate Plentifully: Keep the clay surface and the rib well-lubricated with clean water or throwing slip to prevent chattering or dragging.
-Shape with Steady Pressure: Hold the rib firmly at the 3 o’clock position on the outside of your piece, gently compressing and expanding the clay outward against the profile edge from the inside.
-Keep It Clean: Periodically rinse away heavy clay and slurry buildup during your throwing session.

Care, Maintenance & Shipping:
-Care Instructions: Hand wash with cold or lukewarm water after use. Do not expose to dishwashers, high heat, or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can warp the bioplastic. Note: Not food safe for direct contact.
-Reliable Shipping: Carefully packaged and shipped straight from Oklahoma, USA. Orders are processed within 1–5 business days to get you back to the wheel as quickly as possible.
