Purchase options and add-ons

  • EASY TO USE: Bleecker Station's Bat System is easy to use - simply lift inner bats from the insert tab in the outer bat using your fingers or a flat potter’s tool. The outer bat has holes drilled through and is also easy and to slip onto and off your pottery wheel pins. Fits standard wheel heads with pin holes spaced 10” apart on center
  • SAVE SPACE: Save precious space in your ceramics studio by drying your pots on small square inserts instead of regular round bats, which can take up a foot of space or more on your shelves.
  • MORE ENJOYABLE: Masonite absorbs water allowing your pot to release itself as it dries, which is safer than cutting it off the wheel head with a wire and risk deforming or dropping it or leaving your fingerprints on the clay. Make throwing more enjoyable by eliminating the wiring off step altogether!
  • SAFE: Insert tab is wide enough to prevent fingers from getting caught while throwing on the wheel.
  • DURABLE: The inserts are made out of Masonite and the outer bat is made out of a water resistant, durable exterior-grade wood material. This bat system is designed to accommodate swelling from exposure to water, so unlike other bat systems the inserts should still fit into your adapter use after use. <p> MADE IN THE USA.</p>

Measure the attachment hole spacing

Measure the attachment hole spacing
Ordered this for my wheel and it's well made ... Except that the attachment holes for the bat holder are 10 1/2 inches at center and not 10 as advertised. Seems odd manufacturing error but rather than return we countersank two 3/8 nuts at 10 inches and moved on. Happy otherwise.
