Brent Pottery Wheels

These wheels are specifically designed to take the tough demands of everyday studio and classroom use over long periods.

Brent Slab Rollers

Brent SR-14 Slab Roller

The SR-14 is a large table model that can also be used as a floor model with the optional leg set. It includes two 1/4" shims with canvas and one 1/8" plain shim. Maximum slab dimensions: 14"W x 36"L. Maximum slab thickness is 1 3/4". Assembled dimensions: 27"W x 52"L x 40"H. All Brent Slab Rollers include a 1 year warranty.

Brent SR-20 Slab Roller

The SR-20 is a mid-sized floor model that can produce slabs up to 20"W x 52"L. It includes one 1/4" shim with canvas and one 1/8" plain shim. Maximum slab thickness is 1 1/2". Assembled dimensions: 34"W x 76"L x 40"H. All Brent Slab Rollers include a one year warranty.

Brent SR-36 Slab Roller

The SR-36 is a large floor model that can produce slabs up to 36"W x 52"L. Maximum slab thickness is 7/8". It includes one 1/4" plain shim, one 1/4" shim with canvas, and a 1/8" plain shim. Assembled dimensions: 49"W x 76"L x 40"H. IMPORTANT NOTE ON SR-36 SLAB ROLLER: Because the amount of clay and the mechanical pressure that is produced rolling a large slab, the middle of the bed may bow slightly, creating a slab that is thinner on the sides. This variation is more evident when rolling thinner slabs -- from 1/2" to 3/8". Its effect on thicker slabs is not quite as evident. This is a great slab roller for large projects, but those looking for thin, consistent slabs, may want to purchase one of our smaller models.

Brent SRC Slab Roller

The SRC is a portable slab roller designed for small projects (not for production or schools). It can be used on a table or as a floor model with the optional leg set and has a patented cable drive system with opposing rollers that produces even pressure along the bed. The SRC comes with one 1/4" shim with canvas, four 1/4" plain shims and one 1/8" plain shim. Maximum slab dimensions: 21"W x 40"L. Maximum slab thickness is 1 1/4". Assembled dimensions: 40"W x 51"L x 40"H. 

Brent SRC Mini Slab Roller

Portable, yet extremely sturdy, this slab roller is compact enough to fit on a table while rolling out slabs up to 14" W x 15" L. Maximum slab thickness is 3/4". The Mini SRC is ideal for taking to workshops or for studios with limited space. It is constructed of steel pipe and bent plate like the SRC so it will last for many years.

The barrel is 4 inches wide and holds 10 pounds of clay. An easy-to-remove end cap holds the die you choose. Pull the handle and use the extrusion for twists and braids, moldings, handles, cups or coils.
