Rolfes Metal Banding Wheel / Turntable – 300mm

The Rolfes Metal Banding Wheel / Turntable (300mm) is a heavy-duty, precision tool designed for decorating and handling larger ceramic pieces with ease. Also known as a decorating wheel or “whirler”, it provides smooth, controlled rotation for accurate and consistent application of decorative techniques.

Constructed from solid metal, this banding wheel features a wide 300mm rotating top and a stable, weighted base for enhanced balance and control. The central bearing system ensures smooth, even movement, allowing artists to rotate pieces effortlessly while working.

The grooved surface assists with centring larger clay forms, making it ideal for creating clean, even bands of colour using slip, underglaze or stains. It is equally effective for sgraffito, glazing, airbrushing and blending techniques.

The larger working surface makes this wheel particularly suited for bigger pots, plates and sculptural pieces. It is also highly useful in hand-building processes such as coil and slab construction, as well as carving and refining forms.

Suitable for ceramic clay, air-dry clay and sculptural applications, this banding wheel is ideal for students, studios and professional ceramic artists working at a larger scale.
