8.5 Inch Square Pottery Bat

The Avery MDX85 is an 8.5 inch square pottery wheel bat designed for ceramic artists who prefer the feel of wood. It suits potters seeking a durable throwing surface that resists warping and chipping with proper care.

Thermals Noise Power

As a non-powered ceramic accessory, the bat generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no electricity during normal studio use. Its Medex construction remains stable at room temperature without active cooling.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The bat maintains flatness through repeated wet-clay cycles and shows very limited warping over extended sessions. It offers the longevity associated with plastic or plaster while retaining the working properties potters expect from wood.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the 8.5 inch square MDX85 bat to my wheel head?

Centre the bat on the wheel head and press it firmly onto the standard bat pins; the step people miss is ensuring the pin holes sit flush so the bat cannot shift during throwing.

What care will the Medex bat need over time?

Wipe the surface clean after each session, dry it fully before storage, and avoid soaking; this prevents the limited warping or chipping mentioned for wooden bats.

When will the 0.12 lb bat show its limit during a long throwing session?

The thin profile can flex slightly under heavy, wet clay loads, so the first sign of strain is usually a subtle bow in the centre during sustained centring pressure.
