Blue 12-inch circular pottery bat with smooth warp-resistant surface

BatMate 12 Inch Warp-Resistant Pottery Bat Blue

SKU CH-DV07-5SMQR

A 12-inch warp-resistant bat accessory that stabilises pottery wheels and controls moisture for precise throwing and trimming

  • Eliminates bat jitter for stable throwing on the wheel
  • Warp-resistant material maintains flatness through repeated use
  • Easy-clean surface reduces downtime between pieces
  • 12 inch diameter fits standard wheels for trimming bowls and plates
  • Moisture-control layer keeps the wheel head dry and slip-free

What BatMate Does for Your Wheel

The 12 inch blue BatMate sits on the wheel head and grips the bat to stop jitter while you throw. It absorbs excess moisture so the surface stays dry and stable. Potters who need a steady platform for bowls or plates will find it keeps the bat from shifting during centering and trimming.

How the Surface Changes the Session

The textured face holds the bat without adhesives and wipes clean with water between pieces. Because it controls slip, you spend less time re-centering and more time shaping. The material resists warping so the contact stays even across repeated firings and washes.

Where the 12 Inch Format Stops Helping

The disc only covers wheels that accept a 12 inch bat, so larger heads or specialty bats will overhang the edge. It adds a thin layer between wheel and bat, which can slightly alter the feel for throwers used to direct metal contact. Buyers who need a different diameter or a rigid metal interface will not be served by this size.
