Throwing Bats
PRODUCTION
BATS
Standard drill is two holes 10 inch center-to-center to fit Brent, new Pacificia, Soldner and many others.
Can be drilled just for Brent,
Shimpo or any other wheel on request.
Carry no extra charge for custom
drilling or for no drilling. You specify center-to-center distance and hole size (2
holes only).
The 13 and 15 inch diameters are
made in those sizes so that, when used on standard 12 or 14 inch wheelhead, 1/2 inch of
the bat overhangs all the way around the wheelhead, making it much easier to remove the
bat from the wheel without disturbing the thrown piece. No more prying, no more
broken fingernails!
PRODUCTION BAT
MATERIAL
 Standard production bats are made in several
sizes of three different materials:
Duron - Often called
"Masonite" is 1/4 inch thick, smooth on both sides, least expensive.
Cartons of 12.
Medex - Wood product without
formaldehyde, 3/8 inch thick. Handles clay like wood or Duron. Water proof,
no warping, extremely strong. Will not degrade like particle board. More
expensive but PERMANENT. Cartons of 6.
Plastic - 1/4 inch thick,
matte finish on both sides to hold and release clay more easily. Cartons of 10.
All production bats but one are simple flat
circles intended for wheelheads with two batpins. The exception is the Universal
Insert Bat, which saves a great amount of shelf space when making pieces with a small
"footprint". The outer bat is 1/2 inch thick Medex and the inserts are 1/4 inch
Duron which fit flush with the top of the outer bat. The inserts in 13 inch bats are
5-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches and those in 15 inch bats are 8 x 8 inches. Inserts remove
easily yet fit snugly enough that the cavity stays free of clay and slurry.
