I decided to buy a table top pottery wheel.  The two most highly recommended table top pottery wheels I could find, are the Shimpo Aspire and the Speedball Artista.  But which one is the best?   

I wanted a table top pottery wheel that I could put in the back of my car, and transport easily.  It was also important that I found something that I could store easily when I wasn’t using it.  But equally, I wanted something sturdy, strong, and well made. 

So, I did some research in my quest to make a decision, and this is what I found out about each of them.

table top pottery wheel

The Shimpo Aspire Table Top Pottery Wheel

Here are some of the features of the Shimpo Aspire.  The first thing that most of us want to know about is the price range, so let’s cover that first….

The price range for the Shimpo Aspire is between $480 and $544 depending on the features of the model you chose.  As such it is one of the most affordable pottery wheels you can buy.  A table top pottery wheel is a more economical option and will cost less than a free-standing pottery wheel.

Shimpo Aspire – View on Blick

The Basic Set-Up

The Shimpo Aspire is compact.  It is 9” high, 14.5” wide, and 20” long.  And it weighs only 25lb.  This means that you can move it about easily.  And you can store it on a shelf out of the way when you are not using it.

To make it this compact, Shimpo have made the wheel head a little smaller than standard.  The wheel head is the disc that is attached to the motor and spins.  It is the plinth that you make your pots on.  On most pottery wheels the wheel head has bat pins.  These are basically metal nuts that you can attach a bat onto. 

Not all pottery wheels have bat pins, so, you can’t easily attach a wheel bat.  The beauty of bats is that once you have made your pot, you can lift the bat off the wheel.  The bat and the pot can then be put to one side to dry a little before trimming.

Most pottery wheel heads are 11” or wider, with bat pins that are positioned 10” apart from one another.  The wheel head on the Shimpo Aspire is 7” wide.  And the bat pins are positioned 6” apart.  The actual bats that Shimpo supply are 9 ¾” wide.  So, once the bat is attached, your throwing area is larger than the wheel head.

With the Shimpo Aspire the nuts for the wheel head arrive separately, and you simply screw them into place.  Then you can press the bat onto the bat pins.  The holes on the underside of the bats are lined with rubber gaskets so the bat grips in place firmly.  This helps to prevent the bat from wobbling when it is in place.

Bats for the Shimpo Aspire

This table top pottery wheel comes with two plastic Shimpo bats as standard.  When you are buying additional bats, you will need to buy bats that have holes 6” apart.  This, however, is not a problem.  Obviously, Shimpo themselves supply additional bats that fit this wheel.  But you can also buy Masonite bats from Dirty Girl that fit the Shimpo Aspire.

Another option is to buy your bats from North Star Equipment .  North Star will drill your bat pin holes wherever you need them to be at no extra charge. 

Because the wheel head is a little smaller than other wheels, the Shimpo Aspire is not compatible with Giffin Grips.  A Giffin Grip is a trimming tool that attaches to the wheel head and bat.  The Giffin Grip holds pots in place as the wheel head turns and you trim

Luckily there is a trimmer made to fit the Shimpo Aspire.  It’s called a Bailey Quick Trim.  The Bailey Quick trim comes in different sizes.  The one that fits the Aspire is the small 12.5” diameter Bailey Quick Trim. 

The great thing about the Bailey Quick Trim is that it retails at around $95. This is less expensive than the Giffin Grip, which normally retails at around $200.

The Splash Pan

Cleaning your wheel is not the most exciting aspect of making pottery.  However, it is something that you should do every time you use your pottery wheel.  So, having a splash pan that is easy to clean is a big plus. 

The splash pan on the Shimpo Aspire is made in one piece.  The good thing about this is that it doesn’t leak.  Some two-piece splash pans leak at the joint and make a mess. 

The Shimpo Aspire splash pan is also very easy to remove.  Once you have removed your pot along with the wheel bat, the splash pan simply lifts off.   You can then easily rinse it and attach it back onto the wheel.

To attach the splash pan back in place, you lower it down over the wheel head.  Once it is in place, you turn it gently so that it locks in place.

The Controls

The Aspire can be operated by a hand lever or a foot pedal.  When you buy the wheel, you can specify if you want a hand lever or a foot pedal operated model. 

However, if you buy the hand lever option and change your mind, you can get a foot pedal conversion kit.  This is very easy to install.

shimpo aspire foot pedal

Shimpo Aspire Foot Pedal – View on Blick

Whether you want the hand lever or the foot pedal depends on how you throw your pots.  Some potters will set the speed when they start a piece.   And throw at that speed as they make the whole pot.  If that is your style, then a hand lever may be a good option.  As you don’t need to constantly adjust the lever as you are throwing. 

However, other potters will vary the speed of the wheel head quite a bit as they throw.  And for them, the foot lever may be a better option.  I fall into this category, and I much prefer a foot pedal.  Also, I don’t really like operating levers and switches with hands covered in clay slip.  It’s just more clean-up!

The Shimpo Aspire pottery wheel is fast.  RPM is the number of times the wheel head rotates per minute.  The hand lever Shimpo Aspire spins at 0-230 rpm.  Whilst the foot pedal model spins at 0-250 rpm.  Both the hand lever and foot pedal models have plenty of speed.

How fast you like the wheel head to spin is a personal choice.  Some potters like to work at a slow speed.  And some like to work at faster speeds.  Therefore, RPM is important, and this is one of the positive features of the Shimpo Aspire.  However, having a high RPM does not necessarily equate to having power.  So, how powerful is the Shimpo Aspire?

The Aspire has 1/3 or 0.33 HP and can center up to 20lb of clay.  To put this in perspective, to make a large mug you need between 1-2lb of clay  So, if you make regular-sized pottery such as mugs and bowls, the Shimpo Aspire will be more than adequate.

Another very big bonus with the Shimpo Aspire is that it has a 100-watt motor.  This means that you can plug it into a 400W inverter.  The inverter can then be plugged into a lighter socket in a car.  And you can use your wheel when you are out and about.  This is perfect if you like to throw outdoors in nature.  Or if you want to use demonstrate using the wheel at outdoor events. 

However, one of the only drawbacks of the Shimpo Aspire is the positioning of the motor.  The motor is housed in a plastic casing next to the wheel head.  The plastic casing can be used as two platforms to support your water bucket and tools. 

However, because the two platforms are next to the wheel head, you can’t throw very wide pieces.  For example, making a very wide platter would not be possible on the Shimpo Aspire.  Bowls, regular-sized plates, cups, mugs, and vases are fine.  But large diameter platters would not be feasible.  So, if making large platters is your thing, then the Aspire might not be for you.

Although this wheel is light and compact, it does stay in place whilst you throw.  It has 6 rubber feet on the base, that grip onto the surface you place it on.  My concern about a table top pottery wheel was whether it would be too light to stay in one place.  But all reports on the Shimpo Aspire indicated that it stays put once you have settled down to work.

Wheel Head Direction

This table top pottery wheel does not have a reverse switch.  The direction you prefer your wheel to turn is a matter of personal choice.  Most right-handed potters prefer their wheel to turn counter-clockwise.  And the majority of left-handed potters prefer it to go clockwise.  But this is not always the case. 

Although the Shimpo Aspire doesn’t have a reverse switch, you can specify wheel head rotation when you buy it.  Whilst a reverse switch can be handy, it isn’t essential by any means.

Overall, I found that there were lots of plus points to the Shimpo Aspire.  But how does it compare to the other popular table top pottery wheel, the Speedball Artista?  Let’s take a look at that model and see…

The Speedball Artista Table Top Pottery Wheel

Here are some features of the Speedball Artista, to help you decide which table top pottery wheel is best for you.  Again, let’s start with the all-important question of price range…

The Speedball Artista ranges from around $460 for a lever-operated model to $564 for a foot pedal model.  So as far as price goes, this is pretty much on a par with the Shimpo Aspire. There is not much to call between the two brands in terms of price.

speedball artista pottery wheel

Speedball Artista – View on Blick

Basic Set-Up

The Speedball Artista is lightweight and weighs only 26lb.  Its dimensions are a little larger than the Aspire, measuring in at 9”x18”x24”, so it’s a little wider and longer.  However, unless space is at a premium for you, an extra few inches all around, may not be an issue.

The wheel head is just under 4” above the table top, and it is 11” in diameter.  So, this table top pottery wheel, has a standard-sized wheel head, in spite of being lightweight and compact.

The bat pins arrive separately in the packaging, but they are easy to screw into place.  And, the distance between the bat pins is a standard 10”.  This means that you can use a range of different brands of wheel bat. 

You get two bats in with the package.  One of these is a 7-inch square bat and the other is a 12” round bat.  In addition to this, you also get two buckets that sit securely into two cup holders on the wheel.  These buckets can be used to hold tools and water. 

The splash pan comes in two parts. To remove it you have to pop off the smaller part of the splash pan.  You then slide the other larger section of the splash pan off.  It is easy to remove and clean, and easy to put back into place.  You don’t have to remove the wheel head or bats to remove the splash pan. 

The splash pan on the Speedball Artista locks into place through a sliding mechanism.  You slide the splash pan into a groove and then secure it in place with the second section of the pan.  This is different from the Shimpo Aspire which locks in place by lowering the splash pan over the wheel head.  And then twisting it to lock it securely.  Both these locking designs work well, and it’s really a matter of personal preference which appeals to you most. 

The Speedball Artista can be operated by hand or by using an optional plug-in foot pedal. 

Hand Operation:  The on/off power switch is located on the right-hand side of the wheel.  Right next to this is a dial or knob, that controls the speed at which the wheel head rotates.  This has a smooth operation and can be altered as you throw.

However, if you prefer to use a foot pedal, the Speedball Artista has a foot pedal that can be plugged in easily.  It has a jack adaptor that can be simply be plugged in.  One thing to be aware of is that if you plug the foot pedal in, it overrides the dial control.  So, you can either use the foot pedal or the dial, you won’t be able to use both at the same time.

speedball artista foot pedal

Speedball Artista Foot Pedal – View on Blick

This table top pottery wheel has an operating speed of 0-220 RPM.  Therefore, it has a slightly lower RPM than the Aspire.  However, as stated earlier, having a higher RPM does not necessarily equate to being more powerful.  So, how does the Speedball Artista compare in terms of power?

The Speedball Artista also has 1/3 HP (0.33).  But what does this mean?  If it has slightly lower RPM than the Aspire and it has the same Horsepower, then surely it is less powerful? 

Actually no, the spec on the Speedball Artista states that it can center up to 25lb of clay, which is more than the Shimpo Aspire.  And plenty of potters are of the opinion that the Speedball Artista has more torque than the Shimpo Aspire.  

Torque is the force at which an object rotates around an axis.  In the case of a pottery wheel, it is the force with the wheel head turns on its shaft.  If it has plenty of torque it won’t slow down or stop rotating as you put it through its paces. 

All the research I did suggested that the Speedball Artista was less likely to slow down as it worked harder. 

Like the Shimpo Aspire, the Speedball Artista does not have a reverse function.  However, you can specify if you want a wheel that turns counterclockwise or clockwise.  Right-handed wheels rotate counterclockwise, and left-handed wheels rotate clockwise.

Optional Extras

One of the benefits of the Speedball Artista is that you can buy attachable legs.  This gives you the flexibility to transform it from a table top pottery wheel to a free-standing wheel.  This is a real asset. 

You can buy lightweight aluminum folding legs which you can transport with you or fold away after using the wheel. 

Or you can buy static steel legs if you want to switch to a free-standing wheel more permanently.

The Verdict on Table Top Pottery Wheels

A table top pottery wheel is at the lower end of the price range as pottery wheels go.  However, both the Shimpo Aspire and the Speedball Artista are in the same price bracket of around $460-560.  And even though it’s at the lower end, it’s still a chunk of money for most people. 

So, I wanted to make sure that I was choosing wisely.  In the end, I decided to go for the Shimpo Aspire.  The reason for this was that it is a little more compact.  Also, you have the option of plugging it into an inverter and running it from a car battery.  I liked the idea of being able to go alfresco and throw pots in the countryside.  In the end, this video swung it for me…

SIMON LEACH POTTERY TV - We are back ! - Shimpo Aspire wheel review ! Dec 19 '13

On paper, the Shimpo Aspire has a slightly lower centering capacity at 20lbs.  But I figured that by the time I’m throwing pots that large, it will probably be time for an upgrade anyway.

Of course, different potters will have different needs, and you may decide differently.  Both of these models stood up very well to scrutiny, and in truth, I think either would be great.  I just felt that on balance the one for me was the Aspire. Whichever table top pottery wheel you choose, I hope you enjoy many hours of pottering.

Detailed Review Of The Nidec Shimpo VL Whisper Pottery Wheel

tour de table shimpo

My Top Considerations For Selecting A Pottery Wheel For My Home Studio – Reasons Why I Purchased The VL Whisper Wheel

Brand name / reputation.

I wanted to be sure I purchased a wheel that was manufactured by a reputable company.

There are a lot of no-name brands out there, so there are a lot of options to sift through. Shimpo has been making pottery wheels since 1958. The company was acquired by Nidec Corporation in the 1990’s and had more recently formalized a brand transition to the Nidec-Shimpo name that is most familiar today. In a nutshell, this is a company that has been making quality pottery machines for over half a century. That’s good enough for me!

Price Range

While you can certainly spend less on a pottery wheel, the price point of the VL Whisper is in the mid-range for this caliber of pottery wheel. The quality and features make it feel like a great value, when compared to some machines that are significantly higher in price, for not much added benefit.

Nidec offers a 5-year warranty on this model, and it is a direct-drive (beltless motor) wheel. I hope to be using this wheel for more than 5 years, but I’m comfortable with the idea that if something is to go wrong with this machine, I have a nice buffer period of 5-years of warranty coverage. Some other brands offer a 10-year warranty, but most also carry a significantly heftier price tag for that added benefit. Again, the Shimpo VL Whisper wheel landed at a nice value trade off of warranty coverage for the price.

For a professional studio, or someone running a high production operation, it’s quite possible that you’d want to consider my high end wheel recommendation, and you can read more about that here . However, for the typical hobbyist, the VL Whisper will suit your needs (and then some).

Clay Capacity

The clay capacity of this model is up to 100 lbs. of clay. That is PLENTY for my needs. Most projects I work on use a far smaller clay weight , but I wanted to be sure that the quality of my wheel could handle the odd large project (and that the motor construction would hold up to a higher demand).

Important Features – Specific Features I Was Looking For In A Wheel

While these features may not be as important to other Potters, depending on your specific needs, I wanted to point out these nice features of the Nidec Shimpo VL Whisper wheel. These were important features for me, and factored into my purchasing decision.

A Switch-Reversible Wheel Head

Because one of my daughters is left-handed, I wanted to ensure we could easily switch the wheel head direction. The VL Whisper changes direction with the flip of a switch on the side of the machine. It doesn’t get easier than that!

Beware that some wheels will advertise as ‘reversible’, but the process for doing so requires taking apart some of the components and using tools each time. NOT practical if you have different-handed wheel throwers who will be sharing the wheel.

A Sturdy Foot Pedal

The construction and function of the foot pedal was important to me, just because it’s such a critical component to a pottery wheel’s overall operation. The included foot pedal operates smoothly and is nice and heavy underfoot, so it feels sturdy and I expect it to perform well over the long haul!

I have found the foot pedal to be quite smooth and responsive underfoot, and will update this post if I find otherwise over time.

A Large Wheel Head (14″), Pre-Drilled For Bat Pins

Wheels are typically available in 12″ and 14″ wheel head sizes, and I wanted the larger wheel head. Not only does it accommodate wider projects, it was the size I was used to working on in pottery classes at school and also in my community studio, so I was afraid that opting for anything smaller would feel like a downgrade.

Considerations That Were Less Important To Me (But May Be Important To Other Potters):

Included accessories.

Less important to me, were the accessories included with this wheel. While some other wheel brands will include things like bats, I wanted to make my selection based on the wheel itself. While I don’t mind spending some money on extra accessories that weren’t included, that may be a factor that’s worth considering in overall value.

However, the VL Whisper does come with a heavy-duty splash pan as well as a sturdy metal foot pedal. The wheel head is also pre-drilled for bat pins, and a set of bat pins also included!

Adjustable Legs / Table-Top Option

This was not an important feature for me, because I do not intend to use this as a table top wheel. It’s worth noting, however, that the legs on the VL Whisper are fully adjustable, and can collapse down to turn this into a table-top pottery wheel.

If you need a table top option, that might be a big selling feature of this model!

Possible Cons To This Model For Some Potters:

The max rpms of this wheel is 210. If you’re used to a wheel that has a 240 rpm max (like I was), you’ll notice that max speed is a bit slower than you’re used to. However, I don’t miss the fastest setting.

A Note On Sound / Noise Level:

My studio is located in an unfinished storage space in our home’s basement. For that reason, I wasn’t worried too much about the overall noise level of the wheel itself. But it’s worth noting… that this wheel is called the VL Whisper for a reason! If you’re used to working on another brand of wheel like a Brent (the most common brand I’ve seen used in community studios), you’ll definitely notice how silent this wheel is when running. It’s incredibly quiet, even at full speed. If sound is a consideration in your space, that is most certainly a selling point of this model.

The following specs are taken from the instruction manual* that came with this wheel:, if you like the features list of the vl whisper, i can attest that i think it’s a great option for the home pottery studio.

Because wheels are heavy, you’ll generally have to pay a bit extra for shipping. However, making the right selection when you purchase your first potters wheel should keep you happy in the studio for many years to come.

tour de table shimpo

tout apprenti potier aura envie un jour d'être autonome.

et vouloir enfin avoir son propre tour à la maison !

quel plaisir de se dire qu'à tout moment on peut tourner.

Alors lequel choisir parmi tous les modèles.

je vais vous éclairer sur les principales caractéristiques importantes avant d'acheter

1 : le moteur

Premier point à regarder c'est la puissance du moteur.

les tours les moins puissants commencent à 100w et les plus puissants vont jusqu'à 750w

je trouve qu'un moteur de 100 w est très limite!

le problème c'est quand vous allez trop appuyer sur la pièce il va ralentir et c'est très désagréable!

Surtout qu'en progressant vous allez tourner de plus en plus de grosses pièces et là ça va être un vrai problème!

je pense que les plus polyvalents ce sont les moteurs entre 300 et 500 w.

un 750w ne sert pas à grand chose sauf si vous voulez tourner

des amphores romaines de 80 cm !!

ne pas ce fier au descriptif du tour ils exagèrent toujours.

il existe deux types pour entraîner la girelle.

-Par courroie

-entraînement direct

Je n'ai pas de préférence entre les deux.

Deuxième point important c'est la girelle

On trouve sur le marché des girelles entre 20cm et 35 cm.

je pense q'une girelle entre 25 et 30 cm suffit surtout que l'on peut augmenter son diamètre avec des rondeaux en bois.

3 : Les décibels

Important c'est le bruit que le tour peut produire !

C'est vite fatiguant d'avoir un tour bruyant !

Donc plus c'est silencieux et plus c'est agréable mais plus cher.

Les tours à entraînement direct avec des moteurs électroniques (shimpo)

sont moins bruyants

tour de table shimpo

4 : la pédale

On retrouve deux différents type de pédale

le plus agréable ce sont les pédales mobiles (pas fixe au tour).

elle sont très souples mais attention de pas appuyer dessus sans faire exprès!

tour de table shimpo

le deuxième type de pédale ce sont les pédales fixes donc accrochées au tour et elles ont souvent une barre de réglage haute accrochée.

elle sont souvent assez dures.

5 : la fonction réversible

Cette fonction est très souvent incluse dans les tours.

Très pratique pour le tournassage et les gauchers.

Même si je conseille d'apprendre en droitiers ( je suis moi même gauchère mais j'ai préféré apprendre en droitière).

6 : le poids

pour moi plus le tour est lourd, plus il est stable et moins il vibre .

L'inconvénient c'est si vous devez le transporter régulièrement.

Les différents tours

On trouve deux types de tour :

-les tours à pied

-les tours de table

Personnellement je déconseille fortement les tours de table !

Par ce que la position de tournage est la plus importante pour réussir à tourner des pièces

sans se fatiguer et se faire mal au dos.

il sont beaucoup moins chers ! mais c'est une fausse économie car vous allez vite fabriquer une petite table pour le mettre à la bonne hauteur.

Alors quel modèle acheter ?

je ne vais pas vous présenter tous les tours du marché mais je vais vous présenter les tours les plus connus dont certains que je connais très bien car je les utilise.

je ne vous les présente pas dans un ordre de préférence.

1: Le shimpo RK3D

C'est la star des tours !

Très populaire dans le milieu !

C'est un excellent tour.

Mais pas le meilleur rapport qualité prix.

Ses qualités:

-moteur électronique à entraînement direct.

-ultra silencieux

-marque très fiable

-girelle de 30cm

-moteur 400 w

-inversement de sens de rotation

Ses défauts:

- Sa pédale accrochée au tour que je n'aime pas trop mais ce n'est que mon avis personnel.

-prix assez élevé par rapport aux prestations.

tour de table shimpo

2:shimpo RK55

Très répandue dans les associations ou chez les débutants.

je ne le connais pas personnellement, il a des avantages et des inconvénients.

-vraiment pas pas cher.

-qualité shimpo

-trés silencieux

-moteur électronique à entraînement direct

-pédale amovible

-trés léger (aussi un inconvénient)

Ses inconvénients:

-le seul inconvénient que je vois c'est ca puissance !

La c'est un gros problème !

car 100 w c'est vraiment trop limite !

le gros problème c'est que vous allez vite progresser sur des gros volumes et à partir de 3 kg

ca va devenir trés embêtant !(ralentissement).

Je pars du principe que quand on achète un tour c'est pour 20 ans!

donc je ne conseille pas trop ce tour.

tour de table shimpo

Maintenant mon préféré ! le pw-dc et sûrement l'un des meilleurs du marché actuel !

Ses qualités :

-puissance moteur (560W)

-girelle de 35,5

-double sens de rotation

Ses défauts

-moteur plus bruyant que les shimpo

-moteur à courroie

Je connais bien ce tour puisque je l'ai pour donner mes cours depuis 5 ans.

je trouve qu'il a un rapport qualité prix imbattable !

Il est très agréable pas trop bruyant et fiable.

Je n'ai aucun affiliation financière avec cette marque c'est juste mon avis.

Mais vous pourrez le garder des années sans être limité par la taille de vos pièces dans le futur.

tour de table shimpo

c'est le petit frère au PW-DC

Je ne le connais pas personnellement mais je pense que c'est une très bonne affaire

car c'est le jumeau du shimpo r3kd en moins puissant mais à moitié prix !

ses qualités:

-girelle de 35 cm

-moteur assez puissant pour débuter (assez pour de nombreuses années).

-double sens

ses défauts:

-plus bruyant que les shimpo

-moteur pas très puissant mais suffisant

-pédale fixe

tour de table shimpo

5: le brent CXC

Le top du top !

Je vous présente celui-là car c'est mon tour personnel

C'est vraiment le tour du professionnel !

Même moi je n'en n' ai pas l'utilité mais à l'époque il valait moitié prix ! (vive l'euro).

c'est une bête de puissance, 750 w.

Vraiment pas utile pour vous !

sauf si vous voulez vous faire plaisir ou que vous avez un gros niveau pour tourner des amphores grecques de 1 mètre!!!

-trés fiable (ça fait vingt ans que je l'ai et il est comme neuf!)

-moteur ultra puissant

-silencieux

-prix exorbitant

tour de table shimpo

6:tour shimpo de table RK5T

Personnellement je ne suis pas du tout fan des tours de table

pour les raisons que je vous ai expliqué plus haut.

ses qualités

-là je ne vois pas !

-mauvaise position pour tourner

-moteur pas assez puissant!

-girelle de 25cm

-mauvais rapport qualité prix (pour 200€ de plus vous avez le PW-1)

tour de table shimpo

7: Tour chinois, le tour à portée tous !

Les tours Chinois !

Ce tour de potier discount est une option pour les débutants et les amateurs qui souhaitent découvrir la poterie sans un réel investissement.

Cependant, les potiers plus expérimentés ou les professionnels préféreront investir dans un modèle plus avancé pour des performances optimales

et une plus grande variété de fonctionnalités.

Avantages : Son prix discount. L'avantage principal de ce tour de potier est son tarif qui le rend accessible à un public débutant.

-Compact et portable : Sa taille compacte lui permet de trouver sa place pour les petits espaces de travail ou pour ceux qui souhaitent transporter leur équipement facilement. --- -Inconvénients :Non adapté aux professionnels et aux passionnés qui pratiqueront sur un équipement de qualité aux performances supérieures.

Limite de taille : En raison de sa compacité, il peut ne pas convenir à la création de pièces de grande taille.

Manque de sensibilité à basse vitesse.

Adaptation de la hauteur du tour obligatoire.

-bien pour une initiation

-trop petit en hauteur, comme un tour miniature.

-trop léger

-pédale tout plastique très fragile.

tour de table shimpo

Nouveau le tour vevor avec pied réglable en hauteur vient de sortir , c'est peut être le tour idéal pour pas cher ?

tour de table shimpo

Voici l'avis d'une de mes élève qui a un tour Chinoi et un tour shimpo

J'ai commencé avec le tour chinois pour une question de budget et à l'époque je ne souhaitais pas forcément m'installer en pro. Il a fait l'affaire un temps (assez court) car je me suis vite vue limitee par sa puissance (on peut quand même tourner un bon poids de terre, perso je ne suis montée qu'à 800gr mais je pense que lon peut faire plus) et sa Fluidité !

Je ne parvenais pas à réussir des pièces "homogènes" avec le même poids de terre au départ. Ayant déjà pratiqué sur un shimpo j'ai vite vu la différence.

J'ai donc acheté le shimpo (occasion) et là tout était plus facile et fluide (je ne peux décrire cette fluidité mais c'était plus facile) ,

je réussissais plus facilement les pièces que je souhaitais faire.

Y a pas photo !!!

En résumé (avis perso) :

- petit budget et utilisation de loisir, le tour chinois fait le taff.

- Si pas de soucis de budget ou utilisation pro mieux vaut investir de suite dans

un "bon" tour.

Pour ma part je suis quand même contente d'avoir le tour chinois car il va me servir au tournassage et comme tournette electrique lorsque je ferai de grosses pièces.

Voilà mon avis le plus objectif possible.😉

Avis de caroline "mai 2021"

Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur ces tours , j'ai fais un test video .

voici le lien:

Je vais aller droit au but !

Le modele que je conseille c'est le PW-DC

ou le PW-1 pour ceux qui ont moins de moyens.

Après les shimpo RK3D et le shimpo RK3e (non présentés) et

le shimpo whisper (non présenté)

sont très bien aussi mais un peu chers au vu des prestations.

Je ne conseille pas le shimpo RK55 pas assez puissants ni les tours de table !

Je ne conseille pas non plus le Brent vraiment hors de prix et aucun intérêt pour du loisir !

Je n'ai pas parlé des tours Rohde qui sont excellents mais très chers aussi !

Ce sont des tours pour professionnels.

Je tiens à préciser que je n'ai aucune affiliation avec une marque!

C'est juste mon avis personnel !
