    In designing the Bat System for Aspire, we discovered that we absolutely love throwing on inserts made from the exact same material as the motherboard surround. These inserts are textured ABS plastic, fit like a dream, and are totally flush with the throwing surface. sold in packs of 6.

"Saw this product and had to have it, I have never used a bat system before; I have say I am super satisfied. I made several items and placed in a dry tub and came back several days later and set out to dry then added handles and trimmed pieces. Got the tiles from Lowes, 20 tiles for under $8. Thanks Blue Bucket tools!"

-Joe Chambley

"I bought this bat system after reading a positive Reddit review and I have to say I absolutely love it. No warping, extremely easy to buy/replace and inexpensive inserts, and overall everything I’d want it to be. Thanks!"

-Emily

"10/10 perfect! The bat system works great! Fits my Shimpo VL lite perfect. I had no problems using the tiles to throw on. So easy to clean! My “wooden” bats were always warping a little."

-Mindy Faubian

Key Benefits

  • Cost-effective

    Because the inserts are just $0.35 each and available locally, this bat system is the most cost-effective solution on the market.

  • Warp-free

    The tiles and the surround are made from materials that will never warp, swell or flex, so you will never have to deal with warped inserts ever again!

  • Extremely Durable

    This will be the last bat system you buy. The tiles, surround, and the pry tool are made from durable materials for decades of use!

Dimensions

The system is designed to fit most potters wheels in North America, including Brent, Nidec/Shimpo, Pacifica, Speedball/Creative Industries, Skutt, and more. The only wheels it doesn't fit are tabletop wheels like the Aspire or Quark, and the very old ShImpo RK wheels. The hole for the tiles fits the nominal 6" tiles found at Lowes, but not the ones at Home Depot. We don't know why they are different sizes.

Materials

The Motherboard Surround is cut from durable, solid ABS Plastic, similar to a Plasti-bat.

The Pry Tool is made from 304 Stainless steel with a 3d printed PETG handle, the same type of plastic as a water bottle.

The Shammy is made from synthetic chamois PVA material which is super absorbent.
