Discover the Blue Bucket Tile Bat System – A Cost-Effective, Long-Lasting Solution for Pottery Studios

Our Tile Bat System stands out from the rest thanks to its unique design, using affordable and easily available ceramic tiles. Priced at just 35 cents each at your local Lowes (or Rona in Canada), these tiles are typically in stock by the hundreds or even thousands, meaning you can have dozens or even hundreds of inserts for your studio – without breaking the bank!

When compared to other bat systems on the market, even the most affordable options on Amazon can't match our cost-effectiveness, especially for group studios. Here’s why:

Key Advantages:

• Durable & Water-Resistant: Tiles won’t warp, grow mold, or deteriorate over time. You can leave pots covered indefinitely or soak the tiles overnight for easy cleaning – no worries about water damage!
• Sturdy Support for Delicate Work: Unlike flexible systems, our tiles stay firm, ensuring delicate bowls and vases come off the wheel without distortion.
• Built to Last: The tiles and our ABS material are incredibly durable. In fact, our co-founder, Jeff, has been using the same set for over 25 years – and they’re still in perfect condition after thousands of pots!
• The Most Cost-Effective Option: Whether you’re an individual potter or managing a studio, our system offers unbeatable value compared to any other bat system out there.

What's Included in the Kit?

Everything you need to get started, except the tiles. You can source the tiles locally at Lowes (USA) or Rona (Canada), or you can simplify the process by purchasing them from us directly. Be sure to check the FAQ on our website to confirm compatibility with your wheel (our bat pin spacing is 10” on center, which fits most major brands).

Kit Includes:

• Motherboard
• Shammy Substrate
• Pry Tool

Materials:

• The Blue Bucket Bat System is assembled in Atlanta, Georgia, using globally sourced materials.
• The motherboard is cut locally from durable, water-, warp- and chemical-resistant ABS plastic.
• The shammy is made from synthetic chamois material.
• The pry tool is 3D-printed in-house using PETG plastic and features a stainless steel insert.

Shipping:

Shipping is included for US orders and partially subsidized for Canadian orders. Unfortunately, we do not ship internationally outside the US due to varying wheel and tile compatibility.

Satisfaction Guaranteed:

We offer easy 30-day returns. If you're not satisfied, simply email us at bluebuckettools@gmail.com, and we'll send you a return shipping label. Once we receive your return, we’ll promptly issue a refund or exchange.

Tile System FAQ

Finding Tiles:

The tiles this system was designed for are found at every Lowes location in the US and Rona and Home Depot in Canada. Simply go to the flooring section, and find:

Satori Hudson Brilliant White 6-in x 6-in Glossy Ceramic Subway Wall Tile (0.24-sq. ft/ Piece) 

Item #1359864 | Model #1001-0198-1

These tiles can be purchased individually or by the case. We recommend getting more than you think you will need, as the tiles could change or be discontinued in the future. This system can last a lifetime, but the tiles are breakable if dropped, so having extras is a good idea. Plus, they are only 35 cents each!

If you live far away from a Lowes or do not wish to go out and source the tiles for any reason, we offer 15-packs of tiles that we have personally checked for fit and quality. These are also a great idea if you are buying a system for someone as a gift.
