Giffin Grip Pottery Trimming Tool

Transform your pottery trimming experience with the Giffin Grip Model 10 - the ultimate plastic hand for trimming pottery. This innovative tool is designed to help you achieve precise and consistent results with ease. The lightweight, ergonomic design and adjustable grip make it comfortable to use, while the strong, durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.

After a simple one-time adjustment, the Giffin Grip quickly snaps on and off your wheel. It halves the time previously spent in trimming and makes practical trimming shapes that would otherwise have been left untrimmed. The Giffin Grip Includes 3 short basic sliders, 3 short wide sliders and rod set with new hands.

With the Flex Slider III Giffin Grip accessory, you can easily refine the shape of your pottery and bring your unique visions to life.


Will the Giffin Grip fit my wheel?

The Giffin Grip fits most potter’s wheels on the market including: Shimpo, Brent, Speedball, Skutt, and many more. Any potter’s wheel with a removable splash pan, or sufficient side clearance to mount a 16 inch (42cm) diameter round plate on top can accommodate a Giffin Grip. The Giffin Grip can be adapted to wheelheads from 8.5 inches to 14 inches in diameter. After a simple, one-time adjustment, the Giffin Grip quickly snaps on and off your wheel.

How does the Giffin Grip centre the pot?

It all begins with the precision of the three spirals built into the bottom plate. This is also the inspiration for our company logo.

The Sliders move in the Top Plate and engage with the Spirals of the Bottom Plate. The 3 sliders are each moved by a unique spiral. They move in or out of the top plate in concentric alignment with each other. They center and work together.
