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.
