Shimpo
RK
Whisper
The RK-Whisper represents the next generation of
potter’s wheels. Responsive, high torque at all speeds, powerful and quiet.
Not just quiet, but QUIET! This wheel is by far the quietest on the market;
you can actually throw and hear yourself think at the same time....
The exterior of the
RK-Whisper resembles the RK-10, but that’s where
the similarities end! This new wheel features a brushless DC motor and
direct drive (no belt) system. The motor is electronically controlled and
operated by a fixed foot pedal and hand lever. It’s reversible, and the
steel body is durable under all conditions. A 12” wheelhead and two-piece
splashpan are included as standard features.

Whisper
The superior technology of Shimpo’s RK-Whisper potter’s
wheel and the popular features of Shimpo’s Velocity V75 potter’s wheel have
been combined to create the second model in Shimpo’s Whisper series potter’s
wheels: the VL-Whisper.
Responsive, high torque at all speeds, powerful and we can now say the
quietest wheel in the potter’s wheel market. It’s a “quiet” that must be
heard to be believed!
