Put down, plug in and get throwing. Anywhere.
The Shimpo RK-5T tabletop is the smallest pottery wheel from Shimpo. It is designed with compactness and portability as the main goal.
You’re probably thinking that this means that the RK-5T lacks quality. You couldn’t be more wrong.

Its lightweight, compact design allows you to pick it up, plug it in and get throwing anywhere, yet its 10kg centring capability makes it a permanent addition to any studio or classroom.
The included electronic controller will maintain your desired speed at all times.
Available with hand lever or foot pedal control.
