Model K has been on the market since the mid 60's and can be found in schools, colleges, and institutions throughout the world. The solid construction of heavy-duty welded steel pipe, a large table area with space for a water bucket, tools, bats, and clay makes this wheel a durable natural for the classroom or the professional potter. The splash pan is included with your initial purchase and a 5 year limited warranty lets you know Laguna is confident in the quality of this product.

Model EK, the motorized kick wheel with an optional reversing switch, is driven by a heavy-duty 1/3 hp motor with a rubber friction drive. When the drive is disengaged the wheel will operate as a manual kick wheel. To use the drive, simply depress the foot pedal to engage the rubber drive against the edge of the flywheel. Speed range is 0-157 RPM. The wheel is whisper quiet, controlled with a switch conveniently located at the edge of the work table and has enough power to center 50 lbs. of clay.

Testimonials

I enjoy throwing on my Lockerbie, kicking seems to slow down the thinking process and lets the artistic side come out and settle into the pot I’m working on. Steve / Simi Valley, CA	Many of our wheels are 30 yrs old and working well. These wheels are best for the back. No back aches and no back braces needed. S. Hanley / Los Angeles, CA

Quiet & serene. I love hearing the outdoor sounds when I throw on a Lockerbie. (Without the motor). Ms. Chronister / Victoria College	I bought a second (third) hand Lockerbie wheel 2 yrs ago. I love it, and often use it while demonstrating for students. Cathy / Lyman, Maine
