Spinning tiger potters wheel
Hello All:
I have a spinning tiger wheel that eats drive wheels very quickly, I get about 3 pots per wheel and then the black friction stuff comes lose from the metal center part of the drive. It has destroyed two of the drive wheels from Creative and at $25 a pop it is just too expensive to go that route. Did the original drive wheels hold up much better than these Creative reproductions? I suspect that the Creative design of the wheel is using some "rubber" compound that is not suited for the high loading required to drive the large wheel. Something like polyurathane like skateboard wheels would probably last forever but that's not what they offer. Does anyone have any tried and tested fixes for this wheel? Does anyplace offer a drive wheel that does not self destruct? Thanks, Bri Seattle |
