Shimpo Aspire RK-5T Pottery Bat System | 10-Piece Set with 5.5" Inserts | Compact Wheel Compatible | Lucky Bats
$120.00
10 inch (25cm) batt with inserts to fit the Shimpo Aspire RK-5T wheel.
The Lucky Bat System for Shimpo Aspire consists of one 10" master bat and ten inserts. The master bat in this set is carved from formaldehyde-free 3/4" Medex brand HMR MDF.
The master bat is reversible in that it can be turned over and used as a 10" bat. Engraved guide lines help center your work on the bat. That is especially useful for trimming
Inserts are made of 1/4" (6mm) Baltic Birch Plywood, which is also a premium material. (Unlike masonite)
The benefit of using plywood bats is that they release from clay more readily than plastic, as wood has absorptive properties. This makes removal of the thrown pot from the bat fairly easy. Check out our video showing how easily leather hard clay releases from a bat. No wiring off!
Bat pin holes are sized to fit the M5 cap screws used as pins on the Aspire.
Inserts fit snugly in the bathole and a finger recess helps lift the insert holding your creation from the master bat.

I was thrilled to find this bat system for my Aspire. The bats fits perfectly on the pins, and the inserts are simple to use and great for small pots. I don't think there is anything else out there for the Aspire, so well worth the investment.
