AMACO Brent Model C Pottery Wheel

AMACO Brent Model C Pottery Wheel – A US Classic for Schools and Professional Studios

AMACO is a traditional US brand for ceramic supplies. According to the manufacturer, the Brent Model C is one of the best-selling pottery wheels in the USA – a 0.75 hp permanent magnet motor ensures powerful, quiet operation, making it the top choice for schools, classrooms, and professional high-output studios.

Why is the AMACO Brent Model C the right choice?

Compared to the Speedball Clay Boss – also a US brand in our range – the Brent Model C offers significantly more power reserves with a centering capacity of up to 100 kg, making it clearly designed for professional and educational use rather than the hobby sector. Both brands offer a 10-year manufacturer's warranty, but the Brent Model C is positioned in the upper segment in terms of both price and performance.

Which accessories are right for me?

According to the manufacturer, the Brent Model C features bat pin mounts with 10-inch (254 mm) spacing – which corresponds to the European 254 mm standard. However, the pre-installed pins are of US SAE size, whereas European bat systems like the Lindemann system are designed for 10 mm pins. We therefore currently do not offer the Lindemann bat system as a bundle variant until the fit is clarified – we are in contact with the importer, 1240.design, regarding this. For a healthy sitting posture during longer sessions, you can order the Lindemann pottery stool directly above as a variant – as a stand-alone piece of furniture without any interface to the machine, it is universally compatible with any wheel.
