Shimpo VL Whisper Pottery Wheel

Now Shimpo Nidec

Shimpo’s new VL-Whisper is “beyond perfect” and something to shout about! It shares the same drive components and features with the RK-Whisper (direct-drive, brushless, 400 watt, ½ hp, DC motor with overload protection, electronic controller, 0-250 rpm’s, 100 lb. centering, reversible, high torque at all speeds), but adds so much more. What, you ask? Take a breath and read on...

Additional features include: Tri-pod design, built-in table, 14-inch wheel head, newly designed two-piece splashpan, banding wheel feature, remote foot-pedal, adjustable height with table-top position, modular components and compact storage. (Kitchen sink optional.) All this in a maintenance-free, five-year warranty package. 

There is no additional charge for the “Quiet” operation that the Whispers have become known for. It's a “Quiet” that must be heard to be believed! . Beyond Perfect: The only thing the VL-Whisper needs is you!
