Whisper-T pottery wheel

A smooth, quiet and stable wheel designed for confident throwing at home.

The Nidec Shimpo Whisper-T is a full-size professional pottery wheel, trusted in studios around the world. It’s beautifully quiet, powerful, and stable — making it ideal for regular practice or more ambitious home projects.

If you’re looking for a wheel that feels solid under your hands and capable with larger pieces, the Whisper-T is our most robust option.

Why choose the Whisper-T?

  • Adjustable leg heights — suitable for petite or taller potters
  • Greater stability when throwing larger pieces (especially over 2kg)
  • Super quiet motor
  • Removable side wings
  • Professional-grade performance

At 45kg, it’s heavier to move (two-person lift recommended), but it packs down neatly for transport.

Who it’s best suited for

The Whisper-T is ideal if you:

  • Want a full-size studio-style wheel at home
  • Are practising regularly
  • Like working with larger amounts of clay
  • Prefer maximum stability
  • Already have some wheel experience
