| Brent slab rollers are built for strength and years of service and
are
available in three table models and two floor models. Schools,
professional potters, and production artists roll out even clay slabs to
make tiles for murals, glaze tests, plates, bowls, home decor
installations, even illustrated clay comic strips!. Across heavy-duty 2-ply canvas tops, opposing rollers produce slabs up to 36" wide by 52"
long (SR-36). |

slab rollers have two rolls, much like the wringer of an old-fashioned
washing machine. Both rolls have a small diamond pattern("knurling") machined directly into the metal
to grip the canvas. The bottom roll is turned by the handle, but
cannot move vertically. As it turns, it drives the top roll
through a train of gears. The upper roll both turns and can be
adjusted up and down. The two rolls turning together pull slabs
through easily, and the vertical adjustment of the top roll gives an
easy-to-set and infinitely adjustable thickness from paper-thin to over
2 inches. A reference scale allows setting and repeating openings
to within 1/100 of an inch. |
