Brent Model C Pottery Wheel
The Brent Model C is a professional-grade pottery wheel designed for artists, schools, and studios that need more power and capacity than an entry-level wheel. Its 3/4 HP permanent-magnet DC motor can handle up to 225 pounds of clay continuously, providing substantial torque for large and demanding forms.
The 14-inch cast aluminum wheel head offers a generous throwing surface and includes two bat pins. Electronic speed control provides a smooth 0–240 RPM range, while reversible operation lets the potter select clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation.
The Model C combines a solid steel table and powder-coated legs with an automatic belt-tensioning system for long-term durability. Brent's Classic Controller is designed to maintain consistent wheel speed under changing loads and includes electronic noise filtering for quieter operation.
The Model C is a strong choice for professional potters and educational studios that want a durable, high-capacity wheel without moving all the way up to the 300-pound CXC or 450-pound EX.

Additional Information
The Model C is positioned between the Brent B and the heavy-duty CXC in the Brent wheel lineup. Its 225-pound continuous capacity gives serious potters substantial room for growth, while the 3/4 HP motor provides strong performance for large forms.
The Classic Controller provides electronic torque management, reversible operation, and a neutral safety position between forward and reverse. Modular connections help make motor and foot-pedal service more straightforward.
The wheel's steel table and powder-coated legs are designed for stability and durability in busy studio and classroom environments. The included splash pan and Plast-i-Bat add practical value without requiring separate accessory purchases.
