The tool in action
I’ll show you how the throwing ribs from KEO Ceramics work! Click here 👇
Create the same shape time and time again with the help of the 4 design features listed below.
UNIFORM HEIGHT
Get the same height on your pieces every time - down to the millimeter! Use the built-in ruler on each rib to hold a needle tool completely steady to accurately cut off the top part of your pieces.
SURE DIAMETER
Determine the diameter of your pieces with your rib! At the bottom of the rib, there is a little square mark in the centre that you can align with a marking on your wheel or bat system. To achieve the desired diameter, align these two markings and then pull the walls of your piece out towards your rib. You can mark your wheel-head with a permanent marker and then remove it with alcohol when it’s no longer necessary.
CRACK REDUCER
Diminish the risk of cracking on the bottom of your pieces. Use the curved top edge of the rib to uniformly compress the bottoms.
TRIM ELIMINATOR
These ribs are designed so that you need to spend little, if any, time on trimming. You can simply use a bat system and leave the piece on it. and then going over the piece with a damp sponge after it has popped off your bat. Then this is enough if you’d like to have a totally flat bottom and you save a lot of time not having to trim.
