Description
StudioPro Medex Bats are sturdy, versatile and environmentally friendly.
These bats offer greater rigidity then our tempered hardboard bats but with similar absorbency. Our versatile Medex bats are an excellent choice for all kinds of studio environments.
These Medex bats have a great clay adhesion and bottom drying. Their increased rigidity keeps pot rims true when lifting them off the wheel head. These bats are made from a premium MDF board with no added formaldehyde. They are slightly absorbent, very resistant to warping, and tough! Their 3/8" thickness makes them extrememly rigid during removal from the wheel. Medex is an environmentally sensitive producct utilizing 90% recycled wood fibers.

New England Hardboard Company is a potter-owned (Todd Wahlstrom and Aysha Peltz) and operated business which has been producing throwing bats for almost 20 years. We have participated in the ceramics community as artists, students, teachers, consumers and manufacturers. We are committed to providing excellent “small company” customer service and very competitive pricing.
Our bats are made with a CNC router. This computer directed cutting ensures dimensional accuracy of both pin holes and circumferences. The high speed router produces superior edge quality on our bats. Each bat has 10" on center holes for standard 3/8" bat pins. One hole is oval to accommodate small variations in pin spacing. Our products are made from the best available materials which are selected for performance, value and environmental sensitivity.
Notes on hole sizes and bat care: Bat pins frequently vary in their diameter. Our slots and holes are cut to fit snuggly. If they are too tight on a particular set of pins, they should loosen after a couple of placements and removals of the bat. Alternatively, a small scrap of sandpaper can be rolled up and passed through the holes once or twice.
Notes on hole sizes and bat care: Bats should be cleaned and stacked or stored vertically on a bat rack after use. Do not soak wood bats of any kind. Pots should be wire cut from the bats after throwing and removed when they are leather hard. The remaining pad of clay should be scraped off before storing. Occasional sponge cleaning is fine.
