This package deal includes the Basic Die Set
The Stainless model offers the most versatility. It can be used with just about any clay type as long as the clay is soft and easy to work with your hands. Because stainless steel won't rust, it is ideal for use with white stoneware clays and porcelain. If you're going to be using these clay types, then our Stainless extruder might be your best choice.
In these extruders, the handle length and barrel size are matched to give plenty of leverage without ratcheting. There are no dangerous shackles, fewer pinch points, no clumsy multi-jointed handle to come loose, and no post or ratchet parts to wear out. The handle is anchored at one fixed pivot point, completely eliminating the danger of a heavy steel bar slipping or suddenly offering no resistance. Clay is loaded with the handle in the down position, again eliminating danger from a heavy, hard-to-control handle.
Finally there is this simple but very important note: These machines hold about eight pounds of clay, which will give a longer extrusion than most people can handle at one time.
All dies are made of 1/2 inch thick polyethylene, which is extremely wear-resistant and completely non-
