Any recommendations for a decent banding wheel?

Josh Jaajaa

Can anyone recommend a really good banding wheel w/ smooth rotation that's waterproof?

I've only ever used cheap ones with minimal quality.  Anyone out there have experience with good quality ones?

Thank you, Chris. I'll probably check out what's available at Hobby Lobby or some of the other local vendors.

Hi Josh,

I have always had good luck with Shimpo cast iron banding wheels a little on the pricier side but they seem to be well made. just keep them clean.

Thank you, Andrew. I have come across the  Shimpo brand. The local clay shop is actually out of that one atm, but I will take you up on your recommendation.
