It features a Stainless Steel Barrel that will not stain porcelain or other light colored clay Everything that comes in contact with the clay is either stainless steel or plastic and will not discolor the most delicate porcelain even if clay is left in the machine. \u003cbr\u003eThis package deal includes the Basic Die Set  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll dies are made of 1\/2 inch thick polyethylene, which is extremely wear-resistant and completely non-contaminating. The top edge of the die cavity is beveled to compact the clay as it passes through, giving a crisp, more solid extrusion. In the hollow dies, there is a bevel on both the interior and exterior portions under each side of the bracket (which holds the center of the hollow dies) that helps the extrusion to \"heal\" after is has been cut apart by the bracket. This bracket fits into a Z-shaped slot machined into the top of the hollow die and is held in place by the barrel of the extruder. If a hollow die is mounted in place, the center part of the die is in exactly the right place and the wall thickness will automatically be even all the way around. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Star Equipment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52288506397043,"sku":"NS910","price":712.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5508\/2050\/files\/FILE11704_800x_3483177c-22cf-4446-a182-759dfa595e44.webp?v=1791877048","url":"https:\/\/www.sheffield-pottery.live\/products\/north-star-equipment-4-stainless-extruder-package-with-basic-die-set","provider":"Sheffield Pottery Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
