Extruders

The interior of the Standard extruder is plain steel. If the barrel's isn't washed out and periodically protected with a light film of machine oil or silicone lubricant, then it can rust or develop light oxidation that can stain your clay. Keep it clean and dry between uses and the Standard model can be used just like the Stainless model. The Standard model comes with our Basic Die Kit and one blank die installed. The basic die kit includes 8 coil dies, 2 handle dies, one square coil, one hex coil, a blank die and a die mask.  Several of the coil dies contain 4 cavities of different sizes and the die mask is used to block off any three of them.

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.
