R101 Concave XS Handheld Clay Extruder

The R102 Koala XS Handheld Clay Extruder from DiamondCore® Tools features an angled, stainless steel blade that leaves clean edges and effortlessly pulls through clay to create a smaller handle that resembles a koala head with two small ears on each side. This extra small extruder makes our popular R12 shape.

This tool is specially designed for cutting shapes in clay plates, with a unique “koala head” shape consisting of a central hump and two smaller humps on the sides reminiscent of ears. The angled stainless steel blade provides clean, tight edges and cuts effortlessly through clay. The sturdy hardwood handle is 11 cm long, and the wood grain may vary.

This tool is perfect for making feet, handles and other details in pottery. The adjustable ski determines the depth of cut, so you can accurately adjust the thickness of the cut. The thumb screw makes it easy to quickly adjust the ski. The blade has a maximum width of about 17 mm and a height of 17 mm, and a minimum width of about 14 mm with a height of 14 mm.

TIP: For best results, use these tools to make feet and handles when the clay is not extremely wet or sticky. The clay tool blade should be clean and dry. Ideally, pull the extrusion up and out while forming or fold back the sides of the slab so that the extrusion jumps up and out.
