The Giffin Grip is an innovative tool designed to facilitate the centering and clamping of ceramic parts on the wheel during the trimming and finishing stages. It consists of a rotating disk with adjustable arms that expand or contract to hold parts of different sizes and shapes. This tool is especially useful for ceramists working in high production or in workshops where efficiency and precision are essential.
With the Giffin Grip, you can quickly center bisque or leather-consistency parts without the need for complex manual adjustments. This not only saves time, but also reduces the risk of damaging parts when handling them. Although it is a modern tool, the Giffin Grip is inspired by traditional centering techniques, adapting them to the contemporary needs of ceramic production.
Interesting Fact
The Giffin Grip was developed in the 1980s as a practical solution for ceramists who needed to improve the speed and accuracy of the trimming process. Since its introduction, it has become a standard in many professional workshops.
Helpful Tip
Before using the Giffin Grip, verify that the clamping arms are correctly adjusted and that the part is firmly secured. Practice with simple parts to familiarize yourself with its operation. Clean the tool regularly to avoid buildup of clay residue that can interfere with its accuracy.
