Giffin Grip® PRODUCTS
The Giffin Grip Model 10 is our classic full-size re-centering tool for potters. Designed specifically for trimming, it works equally well for waxing the foot or banding with oxides.
After a simple one-time adjustment, the Giffin Grip quickly snaps on and off your wheel. It significantly cuts down on time spent trimming and helps to trim shapes that may otherwise be left untrimmed. It works with small pots, big pots, short pots, tall pots, round sides and straight sides, upside down or right side up!
Maximum pot size 14”, minimum 2”
Maximum wheel diameter 17”, minimum wheel diameter 9”

Giffin Grip® Mini (GG&MN) – All the quality and reliability you expect from the original Giffin Grip® only smaller and packed with cool new features.
The Giffin Grip® Mini has a super low profile so your trimmings will stay in the splash pan! It also gives you an option to lock the plates down once your pot is centered and works for both Clockwise and Counterclockwise wheels.
With four different shapes of slider attachments, you can trim pieces as small as 5/8” in diameter and all the way up to 9.5” wide. The patented “fish” shaped receivers attach right over your bat pins and allow the Giffin Grip® Mini to be moved from wheel to wheel without requiring any adjustments.
Works on all wheels with standard 10” Bat Pins (also works with the Shimpo Aspire).
*Model 10 parts are not compatible with the Giffin Grip® Mini and vice versa.
JPE1 - The Giffin Jumbo Platter Extender is an attachment for the Giffin Grip Model 10 (*Not for use with the Giffin Grip Mini). Simply remove the sliders from your Giffin Grip, place the Jumbo Platter on top. Then insert the specialized sliders and it increases the size of pots you can trim up to 23 inches in diameter (58.42cm). It's perfect for items such wide plates, platters and large bowls. It now comes with extra-long Rods with Hands.
Includes:
Jumbo Bat
3x Jumbo Sliders
3x 8” Rods with Hands
LLM&L - Inside/outside measuring calipers for Potters. The Large Lid Master™ can measure pots up to 20”.
The new Giffin Grip Trim Gaurd keeps your trimmings in the splash pan! It’s waterproof for easy cleaning and adjustable to fit various splash pan designs. The clips can be placed on the inside or outside depending on preference. Designed for circular splash pans.
Make one measurement and you have its opposite immediately. The Lid Master does the work of two calipers with far greater speed and accuracy! Plus, you can reassemble the screw in the lower set of holes and it instantly shows how much a pot will shrink during firing. This allows you to size your finished work precisely or make lids for already fired pots. With the 12 1/2% shrinkage ratio there is no need for a conversion ruler.
Designed specifically for Porcelain Pottery, these soft foam pads fit onto the Molded Hands of your Giffin Grip® providing a gentle touch on the most delicate of pots.
Works with the Giffin Grip Model 10 and Giffin Grip Mini™.
