Giffin Grip Mini

A low-profile trimming chuck with bat-pin attachment and a locking slider system.

Choose this when: Your usual trimming work fits its published size range and your wheel has a supported pin arrangement.

Consider the tradeoff: Its 9.5-inch maximum pot diameter limits larger forms compared with the Model 10.

A different attachment from the Model 10

The Mini mounts over bat pins using receivers rather than the Model 10’s wheelhead-edge brackets. Giffin Grip documents standard 10-inch pin spacing and separate holes for US and metric pins, plus a dedicated ASPIRE arrangement. Match your existing hardware to those instructions rather than treating every drilled head as interchangeable.

Useful when low profile matters

Its low height is intended to keep trimmings within the splash pan, and the button lock secures the sliders. Those are practical reasons to choose it for cups and smaller bowls, independent of price. Check the whole form’s widest diameter before assuming the foot size determines fit. If you share wheels, supported bat-pin receivers may make transfers convenient, but each wheel still needs the correct installation.
