Giffin Grip Model 10

A trimming chuck that holds and recenters leather-hard pots using coordinated sliders and rods.

Choose this when: You trim varied forms repeatedly and have clearance for its large mounting plates.

Consider the tradeoff: The attachment increases the occupied wheel area; a diameter match alone does not establish splash-pan clearance.

Check the space around the head

Giffin Grip specifies a bracket attachment under its 16-inch plates. Before ordering, measure the space around your wheelhead and read the installation instructions with the splash pan in place. A removable pan may change the available clearance, but removing it also changes where your trimmings land.

Buy for the trimming routine

This accessory handles the holding stage of trimming; it does not establish how much clay remains in a pot’s base. You still need a suitable leather-hard piece and a deliberate trimming plan. The included rods and sliders offer different support arrangements, so learn which configuration suits a narrow vessel versus a broad bowl. For mainly small forms, compare the lower-profile Mini before allocating space to the full Model 10.
