The ZeroTrim Complete Set is a Canadian-designed pottery trimming system that includes all three versions of our innovative chucks — the Mini, Standard, and Ultra — giving potters precision and control for every size of work, from small mugs to large platters. Each ZeroTrim securely attaches to your wheel and holds your leather-hard pieces firmly in place without the need for clay collars or centering, allowing you to trim clean, even foot rings and refine your forms with ease. Handcrafted at Pearl & Fern in West Kelowna, the ZeroTrim system makes trimming faster, cleaner, and more consistent — so every piece comes off the wheel looking professional and perfectly balanced.
Now includes a handy lifting tool to help get your ZeroTrim off the wheel.
How to Use Your Pottery Chuck
Place the ZeroTrim on your wheel:
Attach the ZeroTrim securely to your pottery wheel hub. Make sure it’s stable before adding any clay pieces.
Prepare your pottery piece:
Ensure your mug, bowl, or other clay piece is leather-hard. This is the ideal stage for trimming.
Position your piece upside down:
Gently place the bottom of your piece onto the ZeroTrim. The ZeroTrim holds it in place without damaging the clay.
Trim your piece:
Use your trimming tools to shape the base, remove excess clay, or add foot rings. You do not need to center your piece first — the ZeroTrim keeps it steady.
Remove carefully:
Once trimming is complete, lift your piece straight off the ZeroTrim. Handle gently to avoid any damage.
Clean your ZeroTrim:
Wipe off any clay residue after each use to keep your chuck clean and ready for the next project.
