Manual "Arco" Handle Extruder for Ceramic Teapots & Mugs

Ceramic Mug & Cup Handle Maker Tool

Concave Arch Profiles

Craft teapot and mug handles with a single, clean pull. The precision-ground arch-shaped blade delivers a consistent clay “rope” ready to attach and refine.

You will get the following handle shape with this "Arco" model:

The Manual Arch Handle Extruder turns the tricky task of hand-building loops into a fast, repeatable step. Its profile produces a perfectly proportioned clay strip; simply cut to length, score, slip and attach. The heart of the tool is a stainless blade—chosen for unbeatable corrosion resistance and edge retention, so you can work with groggy, high-silica bodies without dulling.

Stainless AISI 316 Cutting Edge

-Corrosion-proof marine-grade steel.

-Holds a sharp edge for many pulls.

-Easy to clean.

Tool-Free Fine-Tuning

Unlike rigid jigs, the extruder’s thumb-wheel adjustment lets you refine thickness and curvature in real time—no screwdriver, no wheel stoppage. Tighten for elegant cup handles, dial out for robust teapot arcs.

Enhanced coating developed by tAt

Let´s check the picture of our copper-colored coating before explaing it:

The image above shows the copper-colored protective coating, specifically developed for working with clay. We are the first to introduce this technology to the ceramics industry.

Clay may seem like a soft material, but it is actually highly demanding on the cutting edge: it is both abrasive and prone to sticking to the blade. This coating addresses both challenges by extending edge life and improving cutting performance.

The product includes a custom soft case for convenient storage of the tool. The case is marked with the model name so you know which tool goes inside, for efficient use in the workshop:

FAQ:

-Will it work with stoneware bodies?
Yes. The blade can slice cleanly through both high-plasticity stoneware and porcelain, for example.

-How do I clean it?
Flush under warm water; if clay builds up, a brush and soap are sufficient. Dry it before storage.

-Can they be used directly on the lump of clay? Yes, exactly. Wet the blade of the tool in water before using it, as this will help it glide more smoothly and make the process easier.

-After cutting the clay strip, do I pull it out of the lump with my nails or fingers? You can, but the tool is intentionally designed with a flat, shaped end on the back of the handle.

This makes it easier to lift and remove the strip, especially when it is sticking to the clay.
