10 inch (25cm) batt with inserts to fit the Shimpo Aspire wheel. The Lucky Bat System for Shimpo Aspire consists of one 10" master bat and ten inserts. The master bat in this set is carved from formaldehyde-free 3/4" Medex brand HMR MDF. The master bat is reversible in that it can be turned over and used as a 10" bat. Engraved guide lines help center your work on the bat. That is especially useful for trimming Inserts are made of 6mm (1/4") Baltic Birch Plywood, which is a premium material. Bat pin holes are sized to fit the M5 cap screws used as pins on the Aspire. Inserts fit snugly in the bathole and a finger recess helps lift the insert holding your creation from the master bat. Canadian Customers- Price Includes GST PRODUCT INFO- Please note that this are a full 3/4" thick and more warp resistant than a 1/2" thick bat. HMR (High Moisture Resistant) MDF is a fiberboard material made with formaldehyde-free adhesive and woodfiber. HMR MDF (Medex) is much more resistant to water and moisture than regular MDF and will be less likely to warp if abused. The inserts in this set are made from 6mm (1/4") Baltic Birch Plywood which is nice and thick and more resistant to wear and warping than the old MDF inserts we use to sell. This bat also has good clay adhesion and will last a long time if given proper care and storage. CARING FOR YOUR BATS- Bats will last almost indefinitely if well maintained. For best results, sponge a little water onto dry, porous bats before use, but don’t let them become waterlogged. Scrape off clay before it dries to avoid creating a lot of dust, and store bats on edge to avoid trapping moisture. Do not saturate MDF bats or leave them submerged in water- this may cause them to warp and swell.
