Slowing a motor on a potter’s wheel

[John Doe 2Participant @johndoe2]

Epicyclic gearbox inside the driving pulley – Would that work ? No motor change or layshafts required.

The driving pulley would have to be large enough to accommodate the gearbox, which would speed up the wheel, but the high gearbox reduction would make up for that.

However; are epicyclic gearboxes available which will turn the output in the same direction to its input ?
