MKM WOOD AND STEEL RIBS ARE THE SAME SIZE
 MKM Professional Series Ribs are made of a 1mm thick rigid stainless steel (1.5 mm thick for the larger ribs). These ribs have a variety of curves, sizes, and shapes to fit a wide variety of needs -- small rounded ribs for inside jars and bottles, plate ribs of several dimensions, finishing ribs, cylinder ribs, bowl ribs of every size and curve, ribs for flanged plates, etc. The smooth and narrow edges of the ribs allow for excellent control of the clay surface, very low drag against the clay wall, and an unprecedented ease of use. In short, these ribs are designed to work with you and for you in ways that have so far been unavailable to the potter.

2A  2a 2 "x 1 " in Interior rib.  Very useful inside small vase and jar forms for pushing out the wall.  More effective than flexible ribs when used inside a form.  Use in conjunction with a flexible rib or credit card on the exterior of the form.
2B  2b 4" x 3" General use medium size bowl rib for bowl interiors.  The flatter bottom part of the rib is useful for setting the curve on small to medium size plates.
3A  3a  3' x 1 1/8' Small bowl interiors, vertical wall compression, and general use.
3B  3b 3" x 1" Useful for small to medium size bowls, and for compressing vertical walls.
4   4  4 5/8" x 1 7/8" Small bowl interiors.  External vertical wall compression.   The sharp end is useful for rim and wall details.
5   5 2" x 2" This rib provides different corner radius's.  Each corner of the rib has a different radius.
6   6 4 1/8" x 1 7/8" Vertical wall compression.  The curved side is great for working the sides of gently curved exterior walls of vase and jar forms.  Angling it away from the vertical increases the effective curve of the rib.
7A  7a 2 7/8" x 1 7/8" Interior rib, medium size.  Use this rib when working with inside of forms that are to be expanded.  Much more effective than a soft rib, or fingers for moving out clay walls.
7B   W7b 3 1/8" x 2" Larger size of W7a.
8A   8a 4 1/8" x 2" This rib works well inside large bowls with steep walls and flatter, but still curved, bottoms.  Use blunt end facing out when on the bottom of the bowl, and with the blunt end facing down when on the wall of the bowl.
8B   W8b " x 2 7/8" Same as W8a larger 6
9    9 4" x 2" This rib is useful for smoothing the marks left by trim tools.  The narrow end smoothes inside the foot ring, and the flat sides and curved larger end is useful on the curved exteriors of bowls, etc.
10    10 4" x 2" Multiple use rib.  Bowl interiors, vertical wall compression, with a sharp corner for base and rim details.
11  11 4 1/8" x 2" For compressing clay walls and removing slip.  Also useful for compressing and working with slabs.
12A  12a  3" x 2" Very useful general bowl and plate rib.
12B    12b 6" x 3 7/8" Great general use large plate and bowl rib.  Comes in two sizes.
