There are two standard models of NorthStar extruders. One has a stainless steel barrel, and the other is regular steel with a powder-coated exterior surface, frame and handle. The Stainless and Standard models are identical in shape and capacity. Any NorthStar standard die fits either one.

Between the two models, the Stainless Extruder offers the most versatility. It can be used with just about any clay type, as long as the clay is soft and easy to work with your hands. Because stainless steel won't rust, it is ideal for use with stoneware clays and porcelain. If you're going to use these clay types, the Stainless extruder might be your best choice.

The interior of the Standard exrtuder is plain steel. It should be washed out and periodically protected with a light film of machine oil or silicone lubricant. Without that protection, it may develop light oxidation or rust which can stain your clay. Keep it clean and dry between uses, and you can use the Standard extruder just like the Stainless model.

Remember: both the Standard and the Stainless extruders come with the NS915 Basic Die Set. Several of the dies contain 4 cavities of different sizes. Use the die mask to block off any three of them.
