New Product – Introducing the Elio-DR, a drawbar ready version of the original!
The use of the drawbar with the Elio-DR Safe Drive allows for safer operation as a faceplate without tailstock support.
All three standard Elio Safe Drives have been upgraded for the use of a drawbar. Standard 1/4”-20 threads have been added with a threaded insert machined out of solid steel for strength and durability.

Here is a YouTube video explanation of the Elio-DR and the Drawbar Kit
Hi Todd
Great video. Great idea!
Good luck with it.
Cheers, Gord
Todd, can you retrofit our existing
ELIO drives with rhe treaded insert?
Thanks for contact us and leaving a comments on the website. Sorry for the delay in my reply.
I am sorry to say that I am not in a position to retrofit existing customers’ Elio drives. The shipping costs back and forth and then the liability issues prevent me from taking on such a task.
I attended a class by Lou Pignolet through the North House Folk School last Sep. 2017 in Grand Marais, MN.
What an easy tool to use and set up! Thanks for such an innovative idea!
I’ll be buying my first drive for my bowl turning as I retire!
