3/8″ Quick Release handle insert

Available on backorder

Product Info

An extremely quick, convenient and effective way of changing woodturning tool blades. A quick twist of the wrist and the tool can be removed and replaced in seconds, no fiddly grub screws or “bits” which can be lost in the shavings. The other advantage of these units is that you are able to make the handles yourself out of most any wood, to your preferred shape and size and length. Then just replace blades in the future!.

These units are designed by Jimmy Clewes and made by Doug Thompson from high grade aluminium and are anodized in different colors for instant recognition of sizes.

This 3/8″ size accepts most all 3/8″ round shank tools.

Great Tool
I prefer to make my own handles and with this cam action I can make one handle for all my 3/8” tools.

Works well
I watched a YouTube video of Jimmy Clewes making a handle for this quick release insert and it gave me everything I needed to make one. The eccentric cam lock works quick to grab and release the chisel. I will probably buy a larger one for my thicker shaft tools.
