Product Info
A screw chuck is a quick and convenient method for mounting a turning blank on your lathe. The central screw is stainless steel with a deep sharp thread for a positive and secure hold. It only requires you to drill a single shallow hole in the blank. Unlike a face plate which requires several screws to attach the timber, a screw chuck has a single central screw. It is ideal for smaller or shallow workpieces, (always assess the suitability for the size of the work).
These screw chucks fit into C jaws of an Axminster woodturning chuck. No need to remove the chuck from the lathe when turning a bowl. Use the screw chuck to turn the outside then remount the bowl in the chuck without removing the chuck from the lathe. Thus guaranteeing complete concentricity.
To fit into the 100mm and 114mm C dovetail jaws.
For particularly shallow pieces use a plywood spacer to reduce the effective length of the screw.
Supplied fitted with an 8mm x 25mm long screw. Two smaller size screws are available separately, useful in making wooden fruit etc.
