25MM JAWS

These jaws are used for expansion into small recesses and for firm holding of fine spindle work, such as earrings, chess pieces, etc.. To turn very small articles, the jaws can be unscrewed and the backing jaws only can be used.

DOVETAIL JAWS

Dovetail jaws are designed for mounting bowls by expanding into a recess or clamping onto a spigot. The size indicated is the outside measurement of the jaw face when fully closed. Dovetail jaws provide approximately 25mm of expansion beyond their specified size.

KEY CHUCK

The 4-Jaw Chucks provide one-hand tightening along with tremendous griping power provided by the 6 to 1 ratio of the scroll. The totally enclosed back assures consistent, smooth action by preventing dust and debris from getting into scroll of the Chuck.
Key chuck cannot be beaten when it comes to holding power.
Its compact size makes it ideal for use on 300mm capacity lathes or smaller.
Basic Chuck includes: Chuck body, dovetail jaw set; T-Bar Allen Key;screw point; Key chuck; appropriate Adapter to fit your lathe and owner’s manual.

CLAMP-MODE

With this application the workpiece is held by the jaws. To achieve a good hold, press the bowl end hard against the jaws. Fasten the workpiece to the screw or onto a face plate. When pre-turning bowls from green timber it is possible to do this between centers or with a pivot chuck. Turn a 5 to 10mm deep dovetail recess first.

EXPANSION MODE

For this application arecess is turned into thework piece. The depth ofthe recess depends on the actual size of the workpiece as well as the type oftimber used. The minimum depth should be 5mm to 10mm.

MAINTENANCE

The chuck is engineered to close tolerances and may initially be stiff to operate. With use movement will be easier.To maintain easy jaw action, regularly spray oil into the scroll and work Key chuck through full range of movement. Inspect chuck regularly for build-up of dust in the scroll and jaws.Clean as required.

BEGINNER’S HINTS

Prepare the wokpiece the following way:
200-250mm dia.40-50mm thick; RPM80- 100

Drill a 25mm deep and 7-8mm dia. hole in the center of workpiece (avoid drilling the end grain, less grip).
Make sure the work piece is as round as possible.
Choose appropriate speed before you start the lathe.
Screw the work piece hard against the jaws.
Heavy or unbalanced work pieces should not be fastened directly to the screw chuck. Use the faceplate rings instead.
