  • Designed with an internal dovetail to fit securely onto the standard 2" (50mm) jaws. These rings work in the same way as normal faceplates but with the convenience of the easy chuck fitting. Available with an outer diameter of 3⅛" (80mm) and 4¾" (120mm).
  • These extended jaws act like a pin chuck, expanding into a pre-bored hole. A useful technique for free form edge bowls as you don't have to bore an exact size as with other pin jaws. The longer jaws allow for a very powerful spigot grip for smaller work. Also features a small dovetail. Expansion 26 - 46mm Contraction square: 28 - 7mm Contraction spigot 31 - 10mm
  • Featuring a specialised dovetail profile, these jaws are ideal for turning large bowls, green timber and hollow vessels. They combine the profile of our previously popular 100 mm dovetail jaws with a deep body and internal teeth to improve versatility. The outer dovetail jaws are ideal for large bowls or platters, particularly when gripping onto a spigot and the deep internal toothed body is ideal for large spigots of large hollow vessels. Expansion: 94 - 114 mm Contraction Spigot: 76 - 95 mm Contraction Square: 54 - 74 mm
  • Featuring a specialised dovetail profile, these jaws are ideal for turning up to 30” bowls. They also feature a reverse dovetail for a contracting grip on large spigots. Expansion: 125 - 145 mm Contraction Spigot: 104 - 123 mm Contraction Square: 74 - 94 mm   .

Expansion: 54 - 74 mm Contraction Spigot: 38 - 58 mm Contraction Square: 27.5 - 48 mm
  • To complement the new pin jaws, the mini spigot jaws have also been improved. These jaws perform many of the same tasks in expansion and the extra screw hole profiles and added teeth to the outside provide tremendous grip for when this area will not be visible in the finished work piece. This set has been given a 13 mm internal diameter, making it ideal for turning strong spigots on knobs and handles, again adding to their versatility. Expansion: 26 - 46 mm Contraction Spigot: 13 - 33 mm Contraction Square: 11 - 31 mm
  • These jaws are fantastically effective for drilling pen blanks. They eliminate the need for a drill press and offer much more accurate results and the deep grip to all four sides ensures incredible holding power. Drilling on the lathe means the feed speed of the drill bit is under your complete control, meaning a superior finish can be achieved on a wide range of materials. These jaws are also useful for working on small finials and similar projects as in addition to their strong grip, the work piece is moved forward from the chuck, allowing greater access. Contraction Square: 10 - 26 mm Contraction Spigot: 11 - 20 mm Expansion: 35 - 64 mm
  • Records' new pin jaws have been improved by squaring the external shoulder to allow workpieces to properly register against the back of the jaws. This is ideal for use in expansion, to grip tubes in work pieces such as pepper or salt grinders. We have also reduced the internal diameter to 9 mm, making it ideal for making finials or lace bobbins - Thereby increasing its versatility. This set is ideal for miniature turning and to grip workpieces internally without excessive damage or marking. Expansion: 28 - 45 mm Contraction Spigot: 9 - 28 mm Contraction Square: 7 - 27 mm

  • Stebcentre

    £61.26£71.48
    The original Stebcentre is an invaluable accessory for every woodturner. Fitted in the lathe head-stock it is a boon for both the novice and the experienced. Its ring of sharp teeth ensure that the Stebcentre bites the wood to give more security and more drive. Because there are several points of contact there is minimal risk of splitting. The Stebcentre can be used with equal confidence on both soft and hardwoods as well as synthetic materials. In its patented design the Stebcentre also features a spring-loaded point. By slightly backing off the tail-stock the work piece still remains resting between the revolving centre and the Stebcentre. This allows the turner to inspect his work without the need to switch off the lathe. Where time is a critical factor the Stebcentre is ideal as the work-piece can be quickly removed without stopping the lathe. Overall length: 4". Patent No. 2286138
  • Largely inspired by Norwegian turner Petter Herud a series of Revolving (or Live) Stebcentres has been introduced. Not only do these offer the same degree of security as the conventional Stebcentre, but they have allowed the turner to experiment with basic off-centre turning.
