Product Description

Raffan 1" X 5/16" Skew Chisel Handled. The ultimate designs for the discriminating turner. The skew chisels are pre-formed with the radius grind popularized by Richard to increase control and 'Tame the skew". The bowl and box scrapers have gracefully curved cutting edges and massive cross-sections to damped vibration and reduce the danger of a catch. These tools are a joy to use. Diamic Brand woodturning tools have been hand made by Henry Taylor craftsmen in Sheffield England for over 150 years. The manufacture of these tools marries traditional hand crafting skills with modern heat-treating and finishing technologies to give the quality of design and edge retaining properties demanded by turners today. The proprietary alloy of steel and trace metals used by Henry Taylor yields a high-speed steel unequaled by other manufacturers. The Cutting Edge carries only high-speed steel turning tools. Although they are slightly more expensive than carbon steel tools, the heat and abrasion resisting properties of this steel produces a superior, long-lasting edge. In addition, high-speed steel is extremely resistant to accidentally drawing the temper during grinding. ... Read more

"Economy says it all"
I went against my own rule and bought the economy version of a tool. I thought "what could be wrong with a live center?". Plenty. Initially, the bearing didn't turn at all. I ended up spraying some lube in the bearing (which isn't good for the bearing but it was the only way I could get it to turn). Now I just noticed that the point is GONE. The point/bearing housing is made out of some cheap cast pot metal and it obviously overheated when the bearing wasn't turning and just disappeared. So now it's virtually useless. Go for the more expensive live center. ... Read more

Product Description

Self-centering chucks utilize a spiral scroll that causes all three jaws to close on the part at the same time when the outer ring of the chuck is turned in relation to the body. Round or square material is centered quickly and easily. Runout (centering accuracy) is guaranteed to be .003" or less. Because of the number of moving parts, accuracy greater than this cannot be guaranteed with this type of chuck. If greater centering accuracy is needed, an "independent" jaw chuck where the jaws are adjusted one at a time might be needed. Self-centering chucks are the most popular because they offer quick centering and a high enough level of accuracy for most jobs. Reversable jaws are made from hardened steel. This large chuck will hold parts from 3/32" up to 1-1/2" with the jaws in the normal position. Reversing the jaws allows parts up to 2-3/4" to be held. (Note that material held in a 4-jaw self-centering chuck must be accurately round or square or all four jaws will not contact the part.) Two steel spindle bars (sometimes called "Tommy" bars are included to tighten the chuck. For use with Sherline machine tools. ... Read more

Features

• Hardened steel reversible jaws
• Hold parts from 3/32 to 1-1/2 in regular position, to 2-3/4 with jaws reversed
• Jaws scroll together when outer ring of chuck is turned for quick centering of material
• 4 jaws hold round, square or tubular stock
• Includes two spindle bars for adjustment

Product Description

4-jaw independent chucks allow work to be held either perfectly on center or purposely off-center by adjusting each of the four jaws independently. Using a dial indicator and by careful adjustment of the jaws, a part can be adjusted until it is perfectly on center. This is known as having "zero runout." Though somewhat more time consuming to adjust than a self-centering chuck, it does allow for a much higher degree of accuracy. Typically, self-centering chucks, though quicker and eaiser to use than independent jaw chucks, offer a guaranty of runout to "less than .003 inches." If total accuracy is your goal, an independent chuck is what you need. For use with Sherline machine tools. ... Read more
