Axminster - SK88-110517- O'Donnell Dovetail Jaws

Axminster Woodturning have recreated some of our most popular jaws in the smaller size to accommodate the 88mm Essential Chuck.

The Axminster Woodturning SK88 O’Donnell Dovetail Jaws feature an extended nose to allow greater access around a turning project. These jaws offer three gripping options. The nose has external and internal dovetails, 50mm and 37mm respectively. In addition, the deep central bore grips a 35mm diameter spigot, offering rock solid work holding when turning goblets and similar items. These diameters are taken with the jaws at a true circle. However, the chuck allows a wide range of movement to accommodate any deviation. Potentially the internal range is 35mm to 53mm, the external 45mm to 66mm and the spigot 30mm to 51mm.

These jaws are designed to fit the SK88 chuck and will simply bolt onto the Accessory Mounting Jaws. All made entirely in our manufacturing facility in Axminster, UK.

As the Essential SK88 Chuck and Jaws are made from EN1A steel, instead of stainless steel like our Clubman and Evolution premium chuck offerings, we recommend spraying it lightly with a dry lubricant on a regular basis to prevent tarnishing. You should do this more frequently if you are working in a damp workshop or turning wet timber.

Please note: the Axminster Woodturning Essential SK88 range of jaws are compatible with the Clubman SK80 Chuck. The Essential SK88 Jaws will also fit our Clubman & Evolution SK100 Chucks as well as our Evolution SK114 Chuck, providing the SK88 Mounting Jaws are used.
