The Dovetail Jaws give a stable and secure hold of your workpiece with both an internal grip and external grip. Supplied also is a Faceplate Ring to use for mounting bowl blanks onto the chuck before initial turning and a ‘one piece’ screw chuck; designed to bite into the workpiece, perfect for holding smaller projects.

If you’re looking to take up woodturning, then this kit is the perfect starting point. Providing you with all the essential tools you need to start work holding on the lathe and exploring this captivating and creative hobby.

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 Clubman SK80 Jaws will fit the Essential SK88 Chuck.
