Soft Jaws

Would you like to turn your own custom made Jaws to suit your work piece?? Now you can do it with the all-new Vicmarc Acetyl Soft Jaws.

Jaws made from Acetyl allow Woodturners to turn their own Chuck Jaws for whatever diameter is required to hold the work piece. Once screwed on to a Vicmarc chuck, simply turn the Acetyl Jaws for each job required using normal woodturning chisels. On completion of a job, machine a new clamping shape in to the Acetyl jaws to be ready for the next job.
150 mm (dia) - VM120 and VM150

?The adjustable jaws allow you to re- chuck bowls for finishing the bottom or do light clean- up work on the foot of the bowl. To mount the bowl, the bowl is reversed and held by the rim, either internal or external, with 8 unique soft PVC stoppers which are mounted on the face of the jaws. These stoppers have two different radii, 100 & 150 on both concave and convex faces.

25mm Pin Jaws

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

Shark Jaws

Shark jaws are so called because of their serrated inner and outer jaw surfaces. These extended jaws provide an aggressive hold. They hold cylinder spigots much more safely than standard jaws. They are much easier and faster than traditional jaws used to turn long workpieces. Available in 35mm and 45mm.

These jaws allow better access between the chuck body and the rear of the workpiece. They are also very practical when pre- turned workpieces or long workpieces have to be refastened. For example, when turning serviette rings or remounting rough turned work. I find them very useful when thread chasing the femaleinsert for the urns I make, there is plenty of space behind the ring to pass the chaser without bottoming out.

This device has been designed as an aid to woodturning. It enables an item to be re- mounted on the lathe for finishing without risking further holding marks. This device can be fitted directly into a Vicmarc chuck via the standard jaws, or an insert can be supplied as an extra to allow mounting directly onto the spindle. Size: 300mm.

Multi-Purpose Jaws VM120 - VM150

By removing one or more of the dovetail segments from these jaws, they are adaptable to a variety of uses. The wide range of expansion and contraction of the Uni- Chuck provides for unique adaptability when using these jaws.
