  • Precision Machine 1-3/4" Screw Center Chuck

    Precision Machine 1-3/4" Screw Center Chuck

    in MT

    Precision machine 1 3/4" inch screw center chuck

    I have four Precision Machine 3" screw center chucks, two of the 1 3/4" screw center chucks, and two of the (now discontinued) 4 3/4" screw center chucks. I first bought a couple of these twenty years ago, and have added more from time to time. I've found PM to produce an exceptional product and tolerance is within a few thousandths for all of them. I much prefer steel faceplates to aluminum. These will withstand use and abuse, and will last longer than you will! It is a good idea to get the replacement screw. I have modified one of my chuck center screws for a special purpose, and eventually you probably will, too.....have another one on hand. I have multiple screw center chucks, so that remounting of unfinished work is possible without the need to re-install the chuck. This insures perfect alignment on subsequent remounts.

  • Precision Machine Pen Center

    Precision Machine Pen Center

    RANDY in MT

    A product that works, quality at its best.

    I have turned over 30 pens with it, and it works great, fast changing, and quiet. I have seen one on another site at half the price, but after reading the reviews on there's I knew it was not the one I wanted, you get what you pay for, this was every bit worth the extra money. You will not regret buying this one.

  • Turners Select Morse Taper Reducer

    Turners Select Morse Taper Reducer

    Corey in WI

    Required modification for use with small lathe

    I was switching from a very old 1MT lathe to a new(er) Rikon 70-050VS so I puchased the reducer so I could continue using the older 1MT centers while I bought newer 2MT replacements. Upon inserting the reducer I found that it bottomed out in the headstock before making proper contact around the collar, but this was easily corrected by cutting 7/8" off the bottom (most of the black part). After that it worked perfectly. This issue probably only exists with specific smaller lathes.

  • Vicmarc VM120 Chuck w/ Jaws

    Vicmarc VM120 Chuck w/ Jaws

    Dave in AZ

    Outstanding Chuck!

    I have ben thoroughly impressed with the Vicmarc 120 Chuck. Solid, precision engineering with superior holding power on dry/wet and soft or hard wood. Tightening the jaws is smooth and solid with very secure grip. 5" jaws are adequate for most medium to big jobs and tool accessories are easy to use and fit well. Overall, this is a great first chuck for any woodturner and I would recommend it highly! Dave from AZ

    Turners Select No-Lock Spindle Washer

    DR. TAREK in

    life is easy now when you want to change chucks

    This has made my life very easy as I do not need the tools now to change the chucks. I have only five chucks but some time I have more than one project at any one time and I do not like to remove the items without the chuck until it is finished and it used to be a struggle now I can unlock the chucks by hand only it a must if you need to change items frequently. It is solid and easy to fit with a resistance to dust. All machines should have them as standard.
