The ever-expanding range of Axminster woodturning chucks now covers almost every type of
work-holding requirement, from dolls’ house chair legs just a few millimetres in diameter to two-foot
diameter bowls weighing twenty kilograms or more. Precision made in high grade steel, the chucks and
their associated accessories have been developed over the years, in many cases in conjunction with
our professional turning friends, to cover almost every eventuality likely to be encountered by the
amateur or professional alike. One of our guiding principles has always been to ensure that as many
different operations as possible can be carried out without removing the chuck from the lathe. This
approach, combined with the provision of multiple gripping diameters on most of the jaws, gives
minimum outlay coupled with maximum flexibility of operation.
Apart from the Junior, which uses engineering end mill collets to hold small work pieces, all the
Axminster chucks use the tried and tested scroll mechanism to control the jaw travel. This system
provides the dual benefits of a nominal half inch of radial movement of each jaw in expansion and
contraction and a security of grip onto
the work which is unrivalled by any
of the collet style chucks on the
market.
