Rim Chuck Review

Mar 12, 2007 1 Replies

Hello All,



I have just posted my final review of the Richard Benham Rim Chuck at my web site: . This is a very fine chuck for finishing the foot of bowls. I found it also very useful to hold a rough turned and dried bowl while re-turning the foot to fit the chuck. It may be a bit expensive, but it is less expensive than a vacuum chuck set up and it is more secure than the Longworth Chucks that I've used. The file is a PDF and a fairly large file.

Thanks Fred, when I first saw this design (in another publication)

-they- called it a Longworth chuck, only a 6 point one, rather then a 4 point. But I agree, it is more stable then a conventional Longworth.
