Talon chuck

George Try to focus here please. This thread started with your outrageous claim that woodworm screws were to be used on "small" items. More than one person has responded attempting to show you that your claim was flat out wrong.

Both Leo and I have used a woodworm screw for several years and they have not evaporated in a pile of rust!!! I have no doubt that on the molecular level there is very likely some deterioration of my woodworm screw. However, I am sure that when it gets to the size of a darning needle I can quite easily go and buy another.

So YOU have a nice day.......

Hi Bill

Thanks, glad it helped you Bill.

The reason I worked on both sides of the bowl was to show that the woodwurm screw and Oneway chuck holds enough to even turn on the wrong side of the bowl, (wrong side meaning, on the side that would turn the blank/bowl off of the screw if the bowl was stopped while the lathe is turning).

Yes my lathe (is a metal turning lathe also) and most higher end lathes are reversible.

Speaking of the Talon chuck, does anyone know how big the "mini-Cole" jaws are? I would assume they are sized to fit a Jet or Delta minilathe, but none of the sources I've found gives dimensions.

Thanks.

Try this "source" Owen.

Per the Oneway web site the mini jumbo jaws has a closed diameter of

I can't give you an exact size but they work well with my Delta Midi. Oneway calls them Mini-Jumbo jaws.

Thanks, all. Don't know why I kept looking at Craft Supplies and Packard and the rest, but never thought to go to the source.

That's what I like about this group ... everyone here is so polite!
