The Axminster Woodturning Deep Grip Jaws are one of the most popular style jaws in the larger chuck and are perfect for hollow forms or turning unseasoned timber. Initially named Piranha jaws, due to their incredible ‘bite’ they expand into an 57mm recess or contract onto a 41mm spigot. The 27mm deep jaw has a series of ridges giving the jaw immense holding power at the top of these is an internal and external dovetail, great to hold bowls with the added length away from the chuck body allows better access to the workpiece.

The Deep Grip Jaws also feature a dovetail at the top, perfect for expanding into a bowl recess. The longer length of these jaws also give you greater access behind ythe project. These jaws are designed to fit the SK88 chuck and will simply bolt onto the Accessory Mounting Jaws. All made entirely in Axminster, UK. As the Essential SK88 Chuck and Jaws are made from EN1A steel, instead of stainless steel like the Clubman and Evolution premium chuck offerings, it is recommend to spray it lightly with a dry lubricant on a regular basis to prevent tarnishing.
