Product Description
Axminster Woodturning have recreated some of our most popular jaws in a smaller size to accommodate the Discovery GK88 chuck. The Axminster Woodturning Pen Jaws allow you to drill pen blanks with confidence, knowing the result will be accurate and centred every time. Drilling a pen blank can be tricky, the hole needs to be central, straight and round. While various jigs are available for doing the job on a pillar drill, by far the best method is to do the job on the lathe. The Axminster Woodturning Pen Jaws are 42mm deep and can accommodate either round or square blanks from 16mm upwards. The internal profile ensures a secure grip, even if the pen blank is not quite square. Using the jaws in your chuck and mounted on your lathe ensures the blank and the drill bit are centred on the same axis. You also have control of the speed of rotation and the feed speed of the drill bit. Advance the bit steadily and retract frequently to clear the waste. Once the jaws are fitted to your chuck you can drill batches of blanks to help speed up pen production. These jaws are designed to fit the GK88 chuck and will simply bolt onto the Accessory Mounting Jaws. All made entirely in our manufacturing facility in Axminster, UK. Please note: the Axminster Woodturning Discovery GK88 range of jaws are compatible with the Discovery GK100 and SK100 Chucks. They are also compatible with the Evolution SK114 Chuck, providing the GK88 Mounting Jaws are used.
