Axminster, Short Tool Handle

Product Description

This Axminster woodturning handle is the short version with an overall length of 345mm (13.1/2"). (Long version is product code 102428). The aluminium shaft has a comfortable medium/hard foam covering. The covering is durable, comfortable and gives a positive non-slip grip while you are turning. The business end has a 12-13mm ER20 collet, which firmly grips onto a 12.7mm(1/2") diameter round bar. Originally intended for use with 12.7mm double-ended turning gouges, you can of course grip any turning tool whose bar diameter is between 12mm and 13mm. ER20 collets do not lock up like conventional collets. They are interchangeable; if you need to grip a different diameter bar, then you only need purchase a suitable size ER20 collet. These are available in sizes 2-13mm in 1mm increments. The collet nut has a fine thread, producing a secure grip even when tightened by hand alone. The Axminster woodturning handle includes a C-spanner and tommy bar to release the nut if required.
