Lathe Accessories: A Complete Guide for Woodturners

Woodturning is an intricate and complex craft that requires a variety of specialized tools and accessories to achieve precision and quality results. Whether you're turning bowls, spindles, or pens, having the right accessories for your wood lathe will make all the difference. At The Woodturning Store, we offer an extensive selection of lathe accessories from top brands like Hurricane Turning Tools, Robust, Oneway, Record Power, and Axminster to help you elevate your woodturning skills. Our website features a wide array of accessories to fit almost every wood lathe on the market - and to help you tackle a variety of tasks.

Types of Lathe Accessories

Lathe accessories are designed to assist in various aspects of woodturning, from holding workpieces securely to enhancing your ability to shape, drill, and finish your creations. Below, we’ll explore the different categories of lathe accessories and their unique functions.

Bowl Coring Systems

Bowl coring systems, like the Oneway Easy Core System, are designed to maximize wood usage and reduce waste by allowing you to cut multiple bowl blanks from a single piece of wood. This system not only saves material but also increases productivity, especially for woodturners who frequently create bowls. By removing the core from the center of a bowl, you can use it for additional projects, resulting in less waste and more creative opportunities.

Wood Lathe Drilling Attachments

Lathe drilling attachments are essential for making accurate and consistent holes in your workpieces. These accessories attach to your lathe and enable precise drilling, especially when you are working on projects within the realm of pen turning, box making, and spindle work. High-quality drill chucks and attachments ensure reliable performance, helping you achieve perfect alignment and depth for every hole.

Robust Steady Rests

Steady rests provide additional support to longer or more delicate workpieces, reducing vibration and ensuring a smoother, more stable turning process. Robust steady rests are built with durable materials to handle large pieces and their adjustable design allows you to securely hold workpieces of various sizes. Whether you're turning a long spindle or working on an intricate hollow form, a steady rest can make the process more manageable and precise.

Tool Rests

Tool rests are crucial for providing support to your tools while you're turning. Adjustable tool rests allow you to comfortably position your tools, ensuring better control and accuracy while shaping your workpiece. We offer various types of tool rests, including:

  • Standard Tool Rest: A versatile rest suited for most turning projects.
  • Curved Tool Rest: Interior or Exterior curves which are designed for reaching into concave shapes like bowls and vases.
  • S-Shaped Tool Rest: Provides access to difficult-to-reach areas when turning curved or hollow forms.
  • Other Options Include:
    • J-Curved Tool Rest
    • Shear Scrape Tool Rest
    • Low Profile Tool Rest

Lathe Faceplates

Faceplates are flat, circular accessories that attach directly to the wood via screws, providing a secure hold for larger, heavier pieces like bowls and platters. Faceplates are ideal for turning shallow workpieces, where a solid grip is needed for maximum stability.

Lathe Drive Centers

Lathe drive centers are used to transfer power from the headstock to the workpiece, allowing it to spin during turning. Available in various designs, drive centers grip the wood securely and ensure smooth, consistent rotation. Popular types include:

  • Standard Drive Center: Provides a reliable grip for most general woodturning projects.
  • Steb Center: Features sharp teeth for an enhanced grip, ideal for aggressive turning operations.

Lathe Tailstock Centers

Tailstock centers are positioned at the tailstock of the lathe, providing support and stability to the workpiece during turning. Tailstock centers rotate with the workpiece, minimizing friction and ensuring smooth operation. They are available in several styles, including:

  • Live Center: A versatile and commonly used center for most woodturning projects.
  • Revolving Center: Provides additional support for larger or heavier workpieces.

Headstock Spindle Adapters

Headstock spindle adapters allow you to attach accessories with different thread sizes to your lathe’s spindle. These adapters increase the versatility of your lathe, enabling you to use a wider range of chucks, faceplates, and other accessories without the need to invest in new tools for every thread size.
