Woodturning Starter Kit GK100 Chuck Package / M33

Made in Axminster
Designed, developed and manufactured entirely in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Axminster. This gives us complete control in ensuring the chucks we produce are supreme in terms of quality, accuracy and longevity.

Stainless steel & super precision as standard
We are mindful that chucks can corrode so stainless steel is the perfect choice of materials for the chuck. The Discovery SK100 chuck is machined to tolerance for a perfect fit of both jaws and the lathe mandrel.

C dovetail jaws
One of our most versatile and popular jaw sets, these are especially useful for small bowls and end grain work such as boxes and goblets as well as bowl turning.

Faceplate ring
A faceplate ring enables you to easily mount bowl blanks, platters and the like to ensure a firm grip of your blank whilst you turn. Simply screw the ring to the chosen blank with woodscrews and expand the dovetail jaws into the recess in the centre of the ring.

Screw chuck
The screw chuck is compatible with the Dovetail Jaws Type C. Particularly useful for the initial mounting of bowl blanks whilst the outer form and the dovetail base are being shaped.

Interchangeable backplate
With versatility in mind, the stainless steel, interchangeable backplate allows you to keep your chuck body and swap your backplate should you wish to upgrade your lathe and need a different thread size.

Reverse locking is available on the M33 x 3.5mm backplate. This unique, universal thread combines the standard M33 x 3.5mm thread, allows users to add the ASR Locking Ring, as well as grub screws to turn in reverse, all in one thread. If you would like to turn in reverse, you require a lathe with an M33 x 3.5mm EURO standard (ASR) spindle and the 109370 ASR Locking Ring (sold separately).

Interchangeable backplate
Geared chuck key
The Discovery SK100 features an enclosure that makes the chuck fully enclosed. The chuck therefore uses a square key, allowing for a more positive engagement with the scroll and easy operation by giving the user extra torque.

Finely machined SafetyJaw
Manufactured in our own machine shop in Axminster, these long accessory mounting jaws and unrivalled for quality and precision. We like to call them SafetyJaws because a unique feature of these jaws is that if extended beyond the body of the chuck, the edges have been modified with a slight radius to minimise the chance of injury should hands get too close to the rotating chuck during use. Added safety features also help to ensure the jaws are correctly mounted safely to the chuck.
