Im getting extremely irritated with finishing a lovely bowl and then after completing the inside finding nasty chuck marks on the tenon, i am thinking of investing in a set of Cole Jaws but having just spent another £100 on additional jaws will have to wait a while, are these easy to attach or will i be fiddling for an hour?
In the meantime i have a spare self centering chuck with 50 mm jaws attached, has anyone considered making a homemade version of the cole jaws. i also read somewhere you can make a jam chuck the same size as your bowl on scrap and then bring you centre in leaving only a small hole to contend with, does this work?
I don't know about you guys but the minute i present a finished piece to anyone the first thing they do is turn the dam thing over :twisted:
