Robert Sorby ECCENTRIC CHUCK - RS60 - NO INSERT

Robert Sorby RS60
Eccentric Chuck - No Insert

• The Robert Sorby Eccentric Chuck is the most sophisticated chuck for multi-centre turning.
• Ease and accuracy of adjustment (without removing the workpiece from the chuck) is provided by the unique offset boss which accommodates the three different driving components on which to mount your workpieces:-
  1 - Screwchuck: the 25x10mm diameter parallel wood screw provides tremendous grip in either side or end grain. Requires simply an 8mm diameter pilot hole.
  2 - Faceplate: An alternative method of attaching the work piece. Allowing the turner flexibility of approach. Ideal for larger work.
  3 - Ball drive and socket: A unique system for driving between centres. The hexagonal ball and socket unit allows the work piece to be angled within 20 degrees of the lathe's axis. Ideal for Cabriole legs. The socket component is flanged and drilled for attaching to the work but can also be repositioned to index a variety of polygon sections. Allowing eccentric turning at one end of the work blending into concentricity at the other
• The Eccentric Chuck provides the means of driving from the headstock with or without tailstock support. The boss can be off-set incrementally by 1.1/4" (30mm) from zero datum point.
• The fully system is housed in a fitted, rigid plastic case for convenience and ease of storage. The Eccentric Chuck comes complete with a comprehensive 12-page instruction manual, interactive CD and project book. A thread adapter is required to fit to lathes of differing headstock thread.
• The Eccentric Chuck is featured in our Decorative Techniques DVD (RSDVDDT) and the Thread Cutting and Eccentric Chuck DVD (RSDVDTCEC).
