Good point that is poorly explained or incorrectly explained in some chuck manuals. Record Power is an example where the explanation and illustrations show the screw pushed back!

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I have the same Chuck as this one,just bought it. I was wondering how i can use the screw part as i do not have a lathe that turns down,i have to change the gear-belt? Thank you.

sorry but please add the time in the video this was explained

I bet the screw chuck works well. Now you do not have to make once!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you. And may you be blessed as well.

+Rick Stonewood Arts Thanks so much for your comment Rick. Feedback from viewers like you keep me going.

I appreciate that!

Awesome! Thank you!

Very welcome

Glad you think so!

Thanks, Dave. The WW screw is a great technique often underutiized.

You bet!

Thanks. Youtoo.

Thanks for watching, Rick!

No problem!

Yes, the surface needs to be reasonably flat. I am guessing the piece was fairly large and pushing the limits of a WW screw?

@@MikePeaceWoodturning Correct :)

+Matt KnowsThat Yes, you normally have to use the standard jaws. See the instructions for your Chuck.

+Alan Simpson I say if you like mounting with a wrench off the lathe go for it. Seems a little harder to me requiring an extra tool.

I do not have one. I have made do with a shopmade screw chuck on small piece like knobs or chess pieces as I show in videos on those. Larger pieces that I might use the precision screw chuck, I do fine with the woodworm screw. I am sure it is a nice piece of equipment but it does not solve any pressing chucking problems so would be a luxury.

Make sure to ring the bell next to the subscribe button. Be aware that YT does not always send out a notification. But I make a movie about every week and I am sure you have a lot of old ones to watch.😉

I use a two spur drive in the spindle and a live center with a point and ring, not a 90 degree cone.

Check the instructions that came with it or download from Oneway. I believe it is a 3/8" screw. Might take a 7/16" on very hard wood. Take a blank and try it.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning Thank you, will do.

+Andrew Smith Screw chuck or woodworm screw is faster. Another option would be double sided tape and a faceplate but it offers no advantages over the other two.

Thanks Mike, I appreciate your help. Take care. Cheers Andy

I do not think so. More of an issue is how hard the wood is. Sometimes you might use a large drill bit by maybe 1/32"

Thank you.

Have you tried sticking the knock out bar thru the handwheel to hold the spindle in place? That only gives you one hand to spin on the blank. But many lathes, including my big PM require holding a button to lock the spindle. Same with my Laguna midi. My gripe with the Coronet Herald (my club won one in a Record Power contest a year ago) is not having a self extracting tail stock. To save a nickle they created about the only modern lathe I have seen without a self extracting tailstock.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I tried the knockout bar through the handwheel but when the chuck, with wormscrew, are rotated clockwise the handwheel and bar just rotate and fall off. I would welcome a button, to hold, in to lock the spindle but I would imagine its a safety feature to stop you turning the lathe on when the spindle is locked. I can mount the blank onto the chuck while secured in a vice but it's annoying. I have spoken to anateur several turners, on KZfaq and they are all using the indexing lock to use worm screws, which Recordpower have warned not to do. Thanks Mike.

No. You drill the appropriate hole and twist on the blank.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning ah ok...maybe that's why it gets so loud, thanks for the tip

Probably. There is some interchangeabilty. Some might have flat spots and others some concave areas to mesh against the jaw glides. If you need a replacement and are going to buy one, I would buy one from your manufacturer even though others might work. Notice the word might (or might not).

It is typically used in what will be the hollow part of the bowl. So it goes away when you reverse the bowl to hollow.

Got it.

Yes

Thank you Mike!

Thanks, Mark. I wish I could make all of my videos this crisp. Maybe that is why this one is so popular. I am always learning.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning As a beginner your vids are VERY helpful...thanks Mike.

It should hold a shallow bowl no problem. Make the donut for a stronger hold. Richard Raffan has a video on turning a donut to strenthen a woodworm screw hold. Once you get past, say three inches, you start getting a lot of leverage and the risk increases.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning Thanks Mike. I haven’t turned something that large before and it’s daunting. I’d rather use a faceplate, but I don’t have one larger than a three inch. Another question, would a three inch faceplate work better than the worm screw?

@@e.dbogan6266 My big PM came with a 3" FP and I have held blanks weighing as much as 40 lbs. So yes, you will be fine.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning Thanks Mike. That is very helpful! Take care.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I agree I could have improved that camera angle.
