Soft Jaws for Lathe Chucks

- Many scroll chuck manufacturers offer Soft chuck jaw blanks of nylon that allow you to create custom jaws easily to suit your specific needs. These soft jaws for lathe chucks are great for that one-off chucking as well as repeat use for a specialty woodturning project.
I upload new wood turning videos regularly so Ya’ll come back, hear?

Another informative, honest video. Thanks Mike.
Thank you, Peter.
Once again, you have given me something to think about! This is the answer to holding my products for finishing. SAFE TURNING, John
Good deal, John. Let me know how it works out.
Mike, I've been turning for a few years and never heard of soft jaws until now. Thanks for the great video!
Glad I introduced you to something new! Thanks for the feedback.
I have seen those jaws on the Nova display in the Rockler store but until now had no idea what they were for. Thanks for the update. It was very timely. I always look forward to your weekly submission. There is always something for me to use. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Glen.
As always; very nice video. Great tip on using the wood dowel. Thanks for all your videos.
I appreciate your comment, Tim.
I’ve wondered what they would be used for, thank you!
Great idea! Great tips Mike. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks for commenting.
That’s very interesting. While I’m not ready for something like this now I’m sure this video will come in handy someday when I get more experienced with the lathe.
Another view from you down the road would be good! Thanks for your support.
You are my favorite wood turning channel, keep it up!
Excellent! I always wanted to be number one at something, sometime, somewhere!
Nice answer, that's awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 also don't forget your a 1 and only, here's another one for ya to add to your list.

Enjoy these extra 1sts
Great video! I will be ordering a set before long and definitely will order them through your channel.
Thanks for your support!
Good video, Mike!
Thanks, Rick. Now when you come up with a project that would benefit from nylon jaws, you can pull yours out and go for it.
Always good tips Mike👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Alan!
Appreciate you sharing thanks have a blessed day
And you as well.
27 degrees here in CO today - but I went out and got my Nova soft jaws out so I can see what I might do with them - again thanks Mike for the vid and tip
Brrrrr! Good luck.
Great video Mike and jaw's for the job. Y.N.W.A.
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
Thanks Mike, I didn't know those types of jaws even existed.
Great video...been using jam chucks for years, didn't even know these were available....gotta get a set for my Nova....lotta possibilities! Many Thanks!
Glad to help. Compare price for Record Power with Nova. They are interchangeable.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Thanks Mike
Cool!
Thanks for the video Mike. I could use these on some projects that I have in mind.
Great!. Happy you found it useful.
Good info Mike, didn't know about these before. The jaws could be a good solution to some finishing issues.
Yes, I had some for years before I made this video. Still have not used them yet.
Nice one dad 😝
Thanks
Just got some Record jaws on clearance at WoodCraft (search record-power-soft-jaw-62378). It's a great deal and I like that the Record jaws fit on my Nova chuck.
Got to love a clearance buy!
Hi Mike, good tips. I purchased a set of these for my Nova a while back but I haven't modded yet. Watching your video has given me the idea of putting a bit of a taper profile on the outside edge to use as a jam Chuck inside small bowls along with the tailstock to help remove tenons. I can use the inside to grip smaller spindles then my standard jaws. I am wondering the purpose of the dowel you used, you didn't go into detail on why beyond saying it set an eighth inch gap.
You want to have as close to a circle when closed as possible. But you want to be able to tighten a bit as well. The 1/8" gap gives you a bit of tightening room. I think you will be happy using it to reverse small bowls as you described.
Thanks again for Tips and Tricks
I must have a dozen of the soft jaw each with specialized cut. Nothing could be easier to turn the exact profile needed and they last forever
Can you leave a link to where you purchased the two different jaws, I’ve only purchased the red set of jaws.
Again thanks
The green ones are Record Power available wherever Record Power products are sold. You can find them in my Amazon shop by clicking on the link in the description of all of my videos.
pretty cool . wonder if you could make these out of wood . i would not trust them with big bowls or any thing but i bet it would work great with little boxes and so on .
Yes, some turners do. I have not tried it yet but will one of these days. It is a lot more work.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning yeah i could see how it would be more work .
Mike - I have made a number of accessories from HDPE cutting boards that I buy at the dollar store. I'm inclined to think that you could make something similar from that kind of material. HDPE turns very easily although the waste is very 'stringy'
acrylic turners would be right at home then - lol
Absolutely. If I see a dollar cutting board I may give it a try.
Great video, as usual. Unrelated question, what is the purpose of that triangular casting with a hole at the apex bolted to the back of your feedstock?
Head stock, I typed in headstock evidently auto correct is being pedantic today!
It is designed to hold the safety cage. I did a video on this a while back.
Thanks Mike. Don't know how I missed that. I'm a fairly new turner, 2 years, and I find your help invaluable. I really appreciate the time and trouble you take. Thanks again.
Looks like a good product to add to my arsenal. I just did a quick search and it seems they’re not available for Oneway.
I thought they had some but do not see them on the Oneway site. They do have some flat metal jaws designed to hold wooden jaws you make.
I want to try making a live edge bowl, could they also be used as a jamb for live edge bowls? And if not do you have a recommendation to help hold small bowls to cut off a tenon? Thank you.
Your best bet is the tradtional way of using a friction chuck on the inside with TS support and cut the tenon to a nub and saw off. Details here th-cam.com/video/CIqCQxWUkTk/w-d-xo.html
do they make these for Oneway Stronghold chucks?
I do not see any in the Craft Supplies catalogue but you might check with Oneway.
Hi Mike, I don't know how much these plastic jaws are but unless they are very cheap (and I do not see that very often when buying lathe tools) why would you not just make some out of plywood or softwood?
We know that one size does not fit all. Some folks like making things and some don't. Why does anyone buy a tool handle for an unhandled tool when they can simply turn one? Some folks have a problem, real or perceived, and they are more than happy to purchase a solution. For production turners making a living turning, their time is probably worth more than the cost of the nylon jaws, so buying the jaws is an easy business decision. I am not recommending making or buying since that depends on so many individual factors including skills, $ value of time, and mostly what do you enjoy doing.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I hear what you are saying and agree, but the less nylon that will one day end up in landfill the better for me.
