Wood Lathes Online

These extra large flat jaws from PSI are a great addition to a wood lathe chuck. They are compatible with any ‘C’ type chuck such as this PSI lathe chuck set. These jaws can fit pieces up to 8 inches in diameter, and are designed for bowl turning, but can also be put to use in many different types of project. Large jaws are essential if you want to do bowl turning, and are designed to hold your bowl while you finish the bottom.

PSI Jumbo Lathe Chuck Jaws

This chuck jaw includes 8 rubber pins that can be adjusted to four different distance setting to hold pieces of varying size. Reviews are generally very good, but I’ve seen the complaint that the pins are too hard and don’t have enough grip, however this shouldn’t be a problem if the jaws are properly adjusted and tightened. These jaws are available on amazon, click here to take a look.

Happy Turning

PSI Wood Lathe Chuck Set

In my opinion the strong points of this wood lathe chuck system are the following:

• Great value. You’re not going to find a better setup at this price.
• Well made. Good quality, not great, but more than adequate. The jaws hold well and the machining is good.
• Accessories, flat jaws, bowl turning jaws, etc. are very affordable

There was a problem with PSI shipping the wrong size allen wrench (3mm vs 5mm) with this set, but that has since been resolved and you should expect to receive the correct size. Other complaints are that it sometimes requires re-tightening while turning, but that is true of any wood lathe chuck and can’t really be avoided.

A good wood lathe chuck set is a very important piece of turning equipment. PSI is known made for making good tools at very good prices and this chuck set is an excellent example. This set will fit on mini, mid and full sized lathes, so even if you upgrade your lathe this kit will still work.   This wood lathe chuck set is capable of handling small or large projects. It comes with a big range of different sized jaws, but if you need something even bigger consider adding these jumbo flat jaws.
