03J7781 - Rikon Jaw Set for Small & Mid-Size Bowls
We're often asked which jaws we recommend for various turning applications. For those who primarily turn small bowls (4" to 6") and mid-size bowls (6" to 10"), we've selected three Rikon jaws that provide options for holding work throughout the turning process, including reverse chucking to finish the underside. The selection includes 35mm standard jaws, 53mm step jaws, and 10" Cole jaws, offered at a saving compared to purchasing them separately at our regular prices.
The 35mm steel standard jaws (71-210) are a good choice for smaller bowls and other projects below the practical range of Rikon’s general-purpose 2" standard jaws. They have dovetailed outer faces that can expand into a matching recess, and a flat inner bore that can be used to contract around work supported by the tailstock.
The 53mm steel step jaws (71-205) have an inner bore with three dovetailed steps to accommodate a range of mounting diameters (approximately 1.65", 2" and 2.5") when gripping the feet of bowls and platters in contraction. The dovetailed outer faces can also expand into a recess, with a minimum expanding diameter of just under 3 1/2".
The 10" cast-aluminum Cole jaws (71-218) are used for reverse chucking bowls to provide access to the bottom of a turning for removing chuck marks, refining the foot, sanding or applying finish. They come with eight stops made of a tough, resilient polymer, which can grip either the outside or inside of the bowl rim and mount in a pattern of threaded holes so you can position them as needed to accommodate the work. Suitable for bowls up to approximately 10" in diameter to a maximum of 600 rpm, they are intended for light finishing cuts rather than heavy stock removal, as the compressible stops provide less purchase on smooth, hard woods or synthetics than standard steel jaws.
Chuck-mounting screws not included.
Also compatible with standard Nova chucks, except Nova Quick Change models. Covered by a 10-year warranty.
