03J7782 - Rikon Jaw Set for Large Bowls
We're often asked which jaws we recommend for various turning applications. For those who primarily turn large bowls (10" to 15"), we've selected three Rikon jaws that provide options for holding large work throughout the turning process, from roughing out blanks to finishing. The selection includes 70mm standard jaws, 3" Power Grip jaws and 4" dovetail jaws, offered at a saving compared to purchasing them separately at our regular prices.
The 70 mm step jaws (71-206) are suitable for turnings that require more capacity than 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. Minimum contracting and expanding diameters are approximately 2 1/4" and 2 3/4" respectively.
The 3" Power Grip jaws (71-207) are intended for rough-turning large, heavy bowl blanks, particularly those of green wood where the weight demands a strong contraction grip. The dovetailed section at the front of the jaws helps register the work securely, and the deep serrated inner faces contract around a tenon to provide more contact area and holding strength than typical jaws. The outer surface also has a dovetail profile to hold work in expansion. Minimum contracting and expanding diameters are approximately 3" and 3 7/8".
The 4" dovetail jaws (71-214) are a good choice for finish-turning substantial bowls and platters after they have been roughed out and dried. They can close around a broad external tenon or expand inside a dovetailed recess. Their approximately 4" gripping diameter, broad contact area and dovetail profile make them suitable for work ranging from 12" to 16", providing a firm hold in either contraction or expansion. Minimum contracting and expanding diameters are approximately 3 1/8" and 3 7/8".
All are made of machined and polished steel. Mounting screws not included.
Also compatible with standard Nova chucks, except Nova Quick Change models. Covered by a 10-year warranty.
