The Axminster Woodturning SK88 Faceplate Ring is compatible with the SK88 Essential Chuck and Dovetail jaws. This faceplate ring has an internal chamfer which matches the dovetail on the SK88 Dovetail Jaws (109816).
A faceplate ring enables you to easily mount bowl blanks, platters and the like to ensure a firm grip of your blank whilst you turn. It attaches to the timber with woodscrews, placed over the jaws on the chuck and the jaws opened up inside the ring to grip it firmly in place. Using a faceplate ring means that the chuck does not have to be removed from the lathe when faceplate turning.
Made entirely in our manufacturing facility in Axminster, UK.
As the Essential SK88 Chuck and Jaws are made from EN1A steel, instead of stainless steel like our Clubman and Evolution premium chuck offerings, we recommend spraying it lightly with a dry lubricant on a regular basis to prevent tarnishing. You should do this more frequently if you are working in a damp workshop or turning wet timber.
