Patriot Chuck Accessories

Patriot Drive Center

Drive Centre. A simple but highly effective four-prong drive which fits directly into the jaws of the Patriot chuck.

Patriot 7/8" Steb Drive

This revolutionary wood lathe drive is an essential addition to every turner's toolkit. Their design incorporates not just a spring loaded point in stainless steel but also a set of razor sharp teeth which bite into the workpiece. For the novice turner this offers added security. By winding in the tail stock the degree of bite can be varied and the centre point firmly located. In the unfortunate case of a dig-in arising the workpiece simply stops revolving rather than kick back the turning chisel. This allows the beginner to use his skew chisel with a degree of confidence. The degree of bite which the Stebcentre creates allows for much more demanding than would normally be expected from a conventional drive. There is the added benefit for the production turner of allowing the workpiece to be removed without the need to stop and re-start the lathe. Simply wind back the tail stock and the piece can be withdrawn safely.

Patriot Zero Jaws

These innovative jaws allow the turning of extremely fine, detailed pieces like lace bobbins as they close right down. The unique dome shape enables the turner to work close to his project. At the same time the dome can be used for internal gripping of larger projects without the fear of marking.

Patriot Pen Jaws

Robert Sorby's new Pen Jaws have been designed to allow for easier and more controlled drilling of pen shafts. A 'V' groove in each of the two jaws ensures a more secure and firmer grip, whilst drilling on the lathe enables the turner to hold the pen blank centrally, allowing for more accurate drilling and a greater control of the process.

To assemble, the two jaws are quickly and easily mounted onto the chuck face with two clamping screws – designed to take heavy usage.

To operate, simply mount a drill chuck into the tail stock of your lathe and slide up the drill bit to the pen blank mounted in the pen jaws. Lock down the tail stock and wind and drill out the hole to take the brass tube. Being mounted on a lathe the turner has more control over motor speed and a much better control of the feed speed.

Patriot Wobble Chuck

The Wobble Chuck is an inexpensive introduction to off-centre or eccentric turning, the Wobble Chuck fits in the standard 2" jaws of the Patriot chuck in the same manner as a faceplate ring. The workpiece can be held by three screws - like a faceplate - or by a single wood screw - like a screw chuck - or by both means. It is then off-set by rotating the upper section of the Wobble Chuck. Ideal for goblets with off-set stems. A great opportunity to experiment with novel projects.
