Product Description
Coming December 2023
New from Planet A British made Chuck Mandrel for turning wooden or composite rings complete with 3 sets of bushings for the most common range of ring sizes. Available in the three most common thread sizes M33x3.5mm, 3/4x16tpi or 1x8tpi.
The Ring Turning Chuck provides precision and convenience when turning ring cores helping you to achieve a perfect high quality finish on your rings. The chuck can also be used with other small projects.
The chuck is screwed directly onto your lathe spindle. It can be removed using a knockout bar (in the hole), or a spanner.
When you look at the tool in detail, you'll see that it's precision machined from solid steel and threaded to fit directly onto your lathes spindle, the single piece design with 60 degree dimple on the end of the shaft for tailstock support guarantees perfect concentricity every time.
Benefits of a chuck over expanding mandrels
- The artisan ring turning chuck, being attached directly to the spindle of the lathe, prevents concentricity issues that might occur when expanding ring mandrels are inserted into a chuck (prevents "wobble").
- Only one chuck is required rather than at least two expanding ring mandrels giving great value for money.
- No moving parts, providing the chuck with a longer lifespan than mandrels or step chucks.
Ring Turning Bushing size
Long-lasting machined aluminum ring bushings are included in small, medium and large sizes. The ring making bushings allow you to turn a full range of ring sizes from 4-16 (USA) including half sizes.
With the Ring Turning Chuck, changing bushings and mounting ring cores is as easy as removing the brass tightening nut, swapping out bushings and replacing the nut. This will be the most used ring making tool in your work-shop.

Finishing
When applying a finish such as CA glue to the ring, we recommend that you cover the bushings with a suitable protective tape. You'll get first class work and the bushings will have a longer lifespan.
