Hi,
Just bought a Jet mini wood lathe with Axminster SK80 Chuck and type C dovetail jaws package.
I was wondering if it was possible/advisable to use the chuck WITHOUT the jaws. It seems like this might be convenient for certain situations (for very small tenons- turning bone for example; where the jaws might make things difficult/harder to access). I know there are other jaws for this purpose but i've already blown my budget!
Here is a link to the chuck and jaws i bought: http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-clubman-sk80-woodturning-chuck
If this is possible but not advisable, any tips for achieving the best possible grip would be much appreciated.
Thanks and Happy Christmas!
