Save $34.94 with this Woodturners Bundle!
Includes:
- Threaded, reusable, aluminum glue hub with hardwood waste block
- 7" diameter x 3" thick kiln dried Maple round bowl blank
- Wrench for loosening hub from lathe spindle
- Once you've completed your turning, the glue hub and waste block can be reused for other projects!
- Wood sizes are approximate. 1/4" +/- is considered acceptable.
Glue Hub Features:
- SIMPLE: Turn both inside, outside and bottom without removing and reversing project
- EXTRA SPACE: creates more room for shaping bottom or foot as it is smaller than a 4-jaw chuck and moves project away from the headstock
- SAVES WOOD: No need to lose wood on a tenon. Consume the waste block when parting your project off
- LONG LIFE: Add more fine-grained hardwood to extend waste block
- REUSABLE: Aluminum won’t crack or break over time
- REMOVEABLE: Remove project from lathe multiple times without losing center alignment.
- CONVENIENT: No screws or jaws. Thread hub onto lathe, glue your wood project directly to the waste block, use your tailstock to hold, and start turning once the glue dries.
- THREADED: Threads directly onto your lathe spindle, or can be reversed and held in tail stock.
- HOLDS SECURELY: Waste block features ½” deep milled pocket that the glue hub is glued into resulting in a more secure hold than a butt joint. No more coming loose from chuck jaws.
- LIGHTWEIGHT: Weighs 16 oz (with waste block) vs 4-jaw chucks that weigh 4+ lbs
- WORKS WITH RESIN: Without the waste block this can be glued or molded directly into a resin project.
- We always recommend using tailstock support as much as possible when turning. This can be done with a live tailstock chuck and a center point.
Glue Hub Details:
- CNC machined from 6061 aluminum
- 1.90" outside diameter
- 3.5" Overall Length
- Choose from either 1" - 8 TPI threads or 1.25" - 8 TPI
Hardwood Waste Block:
- Arrives pre-glued to hub using clear Gorilla glue.
- Routered from kiln dried hard maple.
- 2.5" diameter x 1.5" long
- Milled pocket is 0.50" deep, so your glue hub sits inside the waste block 0.50".
- Once your original waste block becomes 1" long, we suggest that you add additional fine-grained hardwood, such as hard maple, to the waste block. This will allow you to separate your project without consuming the original waste block.
