Holds well, but black rubber can leave marks on lighter wood
»
These jaws are built solid and are useful when cleaning up the foot of a bowl. Be careful when turning a bowl's foot to make sure you do not knock the item out since it it only gripped by the rubber feet. I have had the feet slip, causing black marks to be left on light wood.

Works like it's supposed to at a reasonable price!

Bought this set of jaws to use with my Baracuda II chuck for turning the bottoms of bowls. So far it works fine. I also apply a few pieces of masking tape for a little extra safety in holding the bowl. I can't see how a more expensive set of jaws would do the job any better.

Well made tool

This part is extremely well made and comes with 2 sets of clamping bolts. It will definitely last a lifetime. The packing was not all that impressive; this part was covered with congealed oil intended to protect against rust but has the effect of making the new owner spend considerable time cleaning it prior to first use.

FINALLY A GREAT PRODUCT
»
IT WORKS GREAT. HOLDS THE BOWL NICELY AND MAKES IT A PLEASURE TO DO THE BOTTOM. SOMEWHAT OF A PAIN TO PUT IT ON AND TAKE IT OFF. IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT AND TURN A LOT OF BOWLS, GET AN EXTRA CHUCK AND KEEP IT ON ALL THE TIME.

Works like a charm

I had always wanted to make some wooden bowls on my Jet Mini-lathe, so when these jaws arrived, I couldn't wait! They worked so well that I am finishing the bowl bottoms like a Pro! Recent thunderstorms have provided a wealth of 'good turning' wood from local trees, so I expect to use these jaws quite a lot! The eight inch maximum opening works well with the ten inch limitation of my lathe.
