| Details for Wood collet chuck Plans
 Free Wood collet chuck plans - An earlier article in More Woodturning on turning wine stoppers got me thinking about collet chucks. I wondered if I could make one entirely out of wood. I thought this would be just an exercise to see if I could do it, but it surprised me with its usefulness. Although the All Wood Collet Chuck doesn't have the holding power and range of wooden jaws mounted in a scroll chuck, it does have adequate power for turning tops, wine stoppers, and the odd bit of dowel. The All Wood Collet Chuck also has the advantage of being much faster to mount on the lathe and to convert to different sizes. Another advantage is that it's virtually free.
