Made up of two thermoplastic disks, complete with nine tightening pins, this accessory allows to grip workpieces concentrically.

It is used to remove chuck marks, as well as to finish and polish workpieces.

Unloose the back of the knobs: in such a way the disks rotate and the clamping pins are able to grip the workpiece.

The rubber avoids to damage the wood. The shape of the standard pins (art. 4060) is suitable to grip bowls. When using this clamping plate, the speed limit allowed for the lathe is 500 RPM. Remember that this is a finishing clamping plate, therefore try to make light movements and do not remove too much material in one time.

Technical data:

Multi-pieces chuck with M 33x3.5 mm thread. Designed for simultaneous turning of 3 or 6 pieces of wood, for the creation of semicircular object from 2 to 6 sides.

 It is composed by a faceplate with M33x3,5 mm shank, where 3 or 6 aluminium cups with a 40 mm diameter are fixed in order to hold the workpieces, and a MT2 clamping plate for the tailstock where the respective tailstock points hold them up safely.

Designed in collaboration with Mr Manfred Gangl (Austria). 

The cups are characterised by 2 series of incisions of 4 or 6 divisions; this makes it possible to turn the pieces with great precision. The piece must be fixed to the cup with the use of a 4mm screw.

Included in the package:

178 mm diameter disk with M33x3,5 mm thread 12 cups diameter 40 mm complete with screws Tailstock faceplate MT2 complete with 6 points.

Example of assembly and use

The clamping plate for multi-pieces working has been created with the aim of producing more pieces at the same time and can also be used together with a copying attachment. For the production of a series of teaspoons, first we turned each piece singularly for turning down square timber to round one and creating a sphere on the bottom. After that, we finished the workpieces simultaneously in four phases by using a copying attachment to obtain the handles. Finally, we empty the spheres to obtain the buckets.
