Easywood Tools - Easy Chuck Measuring Tool

thingiverse

This tool makes cutting in your mortise or tenon on a lathe much easier and more accurate. The preset measurement is designed for an EasyWood Tools Easychuck, using the included 1 3/8 inch jaws (CJ125). This is still a work in progress and will be updated as I create measurements for some of their other jaws as well. Anyone who turns wood on a lathe knows how critical it is to have accurate cuts for mortise or tenon joints. If the cuts are too small or too large, there's a good chance you won't notice until a block of wood comes flying out at 3000 RPMs. This tool is not configured to measure the 10-degree dovetail required for a secure hold, so please make sure to cut this in after you measure the initial cut. Notice: Woodturning is a hazardous practice. This device is intended as a reference only and should be used according to your lathe and chuck manufacturers guidelines. Always use safe practices when operating, and remember that your safety is entirely your responsibility.
