These versatile jaw sets allow the woodturner to re-chuck bowls in order to remove a foot or recess formed when initially turning the object. Once reversed the turner is able to add decoration or to re-shape the bottom of the bowl. Using either of these jaws gives the opportunity to produce work with a smooth even curvature both inside and out. Standard Cole jaws are suitable for lathes with a minimum 300mm swing diameter. Mini Cole jaws are suitable for lathes with a minimum 200mm swing diameter. Cole jaws have many advantages over vacuum chucking to achieve the same end. It is possible to further extend their usefulness by adding customised wooden jaw segments.The standard Cole jaw has a maximum external grip 236mm and internal 280mm, whilst the Mini Cole will grip externally to a maximum of 170mm and internally 215mm.
