A chuck (1) for angular offset woodturning including a first member (2) adapted to be secured to a lathe, and a second member (3) adapted to support a work piece and secured to the first member in such that the second member is oriented with respect to the first member between at least two configurations. The first member having a first axis (4) coaxial with an axis of rotation of the lathe and the second member having a second axis (5), and in one of the configurations the second axis is coaxial with the first axis, and in the other configuration the second axis is angularly offset. The chuck further includes a releasable fastening member (12) incorporating alignment members allowing the second member to be secured in one of the two configurations and that in the other configuration the second axis lies relative to said first axis at one of a number of predetermined angular offsets.
A chuck for angular offset woodturning, said chuck comprising a first member adapted to be removably secured to a headstock spindle of a lathe, and a second member adapted to support a workpiece and removably secured to said first member in such a manner that said second member may be oriented with respect to said first member between at least two configurations, said first member having a first longitudinal axis substantially coaxial with an axis of rotation of said spindle and said second member having a second longitudinal axis, and in one of said configurations said second longitudinal axis is substantially coaxial with said first longitudinal axis, and in the or each other configuration said second longitudinal axis is angularly offset to said first longitudinal axis, and wherein said chuck further comprises a releasable fastening member incorporating alignment members allowing said second member to be repeatedly secured in any of said at least two configurations and that in said other configurations said second axis lies relative to said first axis at one of a limited number of predetermined angular offsets.
