I have a excelsior mini lathe and would like to start turning bowels what do I need to do to accomplish this?
BEST ANSWER: Larry,
I began turning bowls with a chuck and spindle tools. I strongly recommend looking into bowl gouges. The bowl gouge makes a great deal of difference. I bought a 3/8 fingernail to start with and added a 1/2 inch regular grind.
There are many good on-line videos to help with developing proper technique as well. I strongly suggest you view a few and learn from the masters.
Another addition was a guide for grinding the gouges. I thought that using a stone was sufficient, but I learned that some woods dull the edge quickly and using the grinder is necessary to return the edge. Again, there are you-tube demonstrations out there that are very helpful.
I have been turning ash because the emerald ash borer was active in my yard and left me with six dead trees. I have only begun and already turned 12 bowls. They can be done reasonably quickly, but pay attention to your knuckles and the bowl edges.
Happy "bowling"

Will this chuck fit the Excelsior mini lathe?
BEST ANSWER: Richard will need to purchase the Oneway Taper-Lock Adaptor 1" - 8 TPI P/N 0227 to insert installed as instructed. The adaptor allows the user to thread the chuck onto the lathe spindle. I am using one on my Jet 1220.

I have a powermatic model 45 will this chuck work for my lathe?
BEST ANSWER: Oneway makes spindle adapters for their chucks. They include a 1"x8TPI, 1 1/4"x8TPI, and also for the Oneway spindle thread. You need to purchase the correct adapter when you buy the chuck.

What is the difference between the "Talon" chuck, and the "Scroll" chuck? I am waiting for my Excelsior mini lathe to arrive, and was wondering if this chuck would fit on it, as it is, or would I have to buy an adapter, as well as a # 1 chuck jaws, to do small pieces? I am on a very limited budget, and after looking at the prices of some of the very basic turning kits, and even the single pieces, I am a little hesitant to purchase this, if I am going to have buy add on items, just to be able to turn small items. They want your first male child, for a single turning tool! It is going to be a long time before, I can afford any decent collection of tools. So if I have to buy adapters for this chuck, I think I will pass, till I can save up enough to get a complete chuck. Thank you.
BEST ANSWER: I would say a scroll chuck comes with 2-5 jaws that hold circular and small square items best.
A talon chuck holds larger prepared tenons made on bowl blanks and round spindle stock, to enable holding smaller stock you would need to but another set of jaws to step down to smaller stock.
I have a MIDi lathe and do pens and also bowls so I have gone to two chucks so I wasn't always changing.
of course pens don't need a chuck , but just an arbor. hope I helped

With this jaw as it comes, can I do small turnings, like pens, and turning, and drilling dowels? I want to make some of the little fish hook, and sinker, swivel, etc. little wooden containers, that I used to get when I was kid, and when you bought little fish hooks, and the other items, they came in a little round wooden container, about two inches, long, or so, and had a wooden fitted cap. It was basically, a drilled, and turned dowel. I would like to make some of these, and also make some a bit longer, to keep jewelers saw blades in. I have cigar tubes for that now, but I like the nostalgic look, of a time gone by. I have other uses for these wooden tubes, with caps also, for carving blades, mandrels and smaller ones for tooth picks, to put in your pocket, etc. And I would like to make some of larger diameter, and length, to put custom made carving knives in. Thank you.
BEST ANSWER: The chuck comes with the #2 jaws, which have an external chucking capacity or 1 5/8" to 2 7/8". So if you're drilling a dowel less than 1 5/8", you will not be happy. You're probably going to also want the #1 jaws for some of the smaller work you're describing. They have an external capacity of 3/8" to 1 3/4" max, which would probably be best for the smaller work. I have a Talon chuck which I use for small Jewelry boxes as well as for bowls I turn up to 12" in diameter. Its a nice piece of equipment. I also purchased the jumbo jaws which are great for my bowl turning. I am very happy with my Talon chuck.

I am a One Way tool fan
I only have one way chucks, and jaws. I bought some jaws for working smaller pieces, at a Wood Craft store, and they were either returns, or some sticky fingers got into the box, as when I got home, I found that some of the screws were missing! I was able to use the screws from a set of other jaws to be able to use these jaws. I contacted Wood Craft, and told them what happened, and they told me to bring it back, and they would see if they could replace the screws. Well I did, and they did not have any. A three hour drive each way for me. I went on this site, and was told to contact One Way. I did, and told the customer service lady, what had happened, and asked how much the screws would cost. She said not to worry about it, and asked for my address, said she would just send me some. They arrived in about four days. I am a One Way fan! Not only do they make a very high qualty product, they have a great customer service dept. A happy customer, is a repeat customer! (that's me)

high quality tool
For the price I believe you will find no higher quality tool. You must, however have an adapter to make it fit your particular lathe.

Oneway Talon Chuck
This is a well made, rugged chuck. Easy to use and well worth the money. It has many available accessories. I liked mine so much I bought another for use with a set of Jumbo Jaws which I leave set up and ready to go. I do recommend this chuck for any wood turner, beginner or old timer.

The Oneway Talon is a great little chuck that acts like it's big brother, the Stronghold. I have 14 or 15 Talons. I like to have 4 for each of my mall lathes. I really hate to change jaws. The fit and finish on this chucks superior.

I'm in love. I've had a...
I'm in love. I've had a 3-tier candy dish project on the back burner for months now because finishing it with my old setup was to difficult. I purchased the One Way Talon chuck a week ago and finished the project in less then two days. And all becasue of the One Way Talon chuck. With a simple adapter, i finished the platters then installed a square spindle and turned it down. Although i've only done one project with the incredible One Way Talon chuck, I'm looking for more! My lathe has sat rarely used in the corner of my shop. Now it'll see lots of use.
