Specifications

The entire jig is made out of hardened steel to provide the strongest tool.

The jig is held to your lathe by a clamp that is made to fit between the ways of your lathe. This clamp is a critical component of the jig as it self centers the jig under the work piece.

The jig is constructed with an substantial outer post which mounts to the above clamp. Then there is an inner post which moves up and down in the outer post. This movement allows you to set the jig to the center height of your lathe. Once it is at the right height, you tighten a set screw on the outer post thereby locking the post in place.

The cutter holder is mounted on a horizontal swing arm. The swing arm attaches the the inner post with a oil impegnated bronze sleeve bearing. The cutter holder supports a 3/8" square shaft. There is a knob at the top of this holder which locks the cutter into place.
