ONEWAY chucks have been designed by a machinist with engineering input from material, heat treating, and plating specialists in order to satisfy the woodturner's every need. Chucks were designed to meet most turning needs. Less time spent getting ready to turn and more time spent turning means better quality, and more finished projects. Large projects can be turned more safely, and turning can be done at the ends of long stock.
There are four lever holes in the body, and three holes in the scroll. This design creates a constant differential which allows one-handed tightening. Levers are made from high strength steel and will not deform or bend in use. This prevents damage to holes in the chuck.
Different jaw sets are available for the chuck, which allows you to fit the chuck to suit your specific needs. If your needs change or grow, these chucks can be adapted to change and grow as you do.
The chuck weighs approximately 4.5 lbs.

| internal chucking | 1-7/8" | 2-1/2" |
| #3 Jaws -These Jaws have the mass and size so necessary for those turners producing large bowls and vases. They are unparalleled in strength and holding capacity. Notice that the #3 jaws have also been outfitted with our patented profiled jaw design. |
| Min | Max |

| internal chucking | 4-1/2" | 5-1/4" |
| Mini Jumbo Jaws -Now available are jumbo jaws in a mini size of 8 1/2" diameter. Because of their small diameter, they can be used on various smaller sized lathes. |
| Min | Max |
| external chucking | 2-7/8" | 4-7/8" |
| internal chucking | 8-1/2" | 9-1/2" |
Jumbo Jaws -These jaws are aluminum plates, machined from the solid for higher strength which measure 11" in diameter. Their unique combination of slots and tapped holes for mounting the rubber grippers allows holding an infinite number of round, oval or square shapes. Buttons are hard rubber pressed over a tapered steel sleeve for superior holding.3 These jaws can be used for light finishing on the backs of bowls as well as for external chucking on platters and picture frames. By using an extra button set, it is possible to stack buttons which further accommodates odd shapes. Wooden false jaws may be mounted and turned for those requiring the utmost in precision finishing or for extremely large or critical applications. |
