The big jaw profile provides a vibration free, solid grip for all sizes of pen blanks and an accurate centered hole every time. Being able to finely control the drill feed on the lathe is a big advantage to prevent break out on those delicate pen walls. Also perfect for squaring up the pen blank ends after gluing in the pen kit tubes.
- Solid, long design means the pen blank is gripped firmly without movement. Drill your pen blanks accurately and cleanly.
- Convenient for small run pen making. As all operations are based around the lathe, there’s no need for a drill press or pen vice.
- Fast and easy to use – can be set up on a lathe in a few minutes, rather than lining up vice in drill press.
- Control your drill feed to slow it down for fragile pen blank walls to prevent breakout.
- Plus factor – hold long square stock firmly and accurately for wider project use – beyond just pens
- Fits on all NOVA chucks, even the new NOVA Infinity (with optional Retro Fit Kit)
- Drilling on the lathe enables the turner to hold the Pen blank centrally, allowing for more accurate drilling and greater control of the process.
- A ‘V’ groove in each of the jaws ensures a more secure and firmer grip.
