Woodcraft Demo
JUNE 12, 2003 by Lee Buck
Tom and Mike from Downingtown Woodcraft
at 417 Boot Road in Downingtown PA delivered the Jet mini purchased by the club and demonstrated a selection
of chucks and the Beal buffing system.
The Nova Compaq chuck costs $85.00, is operated by tommy bars
and with adapter plates uses the many jaws made for the other Nova chucks.
The Super Naova is operated
with a key wrench and has many jaw sizes.
The Oneway Talon chuck is heavier and bigger than the Compaq,
is operated by a key wrench. It has three jaw sizes and uses different sized inserts for different spindles.
The Oneway Stronghold is a heavy chuck, operated with a key wrench. It also has three jaw sizes and
insets for various spindles.
The Beal buffing system is a series of cotton and flannel buffs, stitched
and unstitched, which can be mounted on a motor or a lathe. The arbor can be mounted on a morse taper
or held in a chuck. Each of the three buffs is designed for one of the buffing compounds, tripoli, white
diamond and carnuba wax. The work piece is held against the spinning wheel. Buffing wheels are available
in two sizes; also available are goblet buffs in two sizes.
Downingtown Woodcrafts phone number
