Re: Jaws For Holding Briar in Your Chuck!

Steve, yeah they sure do. The only problem is my hands are still pretty dumb. So I chucked it up pretty deep. I will definitely be adjusting my depth on the next block. I think they are great. Hope you are well.

Re: fitting a delrin tenon?

There is also the question wether the table is square to the bit. It could be out of square just a smidge. If you rotate the stem 180 does the gap move, increase, decrease?

Re: Jaws For Holding Briar in Your Chuck!

Jeremy, smokingdawg is the maker of these jaws. I'm pretty sure he posted his email earlier in this thread. If not you could PM him with your chuck type. Price is great.
