The Infinite Axis Chuck works in harmony with another shop-made chuck based on “Build A Shopmade Chuck For Offset Turnings” by David Mueller. American Woodturner February 2015. I have adapted this chuck to have exchangeable work platforms that interchange with this Infinite Axis Chuck. The eccentric chuck article is available to read or download from

When using the Infinite Axis chuck, the turning axes are NOT parallel. In space, they may never meet. They almost meet the definition of a skew axis.

Turning went much easier with a couple more accessories:

• 2 screw chucks (3/8″) for direct mount of the work platform to the lathe spindle.
• Flat faced faceplate sized for target diameter also used to press double sided tape bonding.
• Live center with #2 Morse taper and 1 1/4 x 8 tpi.
• Spindle adapter 1″x8 tpi female to 1.25″x8tpi male to adapt the live center from 1″ to 1.25″
• Large adjustable pliers or Oil Filter wrench or spanner

Enjoy!
