The new SC1 and SC2 are the latest additions to Record Power’s premium-quality range of woodworking chucks and jaws. They have been developed in response to the needs of professional and enthusiast woodturners who require a high quality, accurate and dependable mini chuck for use with small- to medium-sized work.

These chucks are made to the same high standards as the SC3 and SC4, on modern three-axis CNC machinery to exacting tolerances. The jaw carriers are manufactured using a metal injection moulding process, giving high tensile strength to these critical components, ensuring they retain their strength and holding power even when operating at the extremes of the chucks’ capabilities. The scroll rings and pinions are made using an investment casting process to ensure high tolerances while delivering repeatable accuracy.

The SC1 works in conjunction with a separately available insert, with the option of 21 different thread sizes to choose from. This means it can be used across a wide variety of lathes with different thread sizes, by simply changing the insert. It also makes a perfect partner to the SC4 chuck, as the inserts are a universal fit between both models. It also has a very compact 53.5mm (2in) diameter body and a total length of 57mm (21⁄2in), including the insert. This gives easier access around the workpiece, making it ideal for the turning of very small items.
The SC2 is a direct-thread chuck and features a larger diameter body than the SC1, at 63.5mm (21⁄2in), offering larger holding capacities than the SC1. With a depth of 48mm (17⁄8in), due to the lack of an insert, it is slightly shorter than the SC1.

Both chucks are supplied complete with a wood screw, 40mm standard dovetail jaws, chuck key and jaw fixings. A range of jaws is available, which are compatible with both the SC1 and SC2. These have been developed in consultation with expert woodturners, offering maximum flexibility to deal with the majority of applications that are needed from a mini chuck.
