You cut two of these and stack
there are extra wheels
and center inserts

Thanks for the share. I am sure it will come in very handy. Got any pictures of one set up and is there a preference of wood type?

[blhutchens]

I have only built the prototype and its kinda ugly.
gotta wait till i get back in the shop next week.

I used 1/2 mdf because its 1/2 thick
i prefer russian birch plywood as I usually have stacks of scrap from drawers just didn't have any at the moment.
This mpc could probably use a proofread

I will post a pic of the prototype

[blhutchens]

here are photos if they help
I use two inserts in the top disc, push one half way in then flip it apply some glue and push the second one in from the back.

Thanks! Like they say a picture is worth a bunch of words !

This is just a small version of a Longworth chuck for the lathe, a bowl makers tool. I just reworked it

I made one of those with the CW awhile back, I was going to try an incorporate it with the older Rotary jig

That is cool but it only works for stock that is round or regular. I have no problem finding the center of round stuff. When the stock is irregular, one needs circles to eye ball. I think I will try making something with circles out of acrylic. Just a simple, see through disc.
