Designed by famous French woodturner, Jean Francois Escoulen, the Vicmarc Escoulen Chuck represents the gold standard for off-center and eccentric turning.  This unique chuck is manufactured exclusively by Vicmarc. The Escoulen Chuck expands the possibilities for off center turning and its array of accessories provide a convenient means for exploring the limitless realms of eccentric turning.

The Escoulen chuck features an infinitely variable axis setting capacity.  With the range of 0 to 1  5/16 inches (0-30mm) each setting presents a different turning axis.  In addition,  the rotating cup chuck allows you to create an even wider variety of shapes, depending on the chosen axis.  














Adding the optional Faceplate/Ball set and optional Ball Swivel to the #3 chuck provides three axis capability for work pieces.  This option allows pieces to be swiveled up to 15° off the z-axis for even more flexible turning. 

The combination of several shapes on a single piece, without having to remove the work piece, enables the creative turner to make very personalized and highly creative originals.

Manufactured from K1045 (cold drawn, high temperature stress relieved medium tensile steel) gives all Vicmarc chucks high durability ensuring a long life even under heavy duty professional use.  The very high quality finish significantly reduces susceptibility to rust.  Vicmarc chucks have a large variety of accessories that provide almost limitless holding configurations.  All Vicmarc chucks are guaranteed for one year against any defects due to workmanship.
