without tailstock support. However the unique hexagonal balldrive/socket allows
multiple-turning between centres and at any angle between 0º and 20º of the lathe axis.

	Screwchuck The 25 x 10mm dia. parallel wood screw provides tremendous grip in either side or end grain. Requires simply an 8mm pilot hole.
	Hexagonal Ball & Socket Drive A unique system for driving between centres. The hexagonal ball & socket unit allows the workpiece to be angled within 20º of the lathe's axis. Ideal for Cabriole legs. The socket component is flanged and drilled for attaching to the work but can also be repositioned to index a variety of polygon sections. Allowing eccentric turning at one end of the work blending into concentricity at the other.
	Faceplate An alternative method of attaching the workpiece. Allowing the turner flexibility of approach. Ideal for larger work.
