See the pictures below for approximate sizes of the Jumbo Chuckies. They are all approximately 7 3/4" at the base but vary in height according to style. All of them have a tenon and inserted nut for the various mountings shown above.
Please Note: Due to limited clearance between the tool rest base and the Jumbo Chucky we do not recommend using a Jumbo Chucky on a Mini Lathe.

The Convertible Jumbo Chucky can be used with or without the tapered nose for any of the above - giving you the best of both worlds. This Chucky includes a removable arbor that threads into both parts of the Jumbo Chucky.
It is highly recommended when using a Chucky Arbor with your Jumbo Chucky that you use a Drawbar. All of our Arbors have a 1/4-20 thread in the taper end. This is to accommodate a 1/4-20 All-Thread Rod (available at most hardware stores). Cut it to length and thread it in the Chucky Arbor - put it through your headstock and attach a washer and Wing Nut. We HIGHLY recommend using a drawbar when using ANY Jumbo Chucky. The three Drawbar Pictures below are for reference only.

Step 1 Getting set up to glue Ring #2 to the Base Ring #1.
The Jumbo Chucky was a bit too big to fit inside Ring #2 so I used a No Nose Chucky.
I used the Jumbo Chucky for all other construction steps.
Step 2 Used the No Nose Chucky to center glue Ring #2 into the Base Ring #1. Perfectly centered. Medium pressure. Wait for 5 minutes for the glue to set up.
Step 3 Changed to the Jumbo Chuck without its nose. Used a pressure board between Ring #2 and the Jumbo Chucky. High pressure. Wait 30 minutes for glue to dry.
Step 4 Used the Jumbo Chucky to center glue Ring #3 to Ring #2. Ring #2 and Ring #3 segments rotated 1/2 segment apart. Perfectly centered. Medium pressure. Wait 5 minutes for glue to set up.

Step 19 Used the Jumbo Chucky to center glue Ring #9 to Ring #8. Ring segments rotated 1/2 segment apart. Perfectly centered. Medium pressure. Wait 5 minutes for glue to set up. This is the last chance to easily get to the bowl interior, so I turned the remaining bowl outside for contour and turned the inside for wall thickness.

Step 26 Used a pressure board between Ring #12 and the Jumbo Chucky. High pressure. This is the last ring. Wait overnight for glue to dry. Turn it the rest of the way tomorrow.
Step 27 Used an Original Rubber Chucky to stabilize the end of the bowl while I parted it off the faceplate.
Note: The Jumbo Convertible Chucky could also be used for this step.
Step 28 Parted the base to a 3/8" tenon. The Chucky made this a very safe and
stable operation.
