SOS Chucky
(Scoop, Offset, Sphere)
Please Read!!
Originally Designed as a Coffee Scoop Chucky to make it easier to hollow out the cup portion of the scoop; through testing we found many more uses like hollowing and decorating Spheres and other items like small boxes etc.
I would like to thank my friend George Dinsmore for suggesting, working with and encouraging me during the four years of developing (many design iterations) this product. I would have given up without his support.
Thanks George ~ you are the best!
The SOS Chuckies mount just like the jaws on your Scroll Chuck.
Most common thread sizes are M6-1 but some are M5-0.8.
This set consists of four Chuckies.
BOTH sets of Screws and Lock Washers.
The screw lengths are 60 mm.
The SOS Chucky will fit any Scroll Chuck except the
EZ Wood Quick Change type chuck.
It can also be used with Cole Jaws

To install, simply remove the jaws from your Scroll Chuck.
Double check that you use the correct size thread Pan Head Machine Screw to fit your chuck threads. The Chuckies can be used with the larger diameter on the top or bottom. We suggest you start with it on the bottom.
Most Scroll Chucks have two threaded holes to attach the jaws ~ these Chuckies only require the use of one of these holes per each jaw. We suggest starting with the outboard hole for all four Chuckies.
This allows for the largest workpiece to fit between the Chuckies.
Loosely tighten each Chucky at first – adjust your scroll chuck to its largest and smallest size to see how the Chuckies are aligning up with each other and check if your workpiece will fit - then go back and securely tighten each Chucky.
It is your responsibility to use the proper screw to fit your chuck threads!!
If you find that a chuck takes a different size screw; they are available at most hardware stores.
When installing you can put either the larger or smaller diameter of the chucky on the bottom. Whatever works to accommodate your workpiece. You can install them in any configuration to suit your needs.
If you are using the SOS Chucky for “offset” turning then stagger one or more of the chuckies in the inboard or outboard hole. You may also need to stagger the larger or smaller diameter - by turning one or more over.
In other words, for “offset” turning install in whatever configuration works.
Ensure the Cuckies are securely tightened to the chuck ~ check this often!
The SOS Chuckies can also be used with Cole Jaws in whatever configuration suits your needs.
If you have a handle on your workpiece take care to ensure it doesn't hit your banjo or worse yet you!
Always check to ensure that the SOS Chucky and workpiece are securely held to your Scroll Chuck.
