Oneway Sure-Grip Steel Turning Tool Handle
Oneway's Sure-Grip steel tool handles are a step up form ordinary wooden turning tool handles. Based on a design by Canadian woodturner Michael Hosaluk, Sure-Grip handles use a heavy duty steel core for strength and rigidity. Each end of the handle has an aluminum fitting with two set screws for mounting your tool - one end holds 1/2" diameter tools, the other holds 5/8" diameter tools.
Sure-grip handles are heavy enough to dampen vibrations and add stability without being too heavy . In between the aluminum fittings, the handle has a tough plastic coating because you don't want the vibrations from turning to transmit directly to your hands. (It also helps keep the handle from feeling cold - even in a cold shop in winter.)
Need a longer handle? Sure-grip handles can be joined together for more leverage. (Just lock the end of a steel rod in one handle like you would a turning tool and lock the other end in a scond handle.) Need a bit more vibration dampening? One of our turners put a bolt in the back end of a sure grip handle and filled the hollow center with lead shot.
Sure-grip handles are great for use with Oneway's Mastercut Turning Tools , but they will fit and tools with round shafts.
Adapters
If you would like to use a Sure-Grip handles, but don't have a 1/2" or 3/4" diameter tool, Oneway offers adapters. Each adapter mounts into the 5/8" ech of the Sure-Grip handle. One adapter holds 3/8" diameter tools and the other holds 3/4".
Size
The large Sure-Grip handle is 17-1/2" long and weighs 2.5lbs. The short Sure-Grip handle is 12" long and weighs 1.75lbs. Both sizes work the same, but the aluminum fittings are slightly smaller on the short tool.
