I suppose I'm going to be a little biased on this , but buying a chuck pretty much forced me develope the chuck plate.. Since then, I don't know how anyone, especially me, can turn anything without using it first to turn a tenon...... Jerry (in Tucson)

Jerry, what is a chuck plate? I must have missed that one.

I'm with Kyle on the lathes...have the same thing and there is no reason to trade out or up. After that it's a choice between the Tormek and the bandsaw.

Accessory? It would have to be my SuperNova Chucks. After that the wolverine jigs for sharpening, then my monster hollowing rig, then my Nicols steady rest, then my CBN wheel from D-Way, then a steb center and a cone live center, then my vacuum chuck..........that is the descending order of priority in what was most important.............since gouges, etc are not counted in this.
of course, the safety things like air cleaner and Trend Airshield pro are key...........I consider those my health protection and not necessarily turning accessories,though they are used in turning sessions as well. I have not had enough time to use my rubber chucky reverse chucky thingy to be able to evaluate its value, but I think it will end up being an important accessory in my arsenal.

Hmmm, well noted! Will have to look into all of those.
The question wasn't intended as what's important. It's just that as I was sharpening on my cbn yesterday I thought, "gosh, this is best darn thing I spent my $$ on recently." I know it's not the most important accessory, but I just LOVE it. I was just curious what other things people just love.

I'm going to have to go with my Airshield Pro. Makes it possible to turn without coughing the next day.

Central dust collection (ClearVue Cyclone System) because I wouldn't even go in the shop if I didn't have that.

Rolly Munro Articulated Mini Hollower (with an extra link).
Best of the FABULOUS Munro hollowers. This tool made hollowing easier and more controlled for me. Bit of a learning curve, but well worth the time I invested.

The only reason I didn't include mine is that it hangs on the back door of the house on the way to the shop...I don't have a choice! But I like your entry Scott!!Originally Posted by Scott Lux
