<p>Woodcut Tools is a small family owned business with over 30 years experience. Designed by turners, for turners. Made in New Zealand. The Pro-Mount Carving Stand comes complete with a Pro-Mount Bench Stand for securing it to your work stand or bench.</p> <p>This sturdy and versatile carving stand has two independent locking levers. The outer lever controls horizontal rotation, allowing you to turn the work through a full 360°. The inner handle controls vertical rotation through 360°. There is a great advantage in being able to adjust the work in one plane at a time. With the handles tightened, the workpiece will not move and carving or decorating can commence.</p> <p>This is far more than a carving stand. The spindle has an M33 x 3.5mm thread, the same thread as the Jet, Powermatic and many other lathes. This gives the option of mounting a woodturning chuck with the same thread onto the Pro-Mount. Turners can screw a freshly turned bowl directly onto the Pro-Mount for embellishment and decoration while the bowl is held in the jaws of the chuck. The Pro-Mount spindle has a hole through the centre and a 1/4" BSP thread at its base for an airline fitting. This gives the option of using a vacuum chuck as a means of workholding.</p> <p>The bench stand post doubles as a 1" tool post with a 1/2 inch UNF, which offers the choice of mounting your Pro-Mount on your lathe’s banjo. Each lathe requires a different diameter tool post so if you require a different size tool post you will need to purchase this separately.   Please contact us should you require assistance with this. .</p>
