Oneway Sure-Grip Steel Turning Tool Handle

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.
