Using a Wood Worm Screw for Woodturning

I demonstrate Using a Wood worm Screw for Woodturning to safely hold projects on your wood lathe. This is a fast and easy way to hold smaller pieces on a wood lathe often overlooked or ignored by wood turners.

If you buy anything, I’ll receive a small commission.

A key point of the video was explaining how the flat sides of the screw go towards the jaw slides. I didn't know this when I first used one and the blank spun loose. While it didn't fly off, that important bit of information may very well save someone from having an accident. Thanks for all the great videos.

I've watched many of your videos, but this one has made me a subscriber. Great explanation. Thank you.

I just saw that woodworm screw in my lathe stuff this morning……I think I’ll put it to use! Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed video! I am a long time woodworker(1970), but a newby to turning. I always appreciate someone who's been around a craft a long time cuz they know what's bogus and whats not! Just a word about drilling; the diameter of the screw inside the threads is right. The threads cut into the wood, but don't press the hole outward, causing a split. There! Ive exhausted my know how in turning wood! Keep up the good work!

Great video - thanks! I've never been exactly sure how the screw sat inside the chuck. Makes a LOT more sense now.

Mike great video! I just bought a lathe yesterday for bowls and pens. Just subscribed to your channel, thanks for sharing video!!

Great info for us beginners. Thank you

Great Video again, Mike. I had purchased a screw chuck before I got a scroll chuck with a wood screw. Doing things bassackwards seems to be my standard M.O. 🥴

Hello Mike. another great video... thanks!.

[arturoverde]

Thanks Mike just rough turned large piece of Jacaranda, green wood, and found that using a backing washer gave a greater stability when using woodworm screw, regards and stay safe.

Nice video Mike. Very thorough explanation and the best I have seen on this subject. Excellent tips for all turners. The prep work your putting into your videos is really paying off. Great job and thanks!

[jettkeyser]

Very clear and helpful...for a new turner like myself...

[paulschmolke]

Thanks for some good tips, I’m sure it’ll be helpful.

[joescarborough]

Don't know why more folks don't use them (when applicable of course). Also gives a known center for continuing the vessel depth guide. Use mine whenever I can. Great tip as usual, Mike.
