Tool Review: The Easy Chuck by Easy Wood Tools
By Curtis Turner
Round Rock, TX
It takes a real innovator to improve upon something that has become widely accepted as a standard. Easy Wood Tools has done that with their latest product, the Easy Chuck. The manufacturer promises several unique claims and features, including the Snap Lock Technology, which promises 30 second jaw changes.
Let's see if the Easy Chuck lives up to the claims:

Mirka Sanding Blocks and Half-Round Pads
These hand sanding devices by Mirka are ideal for turners to use while spinning a workpiece on a lathe. Three styles of sanding blocks each fit comfortably in the palm, while the half-round-shaped sanding pads provide a sturdy but flexible foam backing structure for holding 5" or 6" hook and loop sandpaper disks and are especially convenient when sanding contoured surfaces.

Abranet Mesh Sanding Disks now available in 2" and 3" sizes
We now offer Mirka's premium Abranet sandpaper in 2" and 3" diameter size disks (in addition to 5" and 6" which we already carried), making it an excellent abrasive for turners to use when finishing bowls and other turnings. If used on a sander with a vacuum port, the unique mesh structure of Abranet paper helps make dust collection while sanding more efficient than ever.
