Riser Rings

By RMWoodco

 Great for Plates Platters & Bowls With sharp edged rims.

The Longworth Chuck is a wonderful device. Our customers love its ease of use, speed of setup and its gentle non-marking grip on their beautiful vessels. They asked for a way to also use their Longworth Chuck when working with knife edged plates or bowls that flared out to a sharp edge. The steel washers at the base of the soft silicone buttons sometimes interfered with the sharp edge on the vessel.

Riser Rings™ provide a perfect solution to a multitude of situations and are extremely simple to use.

Use Riser Rings™ when turning a thin plate or platter

Use Riser Rings™ when turning a bell shaped vessel with a sharp upper rim

Use Riser Rings™ when turning a thin segmented ring. You can even stack two rings for more rise.

Use Riser Rings™ when you want to raise the vessel above the Longworth Chuck disk for any reason.

Use Riser Rings™ when your vessel is so uneven that it needs extra support.

Riser Rings™ slip easily over the buttons of your Longworth Chuck and remove just as easily without having to unscrew any nuts or bolts.

Riser Rings™ are made from the highest quality HDPE, high density polyethylene. They also won’t mar your valuable vessel. HDPE is very slippery and non-sticking by nature so finishes won’t stick to the Riser Rings™ and washes off easily. HDPE is not affected by most solvents and so may be cleaned as needed should you get finish on them.

Riser Rings™ are available in sets of 8 rings, Part # RR8, for $14.95 plus $2.00 shipping (USA and Canada Only), or sets of 16, Part # RR16, for $27.95 plus $2.00 shipping (USA and Canada Only - International Orders $5.00 Flat Rate Shipping).  Order the 16 ring set if you plan to stack two rings for extra height or if you turn segmented rings. If you own a 20” or a 24” Longworth Chuck, you may consider ordering two 16 piece sets.

Segmented turners can easily true up mating surfaces without interference	Stacking two Riser Rings gives more clearance	Without Riser Rings one layer of a typical 3/4" segmented ring is too thin to work properly
