Oval turning is an old turning art, which has been practiced in Europe since the 16th century, in
order to produce oval articles. There is only one specialist requirement for oval turning, and that is the Oval Chuck. We purchased a modern model oval chuck made by Vicmarc in Australia, there are very few of these chucks in use in North America. The next couple of pictures are the inner workings of this extremely well-made device. This model of oval chuck was developed by Johannes Volmer and built by Vicmarc. Click the link below to go to J. Volmer’s book on oval turning.
The below links will take you to a few short videos using the oval turning device.
