The Robert Sorby Eccentric Chuck - made by themselves, not a third-party supplier - can be used not only in ordinary faceplate and screwchuck modes (above) but also with a hexagonal ball-and-socket driver (below) that allows the workpiece to be angled at up to 20 degrees away from the spindle axis. The versatility of the device is explained in a 12-page instruction manual.

This insert is carrying the peg which hold the ball-and-socket joint assembly. In the picture the inner drum is set on a zero mark to run the chuck on the spindle centre line with zero offset. |

The same assembly as in the picture above - but with the housing rotated so that its setting produces the maximum amount of eccentricity. |
