Off Center Jig Complete Kit
$106.75
The Joyner Off Center complete kit comes with:
*Off Center Plate: has 10 holes in a spiral pattern
* Indexing plate: 24 indexing positions
*3 “Buttons”: disks to attach wood for easy design repetition
*3/8″ x 16 tpi bolt for turning stoppers, knobs, etc.
*4 Thumb screws to attach plates together
*Choice of 4 mandrel styles
*Draw bar choice with #2MT-A and #2MT-B mandrels
Made in the USA only in Missouri
Regular Price: $133.50 if ordered individual pieces.
Works as efficiently as the original Joyner off-set jig with 8 holes: the addition of 2 more off-set holes greatly improves design creations. There are now 12 holes around the diameter of the off-set plate making it possible to insert screws just about anywhere to hold the two plates together. *Note: the mandrel in this kit does not have the self-tapping flute/slit in the threads. You can use any of my self-tapping mandrels, however you must be careful when threading them into the off-set plate. If there is any resistance, back it out and start again, do not force it because you will be cross threading the plate. Here are the Basic Instructions for Joyner Off
**New addition are the 3 “Buttons”. These thread into the off-set holes without using the thinner index plate. Use double-faced tape to adhere the wood to the Button. If you want to put both the mandrel and the button in in the center hole to clean the wood or create a dome, put the 2 metal spacers on the mandrel, then remove the washers when you move the button to another hole. I made the 3 piece pendant and earrings and was impressed how great it did the same design on the 2″ and 1 1/4″ and the 7/8″ discs. Normally you have to fiddle with the setting to get a smaller diameter have the same cuts as a larger one. These “Buttons” were created by Jerry Sowers in IN.
To make stoppers, openers, can tab lifters or knobs for boxes or unique cabinet knobs, use the bolt in the index plate as shown in the picture.

I purchased the Off Center Jig and I’m very happy with it. Product quality is great but better than that is the customer service you receive from Ruth. I look forward to trying Ruth’s bottle stopper kit.

Just ordered the new 10 hole offset jig plate and buttons. Shipping was very fast. The items are well-made and fit the old baseplate very well. Ruth goes out of her way to ensure the best possible customer experience. Thank you very much Ruth!

I love turning the pendants on this jig, it is so much safer than the other ways I’ve seen it done.
I will definitely be recommending it to other wood turners.

Well designed, solidly built, and very customizable for many different patterns or oddball turnings. Gives me a fun new way to decorate container lids, and pendants make bottle stoppers and various other items.
Steven Kotz –
I really like the off-center jig. It is very well designed and made. In spite of all the training information provided and the online videos available (the best is Ed Davidson’s) I still found that getting the knack of how it all works and what’s possible with it a bit of a steep learning curve. I also have the original version of the jig from several years back and rediscovered the original detailed instructions that came with it and that helped me a lot!. For those of us who are a little more “challenged” by highly engineered tooling, the more detailed and specific learning tools available the better. I highly recommend this jig.

I will rave about the Joyner Off Center kit. What fun! Once I got over my confusion about how to hook it up, I had such fun off center turning.
Tom Puskar –
I used the Off-Set jig right after I purchased it a year or more ago but haven’t used it in a while. Now that my granddaughters are “of age” for jewelry, I think I’ll give it another go.
Wayne Hale –
I was very impressed with the packaging when I opened my shipment and extremely pleased with the quality of the items
Lorin Bartels –
I purchased the Joyner jig and have been very happy with it. Would recomend it to other turners.
Paul Swaney –
Your products are great I have been using the off set jig almost everyday what a great contraption
Quentin DeWitt –
This Joyner jig is very cool. Right now I complete each pendant one at a time. I was thinking that it might be quicker to purchase multiple plates so that I could say finish four or five pendants at a time and somehow reduce my time spent screwing/unscrewing. Or maybe I just need to relax and enjoy the ride.

I just wanted to let you know how much I like the Joyner jig I purchased several months ago. Last night at our local woodturners meeting, I gave a pendant turning demo using it. The demo went well, and several people expressed interest in the jig.
Colin Knight-Griffin –
The pendant turning jig is very well made, so the product is very acceptable. I’m glad I was put in touch with you through Eddie Castelin. I remember you telling me that it was complicated to work. Reading 25 pages of instructions and ideas is much to digest at one sitting. However, it all makes sense and anyone with a modicum of mathematics can get through the necessary steps to put it to work. As I say, the piece is beautifully made and all connections mesh perfectly.

I was reading through your site and I want to say that I really admire what you do. The Excel tool for visualizing the results is awesome and the support you provide to the artists that purchase your products is really nice to see. I also enjoyed reading your bio and was really impressed by your commitment to getting your products made and putting out a better version than what had been available before.
Thanks for everything you do for the crafting community!
Robert Roehrig –
people need to see that these jigs can go way beyond pendant making and are very versatile. I can do the same things with this jig that the $300 Vermec offset jig can do
Matt Harber –
I have purchased several products and have enjoyed all of them. I especially find the off-center Joyner jig to be a marvelous tool, offering lots of room for creativity and innovation, precisely manufactured, and highly useful. I have some ideas for exploring the more difficult aspects of it, at some point, but have not yet gotten to those ideas yet.
Tom –
This is a great product if you do offset turning. Wheter bottle stoppers, ornaments, jewlry, etc you will find this one of the best tools in your arsenal.
Buy the original and the best !!
Ed Cypher –
I have loved everything I have purchased from you and it is all made so well. I think I have brought at least 3 generations of pendant jigs and each one is better than the last. Thanks for making such great stuff.
