4 inch chuck

2015-10-21 · Weekly Newsletters

4” Chuck

This chuck is ideal for all lathes with swings from 10” up to 25” and is durable enough for use with even the largest wood lathes. Typically when installing a steel chuck on a smaller lathe, the weight of the chuck can place unnecessary strain on the motor and spindle bearings. This innovative weight saving aluminum alloy material is considerably lighter (around 40%) than other typical chucks. Its added durability of this special aluminum alloy makes it ideal for all lathes, but especially beneficial for lathes with motors of 1 HP or less. It works great for all projects from bowls and hollow vessels to pens, goblets, tops and all spindle projects. Dovetail Jaws on the #2 & #3 jaws provide exceptional holding power.
