    Economy Lathe Chucks

    Choose these lathe chucks when high precision isn’t critical. Made of cast iron, they don't match up to the same tight tolerances as forged steel lathe chucks. This means they are only rated to half the maximum speed, so they may wobble at high speeds. Also known as scroll chucks, they are self-centering—all three jaws move together, centering the workpiece as they close. Use the included lathe chuck wrench to open and close the jaws. You’ll need a mounting plate (not included) to connect these chucks to your lathe.

    Lathe Chucks

    Mount these chucks to a lathe's spindle to hold round workpieces. Also known as scroll chucks, they are self centering—all jaws move in unison, centering the workpiece as they close. Made of forged steel, these chucks are strong and wear resistant, so they maintain their shape even with continuous use. They’re often used for precision machining. You can run them at higher speeds than cast iron chucks, and they’ll last longer. Use the included lathe chuck wrench to open and close the jaws.

    Chucks with reversible jaws come with one set of jaws that can be installed for either an inside or outside grip. These jaws are two-piece and tongue-and-groove, so they’re great for when you need to regularly switch top jaws or use soft jaws for custom clamping. This setup offers the best mix of flexibility and repeatable accuracy.
