    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.

    3 Jaws

    6 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.
    6 Jaws—Chucks with six jaws hold your workpiece tighter than chucks with three jaws. They also distribute the clamping force more evenly, so you’re less likely to deform parts with thin walls.

    Powered Lathe Chucks

    Precise and powerful clamping for high speed, heavy duty CNC turning. These chucks connect to your CNC lathe’s hydraulic system to open and close the jaws—no more cranking with a chuck jaw wrench. To mount the chucks to your lathe, machine the included blank draw nut to match the thread of your drawtube. You can use these as drop-in replacements for major machine brands such as Okuma, Mazak, Haas, Hyundai WIA, and Doosan.
    These chucks are self-centering, so all the jaws move in unison to center the workpiece as they close. They come with a set of machinable jaws that you can bore to fit the curves and edges of your unique workpiece for a tighter hold and more stability than standard hardened jaws. For additional sizes and materials, see our full offering of machinable jaws.

    Built-In Adjustment Ring

    Jaw-boring chucks reduce the time it takes to machine jaws. Instead of a separate boring ring or machined slugs that you have to position and reposition, they have a built-in adjustment ring. All you need is an L-key to fine-tune alignment once before machining. The ring moves in increments as small as 0.004”, so the jaws are machined for a tight fit to your workpiece.

    Tongue and Groove Jaw

    Adjust each jaw on these chucks separately to hold rectangular or odd-shaped workpieces. Also known as independent chucks, they have four jaws that each have their own adjustment screw. For quicker setups, you can also remove two jaws and clamp with the remaining two. All jaws are reversible, so you can install them for either an inside or an outside grip. Use the included wrench to move them in or out. 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. They last longer than cast iron chucks, and you can run them at higher speeds.

    Serrated Jaws

    Tongue and Groove Jaws

    Full-grip jaws surround the workpiece for maximum grip from every angle, ensuring an exact fit on thin or intricate parts. This increased contact area reduces your risk of deforming parts with thin walls. They’re also known as pie jaws.
    Serrated Jaws—Serrated jaws work with most power lathe chucks from Kitagawa, LMC, Samchully, Toolmex, Bison, Seoam, and Auto Strong. Attach to your chuck with jaw nuts (not included).
    Tongue and Groove Jaws— Tongue and groove jaws work with most manual lathe chucks from Bison, Toolmex, Buck, Samchully, Rohm, and Huron.
    6061 Aluminum—6061 aluminum jaws are lighter in weight than steel jaws, so they can be turned at higher speeds with less wear on your machine.
