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.
