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.

Fixed jaw lathe chucks come with a set of inside and outside jaws.

Reversible jaw lathe chucks have one set of jaws that provide either an inside or outside grip.

High-pressure grease (sold separately) improves grip and prolongs the life of your lathe chuck.

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.

Use high-pressure grease to improve grip and prolong the life of your chuck.

You’ll need a mounting plate to attach the chuck to your lathe. Choose a mounting plate that matches the diameter of the lathe chuck, your lathe’s spindle type, and the spindle OD.

Compact enough for a workbench, these lathes are best for prototyping and one-off jobs in tool rooms or fabrication and maintenance shops. They do everything a full-size lathe can—turning, facing, threading, and knurling. Built from cast iron, they’re durable and stable. Plus, they have precision bearings in the headstock and spindle. They meet DIN 8606 for accuracy and performance.

Choose from six spindle speeds to tailor cuts to different materials and tasks. Because the speeds are set, you can’t fine-tune these lathes like you can with a variable-speed lathe.

Digital readout attachments display real-time tool positioning along two axes for increased machining accuracy.

Workbenches are made of steel and sized specifically for these lathes.

Often found in tool rooms and maintenance shops, these powerful lathes are used for turning, facing, threading, boring, and knurling. They’re built and tested to DIN 8606 standards for accuracy and performance. The frame and bed are made of cast iron for stability and a long service life. For precise, repeatable motion, these lathes have hardened and ground ways. They also have helical gears for smooth power transmission.

Twist the knobs on the front to choose from 18 spindle speeds to tailor cuts to different materials and tasks. Because these lathes have set speeds, you can’t fine-tune them with as much precision as variable-speed lathes.

Use the hinged door and drawers in the base for tool storage.

Digital readout attachments display the tool position in real time, which helps you machine more quickly and accurately.
