Chuck & Faceplate Mounting

This lathe is equipped with a D1-type spindle nose. This type of spindle uses camlocks that are adjusted with a chuck key to securely mount a chuck or faceplate with repeatable precision and ease.

Never use spindle speeds faster than the chuck RPM rating or the safe limits of your workpiece. Excessive spindle speeds greatly increase the risk of the workpiece or chuck being thrown from the machine with deadly force!

This lathe ships with the 3-jaw chuck installed. This is a scroll-type chuck where all three jaws move in unison when the chuck key is used.

The included 4-jaw chuck features independent jaws, which are used for square or unevenly- shaped stock, and to mount work that needs to be adjusted to near zero total indicated runout.

If neither chuck can hold your workpiece, the cast iron faceplate has slots for T-bolts that hold standard or custom clamping hardware. With the correct clamping hardware, a faceplate offers a wide range of uses, including machining non- concentric workpieces, straight turning between centers, off-center turning, and boring.

Because chucks are heavy and often awkward to hold, some kind of lifting, support, or protective device should be used during installation or removal. The weight and size of the chuck will determine the appropriate device to use (refer to the following figure for examples).

A dropped chuck can cause amputation, serious crushing injuries, or property damage. Always use a lifting, support, or protective device to reduce this risk when installing or removing a chuck.
