Chuck & Faceplate

Mounting

This lathe is equipped with an intrinsic backplate spindle nose. With this type of spindle, a chuck or faceplate is mounted directly to the backplate with hex nuts.

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 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.
