What this does for you Converts a standard lathe, CNC spindle, or drill into a reliable three-jaw self-centering workholding solution, so you can grip round and hex stock quickly and repeatably. Reduces setup time and scrap by automatically aligning workpieces and compensating for minor center deviations, improving accuracy and consistency across jobs. Gives a strong, stable hold with a hardened, high‑strength construction that resists wear and maintains grip over repeated use. Key benefits Faster setups: lever-and-rod operation lets you tighten and release the chuck quickly, saving time on repetitive tasks. Better accuracy: self-centering action corrects small misalignments to keep work centered and reduce runout. Long service life: hardened materials and a compact, lightweight design provide durable performance without adding bulk to your machine. Versatile compatibility: designed to work with lathes, CNC machines, and drills, expanding the range of fixtures and materials you can process. Important attributes Function: three-jaw, self-centering chuck for efficient clamping of round, hexagonal, and similar stock. Compatibility: intended for use on lathes, CNC spindles, and drill setups. Material and build: hardened components and a high-strength structure for a stable grip and extended durability. Performance: automatic center deviation correction for improved accuracy and repeatable results; compact and lightweight for easy handling and minimal added mass. Ease of use: integrated lever and rod elements simplify installation and adjustment. Practical applications (examples) Woodturning: hold bowls, pens, and spindles on a wood lathe for fast, centered turning with reduced truing time. Metal prototyping: clamp small round stock on a CNC mill or lathe for precise machining of bushings, spacers, and fittings. Fixture and repair work: secure shafts or rods for drilling, reaming, or light finishing in a shop or maintenance environment. Why choose this chuck It combines hardened construction and a self-centering three-jaw design to solve common shop problems: slow setups, inconsistent centering, and premature wear. The result is a dependable, easy-to-use chuck that improves workflow efficiency and maintains accuracy across repeated operations. Notes for users Use appropriate mounting and torque practices for your machine to ensure safe operation. Ideal for operators seeking a durable, quick-adjust clamping solution that integrates with existing lathes, CNC machines, and drills.
