Lathe Chuck 6 Jaws

6-jaw lathe chucks are precision workholding devices designed to grip and center a workpiece with a more uniform clamping force than standard 3-jaw chucks. They are commonly chosen when stability, reduced distortion, and improved pressure distribution are required, especially on thin-walled parts, delicate components, or when maintaining roundness during turning is critical.

This collection features chucks from Tos and Vertex, covering practical options for different clamping ranges and shop requirements. You’ll find self-centering configurations, jaw sets suitable for internal and external gripping, and designs intended for common mounting methods via backplate or flange interfaces. Key specifications to consider include repeatability, body rigidity, smooth scroll mechanism operation, and overall runout performance for consistent machining results.

These chucks are used by machinists, production workshops, and maintenance teams across metalworking, tooling, and general manufacturing. They support operations such as precision turning, finishing passes, threading, and machining of non-ferrous materials where minimizing vibration and eccentricity directly impacts surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
