Lathe chucks are workholding devices that clamp a part on the spindle so it stays centered and rigid during rotation. With adjustable jaws they provide secure grip, repeatability and reduced vibration for turning and drilling operations.
Available in 3-jaw self-centering, 4-jaw independent and collet-style designs, with options in different diameters, body materials and build grades, including hardened jaws and high-speed configurations. Choose from Tos, Vertex & Bison.
Common in machine shops and production, selection depends on part geometry, required runout and the preferred clamping method.
