3-Jaw Lathe Chuck / steel body

Lathe chucks are chucks for workpiece clamping fixtures on lathes and dividers. The machined steel body of the lathe chuck provides better high-speed performance. They are supplied either for direct mounting or must be attached to the machine or equipment using a flange. Three-jaw lathe chucks are ideal for round or regularly shaped three- and six-sided workpieces. The workpiece is always held centered, because the jaws are operated by a rotated scroll chuck. Basic lathe equipment includes drill and lathe jaws made of hardened steel.
