Lathe Accessories
ThreeJawUniversalLatheChuck
Using this universal chuck (Figure 22), round,
triangular, square, hexagonal, octagonal, and
twelve-cornered stock may be clamped.
Note: new lathes have very tight fitting jaws. This is
necessary to ensure accurate clamping and long
service life. With repeated opening and closing, the
jaws adjust automatically and their operation
becomes progressively smoother.
FourJawIndependentLatheChuck
This special chuck (Figure 23) has four
independently adjustable chuck jaws. These permit
the holding of asymmetrical pieces and enable the
accurate set-up of cylindrical pieces.
DrillChuck(Optional)
Use the drill chuck to hold centering drills and twist
drills in the tailstock (Figure 24).
MorseTaperArbor(Optional)
An arbor is necessary for mounting the drill chuck in
the tailstock. It has a No. 2 Morse Taper (Figure
24).
LiveCenter(Optional)
The live center is mounted in ball bearings (Figure
25). Its use is highly recommended for turning at
speeds in excess of 600 RPM.
