Removing the chuck from the lathe

After a long time, the chuck inserts tend to become stuck/ seized onto the chuck
body. It is recommended to remove the chuck body from the insert while the chuck
is mounted onto the lathe spindle.

the M6 grub screw which prevents
the insert from unscrewing during
operation.

For the insert version chuck, there
may be 2 (One for the insert and
lathe, another for the insert and
chuck body)
Lock the lathe spindle from
turning by engaging the index
locking feature.
*For insert chucks*
Open the jaws and fit the long
piece of timber between the jaws
as shown in the image.
Securely hold the insert portion of
the chuck with the 1 ½” spanner
and turn the timber Counter-
clockwise direction to screw off
the chuck body from the insert.
