Mounting Chuck

(1/3) > >>

Suggy:
Hi All, When I got my lathe (second hand) it came with the 3 jaw chuck already mounted and up to now never needed to change it. The lathe came with a 4 jaw chuck and I'm a little nerves about changing it. The 3 jaw which is on the lathe as 3 bolts with nuts securing it in place





and there looks like there is some locating holes on the back plate


the 4 jaw chuck as 4 studs at the back



and no locating holes

Can anyone tell me how to mount both chuck's to the lathe? (I don’t mean both at the same time)

Cheers

Ian

First of all, we need to know what brand of lathe it is? From your description, I would guess a SEIG or Real Bull variant, but we need to be sure. Looks to me like you need an adaptor plate for the 4 jaw.

Hi Ian,

My guess is that the flange permanently fitted to the spindle has 6 or 7 holes (one hole may be common) and will take your 4-jaw directly. Those will be the extra holes you can see. (The 3-jaw and 4-jaw are supplied as standard with the lathe). Take the 3-jaw off and try it.

Cheers.

Phil.

This is the very same type as I have, and the hole in the back plate fitts very well in 4-jaw chuck. The only thing you need is to be very care full when you are lossing the nuts, have a pice off tree to be shure.  :coffee:
