Product Information:

Expand the versatility of your lathe and mount your workpieces quicker and easier with the self-centering 4-jaw chuck. You'll appreciate the following features: wide range of jaw movement, quick action and a powerful grip in either expansion or contraction modes. Jaws will expand and grip in a 2-3" dovetailed recess in the base of your turning. Simply rotate the chuck's outer ring in the opposite direction to firmly hold round stock between 1-5/8" and 2-3/4" or square billets 1-1/8" to 2-1/8" in size. No disassembly or accessories are required to use the accompanying screw chuck, which has a 1-1/8" long right hand thread. Chuck body is chrome-plated to protect against corrosion while the jaws are anodized black. Comes complete with screw center, locking levers, T-handled hex wrench for jaw screws and 8 extra jaw screws. Everything is secure in a fitted plastic storage/carrying case.

    Comments about 1" x 8 TPI Self-Centering 4-Jaw Chuck :

    This chuck is a really good deal all things considered. While it is a 2 handed arraingment to get it tightened up it does take a nice strong grip on the project. Unlike most of the write ups I've seen it does indeed use an insert so it can be moved to another lathe if needed with just the purchase of an adapter, exactly like the more expensive options. A little less convenient? True. But for the money a pretty darn nice option.

    I have enjoyed using this self centering chuck for turning pepper mills from 5" to 14". It really holds onto not only the round stock that I use but also square stock and octagonal stock as well. It is easy to remove and reinstall. No vibration what so ever.

    Comments about 1" x 8 TPI Self-Centering 4-Jaw Chuck :

    I really like this chuck. Holds tight as long as you make a groove with the table saw to fit the workpiece tightly inside the jaws. I did find that there was some missing information in the flyer and that is the size of drill bit to use with the screw chuck. Can anyone enlighten me? This is much needed information for anyone turning bottle stoppers, ornaments, and shaving brushes.

    Comments about 1" x 8 TPI Self-Centering 4-Jaw Chuck :

    Although the chuck works well it's shortcoming is that it only opens so wide. Another chuck might offer that extra 1/2 inch that would make my life much easier, since I would not have to 'turn down' many of my projects!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    The chuck works great for the price. It's my first chuck of this kind as I transition from making pens to bowls. Turned two bowls over the weekend and no problems. Only gripe is there were no instructions in the box. There are a few things I still haven't figured out yet and need help.
