We have various items of lathe tooling for the Metalworking lathe.

This page details what we have.

Work Holding

Four Jaw chuck

We have two chucks for the metal working lathe. A three jaw chuck, and a four jaw chuck. The three jaw is normally installed on the lathe. Unless you want to be dialing the work in, this is the chuck you want to use. The four jaw chuck lives under the lathe on a little stand. Lathe Chucks are HEAVY. They are also precision items, try to avoid dropping them. When replacing the lathe chuck, place a block of wood on the ways to protect them.

You need a 14mm spanner to undo the bolts that hold the chuck in place.

The lathe spindle bore has a Morse Taper 4 taper ground into it. Maximium diameter that fits through the spindle bore is 26mm.

Tailstock tooling

For the Tailstock we have various tools that have a Morse Taper 2 shank. Details of which can be found on the dedicated MT2 page.
