Sherline 3-Jaw Self-centering Chucks

Three-jaw chucks are convenient for holding round work quickly. Shown above is the 2.5" diameter chuck P/N 1041. The 3-jaw chuck is also available in 3.1" diameter. (Click on photo for larger image.)

2.5" Diameter 3-Jaw Self-centering Chucks...

This compact chuck is a good all-around workhorse for most lathe work. It has a clamping range of from 3/32" (2 mm) up to 1-3/16" (30 mm) diameter with the jaws in the normal position. With the jaws in the reversed position, work up to 2-1/4" (56 mm) can be gripped. The hole through the chuck is .687" (17 mm). Rotating the knurled ring closes all three jaws simultaneously to quickly grip round or hexagonal stock. Tommy bars (provided) are used in the holes in the side to tighten and loosen the chuck for more leverage. The chuck is available in several spindle threads for use on Sherline and other machines.

The P/N 1040 3.1" 3-jaw chuck takes maximum advantage of the size available on a standard Sherline lathe.

3.1" Diameter 3-Jaw Self-centering Chucks...

This larger chuck takes up no more center-to-center space than the 2.5" chuck, but it will hold larger work. It has a clamping range of from 3/32" (2 mm) up to 1-1/2" (38 mm) diameter with the jaws in the normal position. With the jaws in the reversed position, work up to 2-3/4" (70 mm) can be gripped. The hole through the chuck is .687" (17 mm). Rotating the knurled ring closes all three jaws simultaneously to quickly grip round or hexagonal stock. Tommy bars (provided) are used in the holes in the side to tighten and loosen the chuck for more leverage. The chuck has a 3/4-16 thread to fit Sherline's spindle and other machines using that thread.
