| The three-jaw powered chuck
is the standard work holding device for most lathe users. This
type of chuck is versatile enough to be used in a wide range of turning
applications. However, it's not the best chuck for all jobs. The Collet
chuck is an alternate work holding device that, like the jaw chuck, also
uses mechanical force to hold the part being turned. While a Collet
chuck lacks the capacity for the same wide range of work piece sizes
that a jaw chuck can accommodate, it offers advantages related to speed,
accuracy and productivity that may be crucial for certain jobs. Collet chucks cater for standard stock material such as 6 mm, 8 mm etc round bar. |
