Hertel 1-101-0600 3-jaw Lathe Chuck 6 Inch Plain Back

Product Description

The HERTEL 1-101-0600 is a self-centering 3-jaw manual lathe chuck designed for precision workholding on manual lathes. Built from forged steel, it measures 6 inches in diameter with a plain back mount configuration and supports speeds up to 3,500 RPM. The adjustable jaw design accommodates a wide jaw capacity range, from 7/64 inches minimum to 6-19/64 inches maximum. With a through-hole diameter of 1.6535 inches and a body length of 2-11/16 inches, this chuck is suited for general-purpose turning operations requiring repeatable centering without manual adjustment between workpieces. Machinists and tool room technicians are the primary installers.

This chuck is intended for use on manual lathes in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments. The plain back mount style requires a suitable adapter plate or backing plate matched to the lathe spindle. It is appropriate for both light and moderate turning operations on round or symmetrical stock. The self-centering action of the 3-jaw configuration makes it efficient for repetitive chuck-and-turn workflows on cylindrical workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with lathe spindle configurations. Power down and lock out the lathe before mounting or removing the chuck.
