This chuck is intended for manual lathe setups in production machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities. It is well suited to turning, facing, and boring operations on steel, aluminum, and other machinable materials. The self-centering scroll mechanism allows rapid three-jaw simultaneous movement for fast part changeover. At 20 pounds, the unit is sized for mid-range engine lathes. Machinists and machine tool technicians are the primary installers and users of this chuck.
