Hertel 1-322-1006 Manual Lathe Chuck 10 Inch 4 Jaw

Product Description

The HERTEL 1-322-1006 is a 10-inch diameter, 4-jaw independent manual lathe chuck designed for precision workholding on metalworking lathes. Built with a cast iron body, it accommodates solid reversible jaws and delivers a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM. The independent jaw design allows each jaw to be adjusted individually, making it well suited for chucking irregular, asymmetrical, or non-concentric workpieces. With an axial runout of 0.0010 inches and a through-hole diameter of 2.599 inches, this chuck is built for accurate, repeatable setups on production and job-shop lathes alike. Installation and setup are performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians.

This chuck is intended for use on manual engine lathes in machine shops, toolrooms, and manufacturing facilities. The 10-inch body diameter and 1,500 RPM maximum speed make it appropriate for medium to large lathe spindles in both light production and general-purpose turning applications. The independent jaw configuration is particularly useful when facing or turning castings, forgings, and other non-round stock that cannot be centered with a scroll chuck. Jaw capacity ranges from 25/64 inches minimum to 1-27/32 inches maximum, covering a practical range of workpiece diameters.
