Value Collection 193977.00 Lathe Chuck Shank 6 Inch 5C Mount

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 193977.00 is a lathe chuck shank designed to connect a 6-inch chuck body to a 5C spindle mount on a metal lathe. This shank serves as the mechanical interface between the machine spindle and the chuck assembly, transferring rotational force and maintaining precise axial alignment during turning operations. Weighing 1.37 pounds, it is sized for use with 8-jaw self-centering chucks at a 6-inch chuck diameter. Machinists and tool and die professionals install this component when configuring or reconfiguring lathe setups that require a 5C mount interface.

This shank is suited for machine shop environments where lathes are equipped with 5C collet-style spindle noses. It is intended for use with 8-jaw self-centering chuck assemblies at the 6-inch diameter class. Typical applications include production turning, second-operation work, and toolroom setups where repeatable chuck mounting is required. Installation is performed by qualified machinists during spindle and chuck assembly configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation of lathe chuck shanks should be performed by a qualified machinist with the lathe fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. The spindle bore and shank mating surfaces should be cleaned and inspected for burrs or damage before assembly. Proper seating and retention hardware should be confirmed secure before resuming lathe operation. Do not operate the lathe with a chuck or shank assembly that is not fully seated and fastened.
