Scroll Chuck
Clamping
This 3-jaw, scroll-type chuck has an internal scroll-
gear that moves all jaws in unison when adjusted
with the chuck key. This chuck holds cylindrical
parts on-center with the axis of spindle rotation
and can be rotated at high speeds if the workpiece
is properly clamped and balanced.

accommodate an odd-shaped workpiece. The
chuck will spin out of balance and may throw the
workpiece! Instead, use an independent jaw chuck
or a faceplate.

Chuck Jaw Reversal

This chuck has 2-piece jaws that consist of
a top jaw and a master jaw. The top jaw can
be removed, rotated 180°, and re-installed in
the reverse position for additional work-holding
options. When reversing the top jaws, always
keep them matched with their original master jaw
to ensure the best fit.
To reverse 2-piece jaws:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove cap screws that secure top jaw to
master (bottom) jaw.
3.
Remove top jaw, rotate it 180°, then re-install
it with longest cap screw in tallest portion of
jaw.
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 with each remaining jaw
(we recommend only reversing one jaw at a
time to keep all original parts together).
