8. Chuck and Faceplate Removal/Installation
When fitting chucks or faceplates, ensure that the spindle and the chuck taper are
correct when mounting a new chuck to re-set the cam lock studs (A). Remove the cap
head locking screws (B) and set each stud so that the scribed ring (C) is flush with the
rear face of the chuck with the slot lining up with the locking screw hole.
Mount the chuck or the faceplate on the spindle nose and tighten the six cams in turn.
When fully tightened, the cam lock line on each cam should be between the two V
marks of the spindle nose.
If any of the cams do not fully tighten with in these limit marks, remove the chuck or
faceplate and re-adjust the stud as indicated in the illustration. Fit and tighten the
locking screw (B) at each stud before remounting the chuck for work. A reference
mark should be made on each correctly fitted chuck or faceplate to coincide with the
reference mark scribed into the spindle nose. This will assist subsequent remounting.
Do not interchange chucks or faceplates between lathes without checking for the
correct cam locking.
