Chuck & faceplate
Mounting
this lathe is equipped with an M14-1.0 threaded
spindle nose. With this type of spindle, the chuck
or faceplate (not included) screws directly onto the
spindle nose.
Never use spindle speeds faster than the
chuck RpM rating or the safe limits of
your workpiece. Excessive spindle speeds
greatly increase the risk of the workpiece or
chuck being thrown from the machine with
deadly force!
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep these items away
from moving parts at all
times to reduce this risk.
this lathe ships with the 3-jaw chuck installed.
this is a scroll-type chuck where all three jaws
move in unison when the chuck key is used.
if the chuck cannot hold your workpiece, use a
faceplate (not included) with slots for t-bolts that
hold standard or custom clamping hardware. With
the correct clamping hardware, a faceplate offers
a wide range of uses, including machining non-
concentric workpieces, straight turning between
centers, and boring.

Installation &
Removal Device
Because a chuck may become damaged or dam-
age the bedways if dropped, always use a support
or protective device during installation or removal.
