Axminster Evolution SK100 lathe chuck SOLO without top jaws

The Evolution SK100 lathe chuck is available with or without Euro ASR (safety groove). The version with ASR must also have a Euro ASR groove on the lathe spindle. Please select!

The Axminster SK100 chuck with its slim, CNC-milled stainless steel body and integrated base jaws is fully compatible with all previous top jaws from the manufacturer Axminster. The lathe chuck is precision machined from stainless steel and is easy to use with the square key supplied.

Key features:
- Manufactured in Axminster (UK)
- 100 mm diameter
- M33 x 3.5 spindle thread
- 9x9 mm square wrench for secure grip and powerful torque
- Stainless steel body, maximum corrosion resistance, 100 mm diameter
- High concentricity due to chuck body with direct thread
- Compatible with all previous accessory and dovetail jaws
- Interchangeable chuck base jaws for screwing on the top jaws

The Axminster Evolution SK100 lathe chuck is the latest addition to the product range and, in our opinion, the best chuck yet from the British manufacturer Axminster. It is super slim, incredibly accurate and compatible with all  previous Axminster accessories.

Highest precision as standard!
The Evolution SK100 is manufactured from stainless steel to the tightest tolerances so that both the jaw guide and the integrated spindle thread fit perfectly. Other chucks on the market are often coated, which means that the chuck is manufactured undersized and then brought to the correct tolerances through the coating process. A process that is far less precise.

By machining the jaw raceways, worm guide and thread in a single operation, concentricity is absolute. And that's not all: the jaws are machined with an accuracy of 2 micrometers. The lathe chuck can therefore be classified as super-precision in terms of accuracy.

Three hardened pinions ensure that the chuck is always accessible from any angle for clamping with the key. The key is fitted with a square so that it sits securely in the pinion and is easy to operate.

Due to moisture in wood and in workshops, standard chucks can corrode over time. For this reason, the housing of the Evolution SK100 is made entirely of stainless steel, which prevents the chuck from rusting.

The Evolution SK100 chuck is only 50 mm wide and has been designed to sit as close as possible to the headstock bearing. This minimizes vibrations and achieves a much smoother turning action, enabling faster and cleaner cuts. This is not only extremely important when turning large hollow parts, but is also good engineering practice, as the bearings are not overloaded.
