The Axminster Evolution SK100 lathe chuck is the latest addition to the product range and, in our opinion, the best chuck yet from English 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 tracks, worm guide and thread in one 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 bodies, but also corresponds to good technical practice, as the bearings are not overloaded.
