The Axminster Evolution SK114 lathe chuck is the latest addition to the range and, in our opinion, the best chuck from UK manufacturer Axminster to date. It is super slim, incredibly accurate and compatible with all previous Axminster branded accessories.

Highest precision as standard!
The Evolution SK114 is made of stainless steel with the lowest tolerance so that both the guide of the jaws and the incorporated 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, the screw guide and the thread in one operation, concentricity is absolute. And not only that: the jaws are machined with an accuracy of 2 micrometres. Therefore, in terms of accuracy, the lathe chuck can be placed in the super-precision class.

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

Due to moisture in wood and workshops, standard chucks can corrode over time. For this reason, the housing of the Evolution SK114 is made entirely of stainless steel, which prevents the chuck from rusting.

The Evolution SK114 chuck is only 50 mm wide and has been designed to sit as close as possible to the headstock bearing. This minimises vibration and gives a much smoother turning action, allowing for faster and cleaner cuts. This is not only extremely important when turning large hollow bodies, but is also in line with good technical practice as the bearings are not overloaded.
