Woodturning Chucks

A reliable and robust chuck will allow you to securely and accurately attach your woodturning projects to the lathe spindle. Our chucks are available in a range of sizes and styles to suit the needs of your woodturning projects. They allow for easy and secure fastening of everything from small pieces of wood to larger and heavier projects.

In this section you will find different versions of self-centring jaw chucks, screw chucks and face plates for screwing on the wood blank or also drivecentres and livecentres for fastening long wood projects. In addition, you will find vacuum clamping technology, options for eccentric fastening of workpieces or mandrels for clamping kits for writing instruments and the like. High quality drill chucks can also be found in this category.

Chucks are used with various tools and machines and are called different names according to the area of application. Lathe chucks used in woodworking on lathes are called lathe chucks.

In general, a distinction can be made between lathe chucks and drill chucks. If the chuck holds the workpiece, then it is also called a lathe chuck. Chucks for attaching drills or similar tools are called drill chucks.
The lathe chuck is mainly used on lathes. They can be divided into different categories, such as the three-jaw or four-jaw chuck. The three-jaw chucks are mainly used for round, three- or six-edged workpieces. The four-jaw chuck, on the other hand, is used for four- and eight-edged workpieces. Four-jaw lathe chucks usually have base jaws onto which differently shaped top jaws are screwed.
You will already have come across a drill chuck on other machines such as drills or milling machines. Quick-action chucks, gear rim drill chucks or precise collet chucks are often used.
The quality of the chuck is particularly important to ensure safe and stable working. It is not only worth comparing products, but also choosing a high-quality brand.
