Installation
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Mount the back plate on the spindle.
3. Accurately measure the inside of the back
relief bore on the chuck. This dimension is
critical and should be 0.001''.
* Maximum handle torque and gripping force
is given at full jaw and scroll gear engage-
ment. If jaw and scroll gear are partially
engaged, clamping force and gripping force is
reduced.
4. Face and true the diameter of the back plate.
Make passes across the face until the entire
surface has been cut.
5. Turn a shoulder into the face 1⁄8'' deep and
0.001" to 0.002'' larger than the back relief
bore diameter. Remember that this is a press
fit. Chamfer the corner a small amount to
prevent any burrs when installing.

For optimum performance from your chuck,
follow the maintenance schedule below, and
never hammer on the chuck, jaws, or a workpiece
clamped in the chuck. Never subject the chuck to
abrasives, flame, or water.
Note: Each jaw is marked
1, 2, 3, or 4 to correspond
to its marked slot in the
chuck

components. Inspect all bores, teeth, pins,
and mating surfaces for wear, burrs, galling,
rust, or cracks.
•
•
Wipe the chuck down with a thin coat of way
oil to prevent surface rust.
Grease the chuck fitting with one to two
pumps of NLGI #2 grease.
6. Without changing the dimension of any part,
use a wire brush, emery cloth, or dressing
stones, to remove any rust, burrs, or high
spots caused by galling.
If the chuck ever becomes stiff to operate, it may
have been contaminated with metal chips or
abrasives from neglect or poor service practices.
The chuck must be dissembled, cleaned, and re-
lubricated.
7. Coat all parts with any automotive NLGI #2
grease, and carefully reassemble the chuck
in the reverse order shown in Figure 2.
8. Rotate the chuck key clockwise until you
see the tip of the scroll-gear lead thread just
begin to enter jaw guide #1.
To disassemble the chuck for a full cleaning
and lubrication service:

jaw against the scroll-gear.
2. Mark the chuck and the mounting plate
where they mate to ensure that when
reassembled both halves line up. Next,
unbolt the chuck and separate both halves.
10. Rotate the chuck key clockwise one turn to
engage the tip of the scroll-gear lead thread
into the jaw. Pull the jaw; it should be locked
into the jaw guide.
3. Insert and rotate the chuck key
counterclockwise until the scroll-gear has
released all three jaws.
11. Install the other jaws in the same manner,
and install a new grease fitting if the ball or
nipple leak grease.
4. Using a 4mm and 6mm hex wrench, a #1
standard screwdriver, and a ratchet with a
7mm socket, start at #1 and disassemble the
chuck in the sequence shown in Figure 2.
12. Line up the timing mark on the chuck and
the mounting plate, and fasten both halves
by tightening and torquing the fasteners as
outlined in Step 13 in Installation.
