Collection: Lathe Chucks

The most common types of lathe chucks are 3-jaw self-centering and 4-jaw independent. These two are so common that they are usually just called 3-jaw and 4-jaw. The "self-centering" and "independent" are understood. A well-equipped lathe has both a 3-jaw and a 4-jaw chuck. Don’t try to always use one or the other.
