Chris' Tips
Some people want a chuck that can hold larger diameters. 4" chucks work well on the mini lathe, but it is possible to use a 5" chuck on the mini lathe.
Mount this chuck on a mini lathe with one of our chuck adapters. Or purchase a chuck with an adapter already mounted.
Here are instructions for centering work in a 4-jaw chuck. It's easy if you follow this procedure.
Here is a chart that provides lathe chuck capacities and mounting dimensions.To mount this chuck on an 8x12 or 8x14 lathe, simply drill three more bolt holes in the spindle flange. These are clearance holes so you can use a hand drill to drill them without removing the spindle from the lathe.
