This 6 inch 3-Jaw self-centering lathe chuck includes a chuck key, reversible top jaws, and mounting bolts.

This chuck has a 1.57" (40 mm) through hole. The chuck can hold work up to 5.70" (145 mm) in diameter.

This is a plain back chuck and requires a backplate adapter to mount it. Front mount chucks are designed to be used with rotary tables and other devices where back mounting chucks cannot be used.

The radial runout of a test bar held in this chuck, when the chuck is mounted true, is 0.004" maximum.

Sebastian A. ★★★★★

The 1.57" through hole is perfect for passing longer stock through the chuck, and the jaws flipped over smoothly for gripping smaller parts. The mounting bolts were a nice inclusion, saving me a trip to the hardware store.

Timothy ★★★★★

The reversible jaws flipped over in about two minutes and grabbed my 4-inch aluminum stock dead true. Through hole is plenty big for my needs, and the key fits snug without slop.

Jason V. ★★★★★

I was worried about fitment, but the 1.57" through hole lets me feed longer stock straight through. The self-centering action is dead-on true, and the chuck key feels solid in hand.
