Available thread sizes

Inserts are available to adapt the chuck to fit most lathe threads right or left hand. Please click Thread fittings on blue nav bar for full details. If you change your lathe in the future or if you have two different lathes you can quickly change the insert to fit the new thread using the spanner provided.
For large threads such as 1.1/2" x 6, 33mm x 3.5 and 1.1/2" x 8 an "excert" is needed which is a large insert projecting 50mm behind the chuck and costs extra

However 1,1/2" x 6 and 33mm x 3.5 "dedicated thread" chucks are also available where the thread is cut directly into the chuck itself so no insert or exert is needed. The thread cannot be changed once cut. 1.1/2" x 6 chucks are normally supplied cut with both left and right hand threads. Ring 01787 237291 for technical advice and pricing.
