Typically used for metalworking, a collet chuck is also well suited to woodturning applications
Valued for its ability to accurately grip small hardwood blanks without marring surfaces, it also allows stock to be removed and remounted with repeatable concentricity — important for sanding and finishing a workpiece
Each collet has about a 1/32" range of motion
Usable with or without tailstock support, the machined steel chuck mounts on your lathe spindle and includes two wrenches for securing/removing the nose nut
The chuck is also useful for holding mandrels, small custom face plates, and metal turning blanks
Available for spindle sizes 1"-8, 1 1/4"-8, 33mm and 1 1/2"-8
Each set contains a chock, nose nut, five collets (1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4") and a pair of hook wrenches
A well-made tool suitable for mid- to large-size lathes
