Hemingway Kits 2-Jaw Independent Chuck

2-Jaw Independent Chuck - Ø5"


	2-Jaw Independent Chuck - Ø5" Ref: HK 1650 A 2 Jaw chuck..... are you mad? No; these chucks were made by both Pratt Burnerd and Alfred Herbert and were very popular in the world of pipe fittings, enabling awkward shapes to be held and the set-up repeated whenever required. A faceplate is a very flexible system for holding work to the lathe, but what a pig to set jobs square! Consider the 2 Jaw. In essence, a faceplate with a highly versatile vice attached. Each jaw is adjusted independently, allowing irregular or offset work to be accommodated securely. Unlike the 3 and 4-jaw chuck, any number of special jaw plates can be made from the suggested jig, to allow virtually any shape to be accepted. The designer even mentions melting polypropylene jaw plates around a complex boiler part! Whilst the drawings include details for a Myford Series 7 adaptor, this chuck can be adapted to suit any lathe above 2 1/2" centre height by turning a shallow register onto your faceplate or catchplate. The kit comes complete with all necessary materials for the chuck, adaptor, key and your first 2 sets of jaw plates. Mr. Figes' illustrated instructions come with superb drawings, projected from a 3D solid model CAD assembly, making them particularly straight forward to read and apply.
