EVS Toolroom Lathe w/DRO

-37-

This lathe ships with the 3-jaw chuck installed. 
This is a scroll-type chuck where all three jaws 
move in unison when the chuck key is used.

The included 4-jaw chuck features independent 
jaws, which are used for square or unevenly-
shaped stock, and to mount work that needs to 
be adjusted to near zero total indicated runout.

If neither chuck can hold your workpiece, the 
cast iron faceplate has slots for T-bolts that hold 
standard or custom clamping hardware. With the 
correct clamping hardware, this faceplate will 
hold non-cylindrical parts.

Because chucks are heavy and often awkward to 
hold, some kind of lifting, support, or protective 
device should be used during installation or 
removal. The weight and size of the chuck will 
determine the appropriate device to use (refer to 
the following figure for examples).

This lathe is equipped with a D1-type spindle

chuck or faceplate with repeatable precision and 
ease.
