TOP-TOOL 500mm / 20-Inch 4-Jaw Independent Lathe Chuck, Plain Back, Clamping Range 35–500 mm (1.38–19.69 in), T-Key
Professional 500mm / 20-Inch 4-Jaw Independent Lathe Chuck (Plain Back)
The TOP-TOOL four-jaw independent chuck holds round, square, rectangular, and irregular parts by adjusting each jaw separately. Unlike a self-centering scroll chuck, you can dial in concentricity with a dial indicator or intentionally offset the work for boring or turning eccentric features. This listing is the plain back configuration—machine an adapter plate to match D1, D2, and the bolt pattern (adapter not included).
Envelope reference: combined internal-jaw and external-jaw ranges cover approximately 35–500 mm (1.38–19.69 in) depending on jaw orientation and setup.
Materials
| Component | Material |

Clamping ranges
Internal jaws (A–A1): 35–300 mm — typical OD gripping with jaws in the standard orientation.
External jaws (B–B1): 125–500 mm — clamping larger diameters / reverse-jaw style holding per factory chart.
Use the jaw positions and factory instructions that match your operation; the overall span above is a quick reference only.
