Versatile Applications
- Lathe: General turning, facing, drilling, boring
- Milling Machine: Workpiece holding for milling
- Drilling Machine: Precision drilling setups
- CNC Machine: Light CNC turning and production
Compatibility Guide
Suitable for small benchtop lathes.
Sizing Rule: Lathe swing diameter > Chuck diameter (100mm). Allow clearance for jaw extension. A swing of ≥130mm is ideal.
Maintenance
Regularly clean the scroll mechanism and apply Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) grease to the scroll teeth and bevel gears. Store in a dry environment.
