The chuck is usually connected to the lathe by one of three methods: a camlock (figure 1) , a taper (figure 2), or a thread (figure3). The back side of the chuck will reveal that it connects to the lathe via one of these methods. It is important to protect both taper and threads from impact, as any dings or chips in this area of the chuck will cause misalignment. | |||||||||||||||
