A Lathe chuck is one of the most important devices in the lathe machine it is used for holding and rotating a piece of work while performing a lathe operation.
The workpiece of short length and large diameter of irregular shape which cannot be conveniently mounted between centers are held quickly and rigidly in a chuck.
A chuck is attached to the lathe spindle by means of bolts with the backplate screwed onto the spindle nose. Accurate alignment of the chuck with the lathe axis is affected by spigot ting.
