A 3-jaw lathe chuck built to centre and hold workpieces reliably, VEVOR 3-Jaw Self-Centering Lathe Chuck. Confidence during turning and drilling helps reduce scrap and shorten setups. Is the build quality and accuracy right for your workshop needs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Clamping Precision: Bearing tolerance ≤0.05 mm enables repeatable concentricity
- • Best for: Small to medium workshops and hobby machinists needing reliable centring
- • Not ideal for: Heavy industrial turning beyond a 6 inch chuck capacity
Self-centring 3-jaw chuck with reversible internal and external jaws, covering 3.5–160 mm. Hardened 20Cr jaws and HT300 body improve wear resistance and stability.
Accurate centring, with precision bevel gear and three pinion gears
Delicate bevel gear and three pinion gears translate rotation into uniform jaw movement, achieving a bearing tolerance of ≤0.05 mm.
Consistent concentric clamping reduces setup time and lowers the risk of rework during turning and drilling.
Long-lasting performance, with HT300 body and hardened 20Cr jaws
Quenching hardened HT300 construction pairs with 20Cr steel jaws at 53HRC and a 40Cr scroll at 45HRC to resist wear and deformation.
Durable materials maintain grip and geometry through repeated machining, cutting down on maintenance and jaw replacement.
Flexible clamping range, with reversible internal and external jaws
Reversible jaws enable both internal and external clamping, covering a range of 3.5–160 mm adjusted using the supplied T-key fixing screws.
Quick switching between small and larger workpieces makes mixed batch runs more efficient in a busy workshop.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for VEVOR 3-Jaw Self-Centering Lathe Chuck
- Hardened jaw and scroll - Maintains grip under heavy machining, preserving jaw geometry over time
- Smooth self-centring action - Reduces setup time and ensures repeatable concentricity across batches
- Reversible internal and external jaws - Switches between inside and outside clamping for versatile part sizes
- T-key fixing screws - Simple adjustment secures jaws quickly without complex tools or alignment
