The Axminster Woodturning Discovery GK100 Chuck is the perfect introduction for anyone looking to start woodturning. The GK100 Discovery chuck is ideal for a variety of lathe models but ideally more suited medium sized lathes. Supplied as the chuck only body with interchangeable backplate.
The GK100 chucks are all precision engineered and made entirely in Axminster, UK, to ensure they deliver CNC accurate results. The GK100 chuck features a geared key, stainless-steel body and interchangeable backplate for effective corrosion resistance. These chucks won’t rust, either from condensation in a cold workshop or the sap from green wood. Stainless steel body is machined to exact tolerances for a perfect fit of both jaws and lathe spindle.
The interchangeable backplate allows you to keep your chuck body when upgrading your lathe, saving you time and money; simply choose the suitable backplate for your new lathe thread and attach to the chuck body. Upon first purchase of your chuck, choose the correct thread for your lathe.
The GK100 chuck features our latest SafetyJaw accessory mounting jaws. Pair the chuck with our great range of stainless steel jaws to suit your project needs.
Available in sizes 1” x 8 tpi, 3/4” x 16 tpi and M33 x 3.5mm. The M33 x 3.5mm thread is a universal thread, that combines the standard M33 x 3.5mm thread, allows you to add an ASR Locking Ring as well as grub screws to turn in reverse, all in one thread. Suitable for standard M33 x 3.5mm threads and lathes with an ASR spindle for running in reverse. If want to run in reverse, you require a lathe with an M33 x 3.5mm EURO standard (ASR) spindle and the 109370 ASR Locking Ring (sold separately).
If you're looking to take up or enhance your woodturning, then this is the perfect choice to explore this captivating and creative hobby.
All made entirely in our manufacturing facility, in Axminster, UK using CNC technology for accurate results.
To ensure the chuck is assembled safely, secure the chuck front to the chuck backplate (threaded insert) using the 4 x M6 x 25mm screws and ensure they are tightened to 12NM (Newton-Metres). Please ensure the 2 x M5 Grub Screws are tightened to 2NM.
