22″ 4-Jaw Lathe Chuck – Heavy-Duty Workholding for Precision Turning
Enhance the capability of your lathe with this 22″ 4-Jaw Chuck. A versatile and robust workholding solution ideal for machining large and difficult-to-hold workpieces. Whether you’re doing turning, facing, drilling or custom profiling, a 4-jaw chuck offers flexibility and control that’s essential for professional and hobbyist machinists alike.
Precision & Strength You Can Rely On
This 22-inch diameter chuck is designed for demanding workshop use, providing a large clamping surface to grip oversized or irregular stock with confidence. Four independently adjustable jaws make it easy to centre non-round shapes such as squares, rectangles or hexagons, something a conventional 3-jaw chuck can struggle with.
-
Independent Jaw Adjustment: Each jaw can be moved individually to centre workpieces with high accuracy, giving you exceptional control over alignment and run-out.
-
Large Clamping Range: The 22″ body offers an extensive holding capacity. Ideal for larger lathes and heavy turning tasks. (Exact ranges can be added if known from your item.)
Why a 4-Jaw Chuck?
A 4-jaw chuck is one of the most versatile chucks a metal lathe can use:
-
Ideal for Irregular Shapes: Unlike self-centring 3-jaw chucks, each jaw on a 4-jaw is adjustable – allowing you to accurately centre odd shapes.
-
Superior Grip: Four strong points of contact help grip both round and non-round stock securely for heavy cuts or complicated profiles.
-
Repeatability: With careful setup, you can achieve excellent repeat precision on multiple parts – a key benefit for production work.
Workshop & Lathe Compatibility
This chuck is a core accessory for metalworking, compatible with a wide range of lathes depending on spindle nose, mounting style and backplate configuration. For larger lathes, a 22″ chuck gives the capacity needed for substantial workpieces – tubes, rings, flanges and plates – all held securely throughout machining.
Used but Reliable
As a used item, this chuck represents excellent value. All jaws and mounting surfaces have been checked to ensure they are in good working condition, and the chuck is ready to be mounted and used in your workshop.
