The Viper3 chuck is the best selling size from the Charnwood Viper range. A 4″ sized scroll chuck, with the jaws adjusted by a geared mechanism for simple one handed operation. Self-centring, high precision design. Ideal for Midi sized lathes and upwards. The fully enclosed design prevents the build up of chips and dust inside the gear mechanism. For lathes with reverse direction, locking screws allow the chuck to be locked onto the lathe spindle. The standard dovetail jaws can grip the work piece both internally or externally depending on the style and shape of the piece to be turned. Pin jaws allow smaller pieces to held than the standard jaws. The inside is smooth and parallel, the outside is serrated for maximum grip. The Stepped jaws have a serrated edge both internally and externally. They give great flexibility by combining standard sized jaws and pin jaws. The Wide jaws have a serrated edge both internally and externally and can grip much larger pieces than the standard jaws. The Face Plate ring has a 75mm outside diameter and has a dovetail shaped inside which can be gripped by using the standard Viper3 jaws. The Drive Centre allows spindles to be turned without removing your chuck from the lathe. We also include a wood screw which clamps into the centre of the chuck for the initial mounting of bowl blanks. The chuck fits directly onto lathes with headstock thread size M33 x 3.5tpi. That means 33mm diameter and 3.5 thread turns per inch. If your lathe has a different sized spindle thread you will also need to purchase a thread adaptor to use this chuck.
