Removing/Installing Chuck or
Faceplate
The C8 spindle nose mounting system uses a circular
lock plate with slotted holes that are oversized at one
end (keyholes). When the lock plate is rotated counter-
clockwise (as facing the chuck), the studs with moun-
ting nuts can pass through the spindle nose. When
the lock plate is rotated toward the back of the lathe,
the oversized holes narrow to the size of the studs, al-
lowing the mounting nuts to be tightened against the
back of the lock plate, thus, securing the chuck or fa-
ceplate.
To remove a chuck or faceplate from the lathe spindle
nose, do these steps:
