Mounting the Titan III Chuck on a Lathe
CORRECT MOUNTING OF CHUCK TO LATHE SPINDLE IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO ACHIEVE ACCURACY.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE CHUCK IS NOT USED
ON LATHE SPINDLES UNDER 1in (25mm) diameter.
FITTING CHUCK TO LATHE
Correct fitting of chuck to lathe spindle is important to ensure accuracy.
The chuck body must contact an accurate shoulder on the lathe
spindle or bearings to ensure chuck will run true.
There can be a wide variety of lathe spindle thread and spigot
dimensions even within the same thread size. The internal thread size
is kept to standard tolerances.
CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
Although the Chuck may screw on part way it may not contact
properly with spindle spigot - a spacer may be necessary. This
would be the responsibility of the chuck user. Make sure the chuck is
screwed to lathe thread properly - a good check is to see whether it
screws home on the spindle same as any another lathe fixture such as
a faceplate.
POOR FIT OF CHUCK TO LATHE SPINDLE CREATES
A SERIOUS HAZARD WHERE CHUCK COULD DISLODGE FROM
LATHE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE CHUCK UNLESS THE CHUCK
IS CORRECTLY FITTED TO LATHE SPINDLE
