Product Description
The Axminster Woodturning GK88 Discovery Chuck is the perfect introduction for anyone looking to start woodturning. It is the smallest in the range of Axminster Chucks; its light and compact size makes it ideal for a variety of lathe models but ideally suited for small to medium size lathes. The GK88 Discovery Chucks are all precision engineered and made entirely in Axminster, UK, to ensure they deliver CNC accurate results. The GK88 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. The 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 GK88 chuck features Axminster's latest SafetyJaw accessory mounting jaws. Pair the chuck with our great range of 88mm jaws to suit your project needs.
Available in sizes of 1" x 8 TPI, 1 1/4" 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 lathes with a M33 x 3.5mm Euro standard ASR spindle and requires the 109370 ASR Locking Ring for the chuck to be run in reverse. If you're looking to take up woodturning, this chuck is the perfect size to explore this captivating and creative hobby.
