The Axminster Woodturning GK100 Discovery Chuck was introduced in 2025 to replace the SK100 Clubman. This chuck is the perfect introduction for anyone looking to start woodturning and works on a variety of lathe models but is ideal for medium sized lathes. Supplied as a chuck body kit with an interchangeable backplate.
The GK100 Discovery Chucks are precision engineered and made entirely in Axminster, UK, to ensure they deliver CNC accurate results. The GK100 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. 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.
