Backplate fitting

Backplates are supplied machined to fit to the appropriate lathe spindle on one side, and plain on the other side.

• Backplate machining will be required on the unmachined side to suit your particular application, which is a straightforward procedure.

• To ensure absolute accuracy, it is necessary to machine a suitable spigot on the backplate to match the register in the back of the chuck.

• Due to the various chuck PCDs, it is also necessary to drill and possibly tap the backplate to accept whichever chuck is being mounted.

 

Collet chucks

• Back plates are ideal for mounting a collet chuck to a lathe.

• Collet chucks available in ER 25, ER 32 or 5C sizes here.
