Mounting Jaws
1. Clean top and bottom jaws with mineral spir-
its. When dry, apply a thin coat of ISO 32 or
equivalent oil to the mating surfaces.
The safety set screw under bottom jaw #4
(see example below) prevents the jaws from
moving beyond safe engagement with the
scroll gear. Unsecured jaws could fly off the
chuck during operation resulting in serious
personal injury to operator or bystanders.
Always make sure this set screw is prop-
erly installed and tightened when using the
chuck.
2. Place top jaws on bottom jaws so alignment
rings (see example below) fit into alignment
slots and screw holes are aligned.
Note: Make sure stamped numbers of chuck
jaw guide, bottom jaw, and top chuck corre-
spond with each other to ensure jaws safely
and evenly grip workpiece.

3. Apply a thin coat of ISO 32 or equivalent oil
to cap screw threads to prevent screws from
seizing under operational forces.
4. Thread the cap screws through the top jaws
into the bottom jaws and finger tighten them,
then back them off 1⁄4 turn.
5. Use chuck key to converge jaws to the center
so they are evenly up against one another
and even in height.
6. Fully tighten cap screws—do not overtighten.
7. Check jaw alignment. They should be evenly
up against one another with no gaps and
even in height.
—If this is not the case, repeat this procedure
until they are.

To mount the chuck onto the lathe:
Chuck Types
The best jaw type to use is the one that will pro-
vide the greatest contact between the jaw and the
workpiece—this provides the best gripping power!
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Thoroughly clean threads of spindle and
chuck bore with mineral spirits and a stiff
brush.
Round Jaws
Round jaws (or dovetail jaws) are typically either
closed around a tenon (or foot) turned on the bot-
tom of a bowl, or they are expanded into a recess
cut into the workpiece. The tenon is later removed
with the workpiece mounted on the flat jaws.
3. Properly mount top jaws onto bottom jaws.
4. To prevent chuck binding to spindle under
operational forces, apply a thin coat of ISO
32 or equivalent oil to spindle threads.
A dowel workpiece can also be fed through the
center of the chuck and spindle bore, and gripped
with center surfaces of the jaw flats. As each
piece is turned and cut off, the dowel can be
advanced for the next piece.
5. Thread chuck onto spindle and hand tighten.
It should screw on without binding or exces-
sive play.
6. Lock spindle in place.
The #2 round jaws have a slight dovetail profile. If
a matching profile is cut into the recess, the jaws
can expand with much greater gripping power.
7. Back chuck off slightly, then quickly rotate
chuck onto spindle. This will firmly seat the
chuck.
#2 Round Jaws
Indexing
The chuck back plate has indents and num-
bers for performing indexing operations. Indexing
allows the circumference of the workpiece to be
divided into equal segments.
An indexing arm (not included) is required to take
advantage of this feature. Research books and
the internet to better understand the process,
what is required, and how to perform indexing
operations.
The #3 round jaws can hold much larger
workpieces than the #2 round jaws and have
ridges that press into the wood for a better grip.
#3 Round Jaws
When mounting workpiece on jaws, do not
contact workpiece with the lower flat of
jaws. This provides better gripping power
and avoids any inconsistencies between
surfaces that would interfere with true rota-
tion.

#2 Round Jaws:
Pin Jaws
Outside Grip Range ............................. 13⁄4"–37⁄8
Inside Grip Range ................................21⁄2"–45⁄8
"
"
Pin jaws are typically used to expand into a deep
recess cut into a bowl-shaped workpiece for initial
roughing of the outside and tenon (or foot).
#3 Round Jaws:
Outside Grip Range .............................33⁄4"–57⁄8
Inside Grip Range ................................47⁄8"–67⁄8
"
"
When used to grip the inside of a recess, the
advantage to pin jaws over step or round jaws is
that they offer a lot of surface area for gripping.
They also have ridges on the outside for greater
gripping power. The disadvantage is that the
recess must be fairly deep. However, this is usu-
ally cut into the waste portion of the workpiece
and removed later.
Round Jaws

The smooth center surface of the pin jaws can
also grip externally around a small tenon on
objects such as Christmas ornaments, wooden
tops, lace bobbins, or other delicate work without
marring the workpiece.

Step Jaws
Flat Jaws (or Cole Jaws)
The step jaws have two outside profiles of differ-
ent circumferences designed to expand into the
recess cut into the workpiece. The surfaces of the
jaws have ridges that push into the wood which
increases the gripping power.
Used with included grip studs, flat jaws are pri-
marily used to finish the bottom of a bowl-type
workpiece (see examples below). The included
studs are 13 and 18mm in height and are rubber
coated to prevent marring. Use the stud set and
configuration that has the most surface contact
with the workpiece.
The center surfaces of the step jaws are ridged
and can grip a dowel-type workpiece from the
outside that is fed through the chuck and spindle
bore.
Basically, step jaws combine the capabilities of
the round jaws and the pin jaws, but are much
more versatile than either of those jaws alone.

Woodworm Screw
Bottom Jaw Removal & Installation
The woodworm screw is typically used with the
#2 round jaw set for holding small items. Refer to
the illustration below for closing the round jaws
around the base of the screw.
If it is necessary to remove the bottom jaws for
maintenance or replacement, follow these steps
to ensure the jaws will safely and evenly grip
workpieces.
To remove the bottom jaws:
Woodworm Screw
1. Remove top jaws.
2. Using chuck key, bring bottom jaws together
in center of chuck. This will provide access to
safety set screw.
3. Remove safety set screw under bottom jaw
#4 (see example below) and set it aside.
The woodworm screw has a very coarse 45°
thread that provides a positive grip in the wood.
Using the woodworm screw is an easy way to
mount a blank workpiece, but does not provide the
gripping power that the other jaws do. For heavy,
unbalanced workpieces or ones that require more
gripping power, use one of the jaw types or screw
the workpiece to a faceplate.
Safety
Set Screw
When using the woodworm screw, make sure the
workpiece is as round as possible, then drill a 5⁄16"
x 11⁄4" hole in the waste portion of the workpiece.
Thread the workpiece onto the screw until it is
seated firmly against the chuck.
4. Insert chuck key and rotate it counterclock-
wise to move the bottom jaws away from
center of chuck.
5. Remove jaws one by one as they disengage
from the scroll gear.

To re-install the bottom jaws:
Maintenance
Clean and lubricate the chuck on a regular basis
to ensure the jaws move in and out evenly, can
be properly secured to the chuck, and provide a
solid grip.
1. Clean bottom jaws and jaw guides with min-
eral spirits. When dry, apply a thin coat of ISO
32 or equivalent oil to the mating surfaces.
2. Make sure safety set screw is properly
Cleaning
installed in jaw guide #4.
Brush chips and dust off the chuck and jaws. Do
not use pressurized air that can drive the debris
farther into the chuck.
3. Rotate chuck key clockwise until you see
the tip of scroll gear lead thread just begin to
enter jaw guide #1 (see below).
If resin builds up on the sliding surfaces making
the chuck difficult to operate, soak the chuck and
jaws for 30 minutes in mineral spirits with 10%
ISO 32 or equivalent oil added. Drain thoroughly
and allow to dry.

May Vary
Lubrication
1. Apply a thin coat of ISO 32 or equivalent oil
to all outside surfaces of bottom and top jaws,
and chuck body.
2. Turn the chuck upside down and remove the
two Phillips head screws that secure back
plate, then remove back plate (see example
below).
4. Insert bottom jaw #1 into jaw guide #1, and
hold jaw against scroll gear.
5. Rotate chuck key clockwise one turn to
engage tip of scroll gear lead thread with bot-
tom jaw. Pull the jaw; it should be locked into
jaw guide.

6. Install the remaining jaws in numerical order,
in the same manner. If installed correctly, the
jaws will converge evenly at center of chuck.
—If jaws do not converge evenly, remove
them. Make sure stamped numbers of
bottom jaws and jaw guides match, then
re-install jaws and make sure each one
engages with scroll gear lead thread during
its first rotation.
3. Add several drops of ISO 32 or equivalent oil
to pinion gears, then use chuck key to rotate
scroll gear back and forth to evenly distribute
the lubricant.
4. Replace the back plate before using chuck in
operations.
