Proxxon DB 250 Lathe Black Four Jaw Chuck (27024)

The Proxxon DB 250 Lathe Black Four Jaw Chuck (27024) is a specialized accessory crafted for the Proxxon DB 250 Micro Woodturning Lathe. This independent chuck is specifically engineered to securely hold asymmetrical or irregularly shaped workpieces, such as rectangles, which standard three-jaw chucks cannot accommodate. Its design allows for precise clamping of various materials, ensuring stability and accuracy during turning operations. The chuck directly attaches to the DB 250 headstock spindle, making it a straightforward addition to your turning setup. Manufactured by Proxxon, a company known for German precision engineering, this chuck expands the versatility of your miniature lathe for a wide range of creative and precise projects.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Asymmetrical Workpiece Clamping: Specifically designed to clamp non-round objects like rectangles, providing stable support for diverse turning projects that require holding irregular shapes.
• Independent Jaw Adjustment: Each of the four jaws can be adjusted independently, allowing for highly precise centering and secure gripping of custom or irregular workpieces, ensuring optimal alignment for accurate turning.
• Versatile Clamping Ranges: Features reversible jaws that enable both internal and external clamping. It can hold workpieces internally from 0 to 35mm and externally from 14 to 67mm, offering flexibility for various material sizes.
• Direct Lathe Integration: The chuck screws directly onto the M16 x 1 thread of the Proxxon DB 250 Micro Woodturning Lathe's headstock spindle, ensuring a secure and stable connection without the need for additional adapters.
• Enhances Lathe Capabilities: Extends the functionality of your Proxxon DB 250 lathe, allowing you to undertake a broader spectrum of turning tasks that involve non-cylindrical forms, such as custom furniture components or unique decorative items.

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure your Proxxon DB 250 Micro Woodturning Lathe is turned off and unplugged from the power source before installing or adjusting the chuck.
2. Attach Chuck: Align the threaded opening of the Proxxon 27024 Four Jaw Chuck with the M16 x 1 spindle thread on the DB 250 lathe's headstock. Carefully screw the chuck onto the spindle until it is hand-tight and secure.
3. Insert Workpiece (Internal Clamping): If clamping a piece from the inside (e.g., a hollow tube), open the jaws by rotating the adjustment screws. Insert the workpiece into the jaws and then carefully tighten each jaw screw individually until the workpiece is held firmly and centered as desired.
4. Insert Workpiece (External Clamping): If clamping a solid piece from the outside (e.g., a square block), you may need to reverse the jaws if they are set for internal clamping. Then, open the jaws, place the workpiece between them, and individually tighten each jaw screw until the workpiece is securely clamped and aligned.
5. Check Security: Before operating the lathe, gently try to move the clamped workpiece by hand to confirm it is held firmly and will not slip during turning.
6. Operation: Once the workpiece is securely clamped, you can plug in and turn on your Proxxon DB 250 lathe and begin your turning operation at the appropriate speed setting.
7. Removal: After turning is complete, turn off and unplug the lathe. Loosen the jaw screws to release the workpiece, then unscrew the chuck from the spindle if you need to remove it.
