Axminster Essential SK88 Chuck (Body Only)

The Axminster Woodturning Discovery GK88 Chuck is the perfect introduction for anyone looking to start woodturning. It is the smallest in the range; its light and compact size makes it ideal for a variety of lathe models, but ideally suited to small to medium size lathes. Supplied as the chuck only body with interchangeable backplate.

The GK88 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. 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 our latest SafetyJaw accessory mounting jaws. Pair the chuck with our great range of 88mm jaws to suit your project needs.
