A Step-By-Step Guide To Installing Chucks

Installing, replacing or performing routine maintenance of a chuck may seem like a no-brainer but, as is often the case, carefully following a step-by-step procedure makes the job easier, safer and worry-free.

In this Chuck Installation Guide video, Haas demonstrates precisely how to remove and reinstall a 10” power chuck on an ST-30 CNC lathe.

Helpful tips include the correct way to unbind the draw nut, including using a lift to apply tension to the chuck to minimize the load on the draw nut and prevent thread damage.

The video also covers removing lighter weight 6” and 8” chucks, installing collet chucks and adjusting the runout of a manual chuck on a TL-1 Toolroom Lathe.
