Axminster Threaded Inserts for Chucks, Faceplates etc.

See Specification for available thread fittings.
These threaded inserts are fitted to some of the range of Axminster chucks, faceplates and woodscrew chucks; they carry the thread which secures the item to the headstock of the lathe and are secured to the chuck, faceplate, etc with four hexagon socket screws. The use of a separate threaded insert both simplifies the manufacture of the chuck and makes it possible to use it on lathes with different headstock threads by changing the insert rather than the complete chuck.
Before ordering an insert please ensure that your chuck, faceplate or woodscrew chuck is of the type that will accept an insert and does not have the thread machined directly into the body.
