- First part of a series of videos that describe lathe work holding devices more specifically this video looks at the advantages and disadvantages of three jaw chucks, four jaw chucks and 5C collets. As for all Thatlazymachinist videos, this video is aimed at the novice machinist who wishes to develop proper basic work skills. In this video we look at different work holding accessories used on lathes and what would motivate us to choose one over the other. This video is part of a free online machine shop course accessible to everyone on my webpage THATLAZYMACHINIST.COM . No sign up, no subscription and no hassle, it's all free and always will be. As for all of my machine shop videos, this video is specifically produced for novice machinists. Thanks for understanding that I am a professional toolmaker and teacher but I am not a professional video producer (and it shows). I produce these videos for fun as a little retirement project that lets me give back a little of what was passed on to me by so many amazing trades people, most of whom, sadly, are no longer with us.

I've worked in the Machine shop since I was 16 and am now 70.. but I never miss your videos. I never fail to pick up some new understanding, a little bit of new knowledge, or a different way to do something.
Thank you for taking the time to make the videos.
Was a machinist for 40 years, almost 70 now, very good explanation of chucks. Always used 4 Jaw chucks, and first thing I did on my home lathe was remove the 3 Jaw chuck and install a 4 Jaw chuck.
I've watched about 5 or 6 of your videos and just realized I didn't have you subscribed yet. Fixed.
Marc, you are a natural teacher and have a brilliant mind.
I really enjoy your videos I’m new to machining and you go to great length to make them
You had me at "...it aint gonna happen right now..." :))
Hey. I think you shouldn't be afraid to go over the 30 min limit. I actually thought this tutorial was quite essential. Very good info about the inner workings of a 3 J Chuck. I mean I've been using them for a long time and I had to find out things the hard way. I wish I had seen a video like this years ago.
Really enjoy your presentations! I love your levity!
Great video! And thank you for explaining everything in such great detail. I wish more people would do this. Never assume anyone automatically knows anything. Thank you again
Nice easy to follow, I will be checking out your other videos
thanks for sharing, and i enjoy your signs with words of wisdom.
Hi Marc,
I know that what I write repeatedly on my comments is how much "educational and informative are your videos". The truth is that as an amateur machinist I use the lathe or my drill press only when I need to make a tool or something for my shop, so your videos are reference points for me! Thanks for your time, on making videos for us!
Your friend
Dimitris
P.S. One of my favorite videos is Trig & triangles shop math!!
Nice presentation as usual Marc. :-)
nice video Mark,thank you,......thanks for sharing.....Ray
Great Video's I'm learning Thanks
Great video!
I enjoyed that, thank you.
Very informative
Well done thank you!!
I enjoy your explanations though I admit to watching most technical videos including yours at 1.5 x speed. No harm in that and my remark certainly is not a call to speed things up. Keep up the good work.
Dear Marc, thank you very much
Lesson: 56
Marc,
I have a six jaw Buck chuck and the owners manual recommend to use the master key (which is marked) for maximum accuracy. I could not figure out why, please explain why are they doing that?
Thank you for your dedication and care for all you do and share. Your videos are very educating, entertaining and pleasant to watch.
Nice videos. What about 4 and 6 jaw self centering chucks?
Fewww.... Really boring! Just kidding. Thank you for sharing your time and many talents!
Never seen a chuck with one key hole before !
One thing i feel you should have touched on is why you never put a piece of pipe over the end of the tee handle of a chuck key to get it tighter - it can kill a chuck real easy .
I hope you will touch on how to fix a 3 jaw chuck that has excessive runout ( grinding the jaws ) and i would like to hear your thoughts on chuck lubrication as this is a real can of worms for some .
Excellent video Marc !

Hi Marc , you don't talk too much and i will never understand why anyone would complain about longer videos - longer means more for free ! You are still the number one for educational videos on machining and workshop practice , i always try to point newcomers to machining towards your channel because i know they will learn a lot from you !
The funny thing is the same people that whine about long videos probably whine about short ones as well ! You simply can't please them !
Is there any PB jaws in existence? They fit on a chuck that has 630mm OD
Very small 3 jaw chucks, do in fact often have reversable chuck jaws. Both sides of the teeth are convex and in some cases are really just round pins.
I have a small 45mm 3 jaw chuck which is reversible, except when reversing instead of putting jaw 1 in chuck slot 1, I have to put jaw 3 in chuck slot 1, jaw 2 in chuck slot 2 and jaw 1 in slot 3 so that it centers properly.
I fell asleep. can you repeat the last part? Good video thanks.
😃
The 3-jaw chucks I have also have only 1 key hole. But every drill chuck I can recall seeing has three key spots, and if you need to chuck tightly, you have to tighten all three. I know they are constructed differently, but maybe that is why people ask about only tightening one on a 3-jaw.
No, you do not need to tighten all three. The chuck key drives a single ring gear which you can plainly see on the outside of the chuck, just like the 3-jaw self-centering lathe chuck has a single crown gear / scroll driven by three pinion gears.
The scroll has some clearance in the chuck body and binds against the chuck body as well as rotating when tightened. Using the other key positions relieves the binding, alowing the scroll to be rotated a little more with less friction.
Argh, every time you said c5 instead of 5C really ground my ears :)
Sorry about that, I have always said it backwards. I checked some old videos and discovered that I have been saying it backwards since forever in both English and French. Thanks for the heads up and I will try to say it in the proper order in the part two video. Thanks also for taking the time to watch and comment, Marc.
For the education we receive, say it anyway you wish :-)
