Robert Sorby Patriot Chuck

Product Description

This version of the Patriot chuck is supplied without an insert or exert. Inserts are available separately here.

The Patriot lathe chuck was developed by Robert Sorby after many years of experience in selling, marketing and distributing another chuck. Hence the design incorporates all the key features which turners look for in a scroll chuck:

– compact design which does not strain lathe bearings yet is ideal for all sizes of project
– inserted system so there is a size to fit almost every lathe
– all jaws are perfectly matched so there is no need for tiresome number matching
– the single key operation with positive location requires only the lightest of touches
– key is articulated to allow access behind large projects
– true compression angles on drive and driven gear ensure smooth operation every time
– jaws stops prevent slides from working loose
– wide selection of useful jaws give additional versatility
– jaws dovetailed on inside and outside face
– additional serrated teeth on jaws give extra grip (see below)
– enclosed back protects gearing against dust
– backplate is removable for easy maintenance and cleaning
– comes complete with 2″ jaws and woodscrew
– English instruction manual supplied

These chucks are all made in Sheffield, England
