This is an extremely well engineered, beautifully finished chuck that is operated by a T-handled allen key rather than tommy bars. This advancement means that where you needed three hands to operate a chuck with tommy bars - one to hold the work piece and two to tighten the chuck, you now only require two hands! Made from high quality medium tensile steel which gives the chuck greater durability, this chuck is engineered to hold work pieces and bowls etc, up to 500mm in diameter. The precision machined scroll mechanism offers a smooth jaw movement and the enclosed chuck back prevents the ingress of dust and shavings to give a continually high performance for the life of the chuck. High ratio gearing gives the jaws an incredibly strong grip ensuring the work piece is held securely whatever its size. A useful addition to this chuck is the on board indexing ring, which is ideal when adding decoration to your work with a drill. This chuck is supplied with a 3/4" x 16tpi threaded adaptor and is directly threaded 1" x 8tpi allowing it to be used with all popular lathes and reduces the risk of having to buy a new chuck if you upgrade your lathe. The chuck comes with a set of standard jaws offering an expansion grip of 70mm and a compression grip of 55mm, a wood screw for mounting smaller pieces and a fast action allen key. Other compatible jaw sets are available and have product codes beginning with XT700. This precision scroll chuck represents exceptional value for money, is perfectly balanced and will allow for the positive holding and turning of bowls, candlesticks, goblets, boxes and many, many more projects. Highly recommended by Rutlands Ltd. ©

10 Year Guarantee - The 10 year guarantee on the Dakota precision scroll chuck means that it will be free of any manufacturing defects. If a customer finds any manufacturing related defect, either the product or faulty component will be replaced free of charge.

I have just upgraded from a Record collet chuck that i found very clumsy to operate. This is in a different league, you simply insert the allen key, rotate and the jaws glide in to position. I've just turned an 8" bowl from square stock and the chuck didn't even flinch.

This chuck is identical to the Record Vicmarc chuck that sells for more than £150. I am told that they come from the same factory. When I bought this Dakota chuck I was turning on a Record lathe with a 3/4" x 16tpi thread, since then I have upgraded to the Fox Professional Lathe with a 1" x 8 thread. The great thing is that the Dakota chuck comes with both 3/4 x 16 and 1" x 8tpi adaptors, so that I did not have to buy a new chuck. Well done Dakota.

I bought this chuck for my Fox Proffessional lathe and i think that it is safe to say this was the best decision i have ever made. This chuck has held stock from 10mm to 100mm very securly making it excellent for use when i am turning bowls and pens for the price it is it made my day. Well done Rutlands i will be buying from your catalogue again!!

Excellent Chuck. Excellent value for money. As a bonus my Vicmarc jaws are interchangeable. I have recommended this to others, who have bought and been equally delighted. I am seriously considering buying another whilst still on offer and before the VAT rise.

A really superb chuck. It does everything claimed for it and more. I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and really put it through its paces - it achieves everything I ask of it. Over the years I've used most types of chuck but this one really is the tops.

This is an amazing piece of equipment. I find that I can do over 90% of my turning work using this Dakota chuck. It also takes those home made bowl and work piece holders that we put together to save a few quid.It truly has bocome my best mate in my workshop (shed). Thank you Rutlands for stocking this nugget.

Again a great product and service from Rutlands. I bought this to use as a second chuck alongside a Supernova 2 and am very impressed. Its a fantastic quality chuck - well finished, much better than I expected at its price. It comes with a good quality wood screw aswell. As an earlier review says Supernova 2 jaws will fit this chuck but not vice versa. If youre in the market for a chuck treat yourself to one of these, its just as capable as probably any of its MUCH more expensive competition.

I've been searching ages for an affordable lathe chuck and recently I bought this one. Put simply, it's superb, build quality is excellent and the added extras you get are a real bonus. So if you want a well engineered chuck at a very reasonable price, this is the one.
