Back plate fitting

• Backplates are supplied machined to fit to the appropriate lathe spindle.
• Backplate drilling and machining will be required on the front side to suit your particular application - ie whichever chuck is going to be installed.
• This is a straightforward procedure:
• To ensure absolute accuracy, it is necessary to machine a suitable spigot on the backplate to match the register in the back of the chuck.Due to the various chuck PCDs, it is also necessary to drill and possibly tap the backplate to accept whichever chuck is being mounted.
