Backplate for Warco Lathes

Backplate for Warco Lathes

Backplates allow the mounting of collet chucks or alternative lathe chucks.

Available to fit a large range of Warco lathes both new and old - see the tables below for more details.

Back plate fitting

• Backplates are supplied machined to fit to the appropriate lathe spindle on one side, and unmachined on the front side.

• Backplate drilling and machining will be required on the plain front side to suit your particular application, ie whichever chuck you would like to use. 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.
