Available to fit both old and latest Warco Mini Lathes - please check below for more details.

Back plate fitting

• These backplates are supplied machined to fit to the appropriate hobby lathe spindle, and plain on the other side.

• Machining / drilling will be required on this 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.
