Which lathe chuck can hold the most difficult workpiece shapes?

The 4-Jaw independent chuck. Due to its independent jaws it can grip the most complex shapes. 3-Jaw and 4-Jaw self centering chucks are only capable of gripping cylindrical and hexagonal (3-Jaw self-centering) or cylindrical, square and octagonal (4-Jaw self-centering) shapes.


What is the purpose of a 3 jaw chuck and what shapes do they hold?

The three-jaw chuck is a self-centering device used on machine-tools like Lathes. It consists of 3 jaws, set on a round face-plate at an angle of 120 degrees to each other. Each jaw moves away, or towards the centre, taking the other two with it. In this way, the distance from the centre to the three jaws is always equal. The jaws can be rotated to grip work internally (example: a hollow cylinder) or externally (example a solid bar). Because of the geometry of the jaws, they can hold cylindrical work, triangular sections, hexagonal sections etc. For holding square sections or irregular sections, a 4-jaw, independent chuck is available.
