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.
The package is part of the workpiece.
The swing of a lathe can be increased if the gap-bed section is removed, providing the lathe has this option and the workpiece is not longer than the gap when clamped in the chuck.
On a wood turning lathe, the faceplate is screwed to the piece of wood, then the faceplate is held in place by the chuck. This facilitates free-wheeling the opposite end for such items as bowls. Almost similar to a wood turning lathe, the face plate on a metal lathe is a device that is used instead of a chuck. It allows a workpiece to be clamped or bolted to it for machining.
Milling in a lathe can be two things:A cutter is gripped in the chuck and a workpiece the the tool post. The work piece is then milled by using the feed on the lathe. Although it has been done, it is an unconventional method and is not recommended.A 3-in-1 lathe with a milling attachment as part of the machine used for milling a work piece.
The bed of a lathe is the central beam that runs down the machine. The head, which holds and turns the workpiece, is fixed at one end, there is a tailstock at the other end which can be adjusted along the bed, and usually a carraige in between, which holds turning tools. The workpiece that can be turned in the lathe is limited to what will fit in the head without hitting the bed. A gap bed lathe has a gap in the bed near the head, so a larger workpiece can be turned.

this is a vertical turret lathe you stand the workpiece on a horizontal chuck
A 3-jaw chuck is the device attached to the spindle of the lathe that clamps and rotates the workpiece for machining. This type of chuck is self-centering which means that the three jaws move in unison at the same diameter when the chuck is opened or closed.

The work piece is tight hold in the chuck. the chuck part of the lathe machine .it is made of mild steel .clamping to hold the device to normal cutting and simple .clamp the workpiece rigidly. no vobration of the work piece as well as cutting tool . prevent breakage of the cutting tool. physical accidents can be avoided
A lathe chuck is a device on the driven spindle on the head (headstock) of the machine that holds the workpiece. It grips and spins it. The chuck has "fingers" called jaws that "pinch" the workpiece between them to secure it. Chucks can be 2-, 3- , 4-jaw or more. And the chuck can be self-centering or of the independent type. The self-centering chuck will have a "scroll" of threads behind the jaws that engages them. The scroll is the screw that will close each of the jaws on the workpiece (simultaneously) with the use of a tool to tighten it. And this chuck will automatically center the workpiece in the chuck. Independent chucks will have jaws that must have a tool used on each of them independently to tighten them. And of course, the workpiece will have to be "fooled around with" until it is centered in the jaws. Workholding is a company that sells chucks and has an article with pictures. A link is provided to the site. Additional links are provided to other images. Be sure to at least look at the "6-jaw chuck taken apart" to see the scroll gear that simultaneously closes the jaws. Look closely. The shiney "circles" are not circles at all but are the gradually shaped spiral of the scroll.
There are various ways for a lathe to hold its workpiece.The workpiece could be held between centers from the spindle and tail stockIt could be gripped in a chuckA faceplate could be used and the workpiece is screwed, bolted or clamped to it.
A woodturning chuck is the device that holds a piece of wood in a lathe. Wood is worked in a lathe when one wants to produce a 'turned' piece of wood such as a spindle. Different woodturning chucks are used for different sized and shapes of wood to be 'turned'.

One would use a lathe chuck as a type of clamp used to hold onto the rotating tool bit on a lathe, a lathe chuck is also known by a different name: a collet.
To safely secure a workpiece to a wood lathe faceplate, follow these best practices: Use appropriate size and type of screws to attach the workpiece to the faceplate. Ensure the workpiece is securely fastened to prevent it from coming loose during turning. Check for any defects or cracks in the wood before securing it to the lathe. Use a tailstock center for additional support if needed. Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as goggles and gloves, when working with a lathe.
