Abstract
A deep throat chuck jaw system adapted to be used with a lathe with or without a headstock hole is provided. The system includes a set of jaw extension members having an inboard end supported from a face of a master chuck jaw coupled to a lathe chuck. The jaw extension members also include an outboard end. The set of jaw extension members are operable to grip an outer surface of a part having an outer diameter greater than the headstock hole with a clamping assembly clamped around the outboard end.
Claims31
A system for use with a lathe with a headstock hole comprising:
- a set of jaw extension members having an inboard end supported from a face of a master chuck jaw coupled to a lathe chuck and an outboard end, the set of jaw extension members being operable to grip an outer surface of a part having an outer diameter greater than the headstock hole;
- and
- a clamping assembly operable to clamp around the outboard end.
A system for use with a lathe without a headstock hole comprising:
- a set of jaw extension members having an inboard end supported from a face of a master chuck jaw coupled to a lathe chuck and an outboard end, the set of jaw extension members being operable to grip an outer surface of a part having an outer diameter less than an outer diameter of the lathe chuck;
- and
- a clamping assembly operable to clamp around the outboard end without any other outboard support to support the part.
A system comprising:
- means for gripping an outer surface of a part having an outer diameter greater than a headstock hole and adapted to be coupled from an inbound end to a face of a master chuck jaw coupled to a lathe chuck;
- and
- means for clamping around an outboard end of the gripping means.
A system comprising:
- means for gripping an outer surface of a part having an outer diameter less than an outer diameter of a lathe chuck and adapted to be coupled from an inbound end to a face of a master chuck jaw coupled to the lathe chuck;
- and
- means for clamping around an outboard end of the gripping means.
A system for use with a lathe chuck comprising:
- a set of jaw extension members, each said member having an inboard end and an outboard end, wherein each said inboard end is coupled to said lathe chuck, and wherein said set of jaw extension members is operable to grip an outer surface of a part;
- and
- a removable clamping assembly operable to clamp around said outboard end.
A system comprising:
- means for gripping an outer surface of a part where said gripping means is adapted to be coupled from an inboard end to a face of a master chuck jaw coupled to a lathe chuck;
- means for clamping around an outboard end of said gripping means, wherein said clamping means is removable.
