3.1″ 4-Jaw Independent Chuck – ER-16 Thread
For use on the ER-16 headstock only
Not for use on the standard headstock that comes on all Sherline Machines
Sherline offers their 3.1″ 4-jaw self-centering chucks with a 22 x 1.5 mm threaded hole for use on Sherline’s optional ER-16 spindle nose. They can also be used with certain other ER-16 spindles that use the 22 x 1.5mm thread for the collet nut.
These chucks have four advantages over 3-jaw chucks.
- They can be used to hold irregularly shaped parts.
- They can be used to center parts with a great deal of accuracy.
- 4-jaw chucks can be used to deliberately hold a part off-center.
- They can clamp stock tighter.
This is a valuable asset when machining cams, crankshafts and similar parts. The main disadvantage of the 4-jaw independent chuck is that the jaws must be set individually, adding considerable setup time. The jaws are reversible to accommodate larger stock.
NOTE: The independent chucks don’t have Tommy bar holes like the scroll chucks because most people use the 5/32″ hex wrench into one of the jaw screws to thread the chuck on and off. Our P/N 3020 5/32″ Hex T-Driver works perfectly.
Like the Sherline 3-jaw chucks, the 4-jaw chucks can be used to clamp either externally or internally. Although we recommend the 3-jaw chuck for standard lathe projects, the 4-jaw chuck is considered the accessory that could add the most versatility to your machine. If you feel the 4-jaw chuck would be more useful, and you have no need for the 3-jaw chuck, any lathe “A” package can be ordered with the 4-jaw chuck substituted for the 3-jaw upon request. A clamping groove allows the chuck to hold parts for milling.

3.1″ 4-Jaw Chuck – ER-16
For use on the ER-16 headstock only Not for use on the standard headstock that comes on all Sherline Machines
Sherline offers their 3.1" 4-jaw self-centering chucks with a 22 x 1.5 mm threaded hole for use on Sherline's optional ER-16 spindle nose. They can also be used with certain other ER-16 spindles that use the 22 x 1.5mm thread for the collet nut.
Self-centering chucks offer a quick and convenient way to hold a work piece while it is turned on the lathe. A chuck can also be clamped to a mill table to hold a part for milling. Sherline manufactures our own chucks to a high degree of precision on CNC machines. The jaws are ground and fitted to each chuck by skilled technicians to assure maximum accuracy. Runout is specified to be .003" or less at the chuck jaws.
NOTE: The chuck should not be used in applications where spindle speed exceeds 3000 RPM. If purchasing any of these chucks for use on a non-Sherline ER-16 spindle, confirm that the spindle nose thread is 22 x 1.5 mm before purchasing. The Sherline chuck has a collar that is machined flat at the back to seat against the face of the Sherline ER-16 spindle. This may not be compatible with some non-Sherline ER-16 collet adapters or industrial tool holders. Runout accuracy cannot be guaranteed unless used with a Sherline spindle.
