Lathe Accessory Proxxon 27026, metallic finish — accessory for Proxxon lathes

Proxxon 27026 lathe accessory with a metallic finish is a three-jaw chuck designed for precision clamping on compatible Proxxon micro lathes. It allows concentric holding of round workpieces for small-scale metal and wood turning. The chuck fits directly to the DB 250 spindle and expands the machine's tooling options for hobbyists and workshop users who need reliable, repeatable grip during turning operations.

Advantages

The accessory offers reversible jaws that provide both internal and external clamping ranges, enabling versatile use across a wide range of diameters. Its metallic finish ensures durable surface protection and straightforward cleaning after machining. Thread compatibility for direct mounting to the DB 250 spindle simplifies installation and reduces setup time for repeated operations.

Suitable for

• Concentric clamping of round stock for woodturning on the Proxxon DB250
• Small-scale metal turning tasks where precise external gripping is required
• Hobby projects and detailed workshop work requiring repeatable concentric holds
• Swapping between internal and external gripping without additional jaws

Key specifications

• Internal clamping range: 1/16" to 1-3/8" (1.5 to 32 mm)
• External clamping range: 1/2" to 2-19/32" (12 to 65 mm)
• Reversible jaw design for internal and external gripping
• Metallic finish for corrosion resistance and easy maintenance
• Threaded mounting for direct fit to DB 250 spindle

How to use

Mount the chuck onto the DB250 spindle by threading it into place and secure according to the lathe manufacturer's instructions. Select the appropriate jaw orientation for internal or external clamping, insert the workpiece centrally between the jaws, and tighten evenly to achieve concentric grip. For safety, confirm the workpiece runs true at low speed before resuming normal turning operations and periodically check jaw tightness during use.

Usage recommendations

Use the reversible jaws to match the workpiece diameter and material. For best concentricity, center the workpiece carefully and tighten progressively. Regularly clean and lightly lubricate moving surfaces to maintain smooth jaw action and inspect for wear when frequently clamping hard materials.
