 Used to support work held in chuck or when
work is being machined between centers
 Contains antifriction bearings which allow center
to revolve with workpiece
No lubrication required between center and work
 Types: revolving dead center, long point center,

 Chucks
 Used extensively for holding work for lathe
machining operations
Work large or unusual shape
 Most commonly used lathe chucks
Three-jaw universal
Four-jaw independent
Collet chuck

Collet Chucks
 Most accurate chuck
 Used for high-precision work
 Spring collets available to hold round,
square, or hexagon-shaped workpieces
 Each collet has range of only few
thousandths of an inch over or under
