Grizzly G4000 - Manual (Page 10)

G4000 9'' x 19'' Lathe -9-
C Ch hu uc ck ks s
The Model G4000 Metal Lathe comes equipped
with a 4'' 3-jaw chuck (already installed), a 7'' 4-
jaw chuck and a face plate.
The 3-jaw chuck is a scroll-type chuck, meaning
that all three jaws move in unison when adjust-
ments are made. The 4-jaw chuck, on the other
hand, features independent jaws. The 4-jaw
chuck is used for square or unevenly-shaped
stock.
The 3 and 4-jaw chucks have a setscrew in the
hub of the back plate.

prevents the chucks from unscrewing when rotat-
ing the lathe in the reverse direction. Prior to
removing the chuck, loosen the setscrew in the
hub of the back plate.

This lathe model should be securely mounted to
a stand or benchtop. An accessory stand is avail-
able from Grizzly, please see our current catalog
for pricing. There are two holes at each end of the
lathe base which can be used to secure machine
to the base.
The lathe does not require a great deal of assem-
bly. This section details the installation of the var-
ious accessory holding devices. The following
section will familiarize you with the controls for
your new lathe. After you have completed both of
these sections we will do a test run of the
machine. Do not attempt a test run until you have
become familiar with both of these sections.
