The lathe usually has a collet chuck installed. This is an easy-to-use way to hold on to bar stock under 65mm in diameter. Check this page for how to change collets and order new sizes. | The lathe usually has a collet chuck installed. This is an easy-to-use way to hold on to bar stock under 65mm in diameter.

If you wish to work with a part or stock larger than 65mm you will need to use the hydraulic three-jaw chuck. This uses three jaws to hold on to stock, and can have custom machined "soft jaws" fitted to ensure an exceptionally good fit on both raw stock and finished surfaces. | If you wish to work with a part or stock larger than 65mm you will need to use the hydraulic three-jaw chuck.

Long work - more than 4 to 5 times their diameter - will need additional support when cutting. You can do this with with the [[Tailstock (Haas ST-15Y)|hydraulically actuated tailstock]] and a live centre inserted into a specially drilled hole on the end of the bar. | Long work - more than 4 to 5 times their diameter - will need additional support when cutting.
