Protective oil for metals and in particular for HSS.

As we all know, steel being a compound based on iron and carbon (plus other alloy metals) it is subject to oxidation and rust.

This specific oil is made up of components that have two functions:

The first Dewatering is to penetrate deeply into all the micro asperities and cracks of the metal (due to processing) and combine with water (even if it were only humidity in the air) and make it evaporate.

The second is Protection, or replacing water with a layer of paraffins that can dry and protect the metal from oxidation for a long time.

This allows our object to resist and remain shiny and efficient much longer, also considering that the wood is hygroscopic (it attracts moisture) and when not seasoned it contains tannins, or acids that combined with water favor oxidation of metals.

Self-Centering Lite Chuck
The Lite chuck is a concentrate of technology and ingenuity made in Italy.

Specially designed for small objects that are often carried on the lathe, it is the ideal chuck for all mini and medium size lathes (up to 50Kg). This is the only chuck recommended for light and entry-level lathes because it is very light.

The chuck protrusion from the lathe attachment is of only 52 mm, excluding jaws, the dimension also includes the thread.

Compared to the other chucks, you recover at least 10 mm of space on the lathe and bring the rotating mass closer to the shaft bearings reducing lathe vibration and stress.
Standard supplied with type 1 jaws, it can be assembled with optional jaws 2, 3, 4, 6.

Self-Centering Strong Chuck
The Strong chuck is a concentrate of technology and versatility made in Italy.
Specially designed for large objects that are often made at the lathe, it is the ideal chuck for all medium size large lathes (from 50Kg onwards). Designed for heavy and demanding work, it can safely perform small objects because it can assemble all the jaws of the Lite chuck.
Supplied standard with the type 5 jaws can also fit the optional Jaws type 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9

The chuck protrusion from the lathe attachment is of only 52 mm, excluding jaws, the dimension also includes the thread.
Compared to the other chucks, you recover at least 10 mm of space on the lathe and bring the rotating mass closer to the shaft
bearings thus reducing vibration and stress for the lathe.
For the predisposed lathes the Strong spindle is fitted with a flange DIN 800 with the taper for the safety collar, for the other lathes
it is still equipped with the safety locking grub Screw.

Collet Chuck Holder ER25, Used in the headstock to hold cylindrical pieces and rotating tools, such us wheel brushes with shank. Ensure an accurate work and damped vibration.
It features a M33x3,5 mm thread (DIN 800).
Includes: ER25 Collet Ø 6 mm (art. no. 3074)
