The Royal MTC™ is a Revolutionary 3-Jaw Chuck, Collet Chuck, and I.D. Workholding System All-in-One

NEW

No Need to Ever Change Your Chuck Again

Switching your lathe workholding as jobs demand can be a difficult process and eats up valuable production time. But no longer! With the Royal MTC™ it’s a snap to change over between:
  • 3-Jaw Chuck
  • Quick-Grip™ CNC Collet Chuck
  • I.D. Workholding System
  • And much more…
Converting Between Jaw/Collet/I.D. Applications Takes Just Minutes and is Accomplished by Simply Swapping the Quick-Change Center Hub. The Chuck Body Never Needs to be Removed from the Lathe Spindle!
Setup Times Slashed

Change from jaw chuck to collet chuck to I.D. mandrel in minutes without ever removing the chuck from the spindle.

Ingenious Patent-Pending Design

Simply change out the hardened and ground TiN coated center hubs as applications require – chuck body always remains mounted to the lathe spindle.

Standard Top Tooling

All Royal MTC™ chucks incorporate base jaw serrations of 60° x 1.5mm as standard. Alternative base jaws with inch serrations or quick-change configurations are available as specials.

Extreme Rigidity

Much more stable than other systems because MTC™ is a true jaw-chuck with both collet and I.D. capabilities – not a collet chuck with a heavy jaw chuck hanging off the front end.

High Accuracy

Jaw repeatability is 0.0002″ –0.0003″ and the QG collet hub is guaranteed to be within 0.0003″ TIR.

Great Tool Clearance

All chuck bodies are relief milled for optimized tool clearance and reduced rotational mass.

MTC
Multiple Sizes

Royal stocks the MTC™ in 8″, 10″, 12″, and 15″ versions. Backplates are available to suit all standard spindle mounts.

Unmatched Flexibility

Run virtually any job on a single CNC lathe – modular design provides the ability to seamlessly integrate additional components (5C collet adapter, face driver, etc.) as needed.
