The lathe chuck's operation is facilitated by a wedge-screw mechanism. This intricate design allows for precise and secure clamping of workpieces, ensuring optimal stability during cutting operations. By turning the adjustment screw, the wedge is tightened against the jaws, thereby applying even pressure across the entire surface of the workpiece, preventing any movement or slipping.
