Selection & Ordering

The points must be considered while selecting the right type of the Backplates :

The Blackplates should be chosen to suit the spindle of the machine. The common spindles are A type, D Type, L Type and threaded spindles.
Having determined the type of spindle, then the size of the Backplate should be selected . For instance, in the A type of spindle there can be A4,A5,A6 and so on.
The diameter of the Backplate should be chosen so that it is more than the diameter of the chuck. The extra diameter should then be machined, on the same machine on which the chuck is to be mounted. After maintaining a close fit, the chuck should be mounted on this diameter.
