Abstract
A system for holding workpieces during machining utilizes a support chuck which may be mounted on a machine tool such as a lathe or it may be mounted on a support adjacent the machine tool such as a turnaround or carrousel. The invention utilized an adapter plate constructed to be gripped by the support chuck. The adapter plate in turn mounts the chuck which actually holds the workpiece. The support chuck has means to clamp the adapter plate to it and to precisely center the plate and its workpiece gripping chuck concentrically of the support chuck. The adapter plate is so constructed that the chuck manipulation rods and pulls conventionally used with chucks or various types can pass through it to actuate the workpiece holding chuck.
