Take on projects of all shapes and sizes with the WEN 4-Inch 4-Jaw Self-Centering Keyed Chuck. This versatile chuck features dovetailed jaws, allowing you to grip the outside of stock between 1.6 to 2.8 inches in size, or to hold internal pilot holes ranging from 2 to 3.2 inches in diameter. If that’s not enough, you can also install the included screw chuck depending on the task at hand. The 1” x 8TPI mounting thread fits a wide variety of wood lathes, including the WEN 3420, 3420T, 3421, 3424, 3424T, 34018, 3427, 34018, 34027 and 34034. NOTE: max recommended workpiece size for 3420, 3420T, and 3421 is 4 inches. Review: For me it’s great! - I’m an amateur turner using a very old HF lathe with no previous experience. What I produce with this chuck seems to awe people closest to me, so I think it’s the greatest lathe accessory on the market. Review: Its a great cheap chuck. - I am sure the $500 one is "better." But this one does everything I could possibly need for a fraction of the cost. I don't need it to true up a shaft to within 1/1000 of an inch. I needed it to turn something square round on my really old Delta lathe, and it did it beautifully. It's heavy steel, so if it stays lubricated it will outlive me. What more could I want? ## Features - Scroll chuck perfect for holding bowls, spindles, and other unwieldy wood lathe projects - Internal jaws tighten around workpieces varying from 1.6 to 2.8 inches in size - External jaws spread inside of workpieces with pilot holes ranging from 2 to 3.2 inches - Included screw chuck provides even more options for supporting your projects - Features a 1” x 8 TPI thread for compatibility with the majority of wood lathes on the market ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07PYFNFP3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #131,762 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #5 in Lathe Chucks #29 in Power Lathe Accessories | | Brand | WEN | | Brand Name | WEN | | Capacity | 2.8 inches | | Compatible Devices | Lathe | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,554 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00044459990925, 10044459990922 | | Handle Type | hand-tightened | | Included Components | 4-Inch 4-Jaw Self-Centering Chuck Set with 1-Inch x 8TPI Thread | | Item Diameter | 2.8 inches | | Item Weight | 0.27 g | | Lock Type | Manual (Keyed) | | Manufacturer | WEN | | Manufacturer Part Number | LA4444 | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | LA4444 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Thread Size | 1 inch | | UPC | 044459990925 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WEN - **Compatible Devices:** Lathe - **Item Diameter:** 2.8 Inches - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Ounces - **Material:** Wood ## Images ![LA4444 4-Inch 4-Jaw Self-Centering Chuck Set with 1-Inch x 8TPI Thread - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71da-NamBGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does the chuck maintain it's tightness to the tenon?** A: The chuck tightens like the Grizzly and Penn state chucks as well as some of the older nova chucks. The back ring turns like a big chuck key and is tightened with torsion bars (orange handled bars seen in picture) inserted into the holes positioned around the chuck body and back ring **Q: Will this work on a psi penpal lathe?** A: I don't know the tpi for your lathe. However, you should be able to get an inexpensive thread adapter here if you need one. I needed one for my harbor freight lathe. The combination has worked great!! **Q: I have a "harbor freight" - lathe - model # 65345 8 x 10" 5 speed 1/2hp .. will this chuck fit my lathe? i believe it's 1" x 8 thread.** A: If it is 1” 8 TPI it will fit. Please double check the specs at Harbor Freight. I’m not sure if the small lathe is 1” 8 TPI. **Q: How do i attach this to my harbor freight lathe? the spindle that came with the lathe is not threaded and i cannot find one online.** A: If your spindle has a face plate, you'll have to remove it first to access the spindle threads. Both wood turning lathes currently offered by HF have threaded spindle headstocks and MT2 tailstocks. Can't speak for older HF models, though, but lathes typically come with threaded spindles. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For me it’s great! *by B***D on February 25, 2026* I’m an amateur turner using a very old HF lathe with no previous experience. What I produce with this chuck seems to awe people closest to me, so I think it’s the greatest lathe accessory on the market. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its a great cheap chuck. *by P***K on November 2, 2024* I am sure the $500 one is "better." But this one does everything I could possibly need for a fraction of the cost. I don't need it to true up a shaft to within 1/1000 of an inch. I needed it to turn something square round on my really old Delta lathe, and it did it beautifully. It's heavy steel, so if it stays lubricated it will outlive me. What more could I want? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works really well *by J***. on January 27, 2022* I bought this to increase my lathe capabilities on my Wen lathe. I am writing this review going from a beginner in turning to a seasoned hobbyist. I bought this chuck just over a year ago and wanted to give this item a decent long term review. The Good: -Inexpensive and perfect for the beginner wanting to enter the world of more advanced wood turning. -The chuck has a variety of gripping abilities and has a pretty good ease of use with it. -When used properly, it holds the items being turned really well. -Comes with all of the accessories needed to secure it into place. The kind of bad: -The screw that comes with it can be a bit of a pain to get set into wood. Experience plays a key factor here in getting it properly secured into the block of wood. -The piece is secured into the chuck by turning the back of the chuck then tightening with two rods. If this is not done right the piece can and will come loose, fly out like a rocket, and potentially knock a 3" hole in your ceiling. Make sure that when you cut your gripping areas, you cut a matching bevel to help the chuck hold more securely. Once I started doing this, if it loosens a little (rarely) the bevel catches it from flying out. (speaking from hard learned experiences here) Overall, I like this tool. It was perfect for a beginner and the weekend woodworker like me. I have spun everything from spindles, magic wands, cups, and bowls. Learning is a part of the process behind every tool. I was a beginner when I first bought this and learned lessons the easy and hard ways. When use properly it works very well. My recommendation: I like it and would certainly recommend (and have recommended) it to people to get started with as a beginner chuck. It was an update to my accessories that I really like having around. ## Frequently Bought Together - WEN LA4444 4-Inch 4-Jaw Self-Centering Chuck Set with 1-Inch x 8TPI Thread - WEN Mini Benchtop Wood Lathe, 8-Inch by 13-Inch with Variable Speed (LA3421) - WEN LA136K 1/2-Inch Keyed Drill Chuck with MT1 Arbor Taper --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/116144564-la4444-4-inch-4-jaw-self-centering-chuck-set-1](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/116144564-la4444-4-inch-4-jaw-self-centering-chuck-set-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
