Fourth Axis 4-jaw independent chuck for JWX-30
or MDX-40A with ZCL-40A rotary
(Product code: 4JC-34A)
Fourth Axis has developed a 4-jaw chuck system for JWX-30 (or MDX-40A with ZCL-40A rotary) which has unique features. Our chuck system is NOT mounted via a threaded post, because such mounting does not give ideal concentricity, nor permit dismount/remount to exactly the same rotation angle.
We provide a rubber-ring centering boss for ideal concentricity between Roland's new rotary and our chuck system. The 4JC-34A also accepts Roland's indexing pin.

Indexing pin hole (lower left) and rubber-ring centering boss (lower right) and M4 mounting screws visible.
Our split mounting system relies on two precision plates - one secured concentric with the JWX-30 (or MDX-40A with ZCL-40A rotary) by three socket head screws, the second carrying the chuck mechanism. They align perfectly concentric, thanks to the rubber-ring centering boss which is unitary from the Roland to the actual chuck center. Rotation is repeatable, thanks to rotation stops on the 3 joining screws.

Securely holding 75 x 50 x 15mm wax slab for 3-sided ring production under the FlipFlopWax Procedure by Fourth Axis. No flip-fixture is required!
This 4JC-34A is the preferred equipment for FlipFlopWax Procedure by Fourth Axis. See our FlipFlopWax tutorial and the ArtCAM thread


Aluminum centering arbor for wax tubes lets you clamp a ring tube exactly centered, in seconds without any measuring.
This independent 4-jaw chuck has reversible jaws, to hold different diameter ranges. They also allow you to grip objects from inside or outside. Examples are illustrated - a wax slab 75 x 50 x 15mm for FlipFlopWax 3-sided ring procedure and a perfectly centered 28mm wax ring tube for simple rotary ring work.
Included with this product are:
- 4-jaw scroll chuck with 4 reversible glass-filled polymer jaws for fragile cutter protection
- front and backplate pair with 3 coupling screws and nuts
- 3 socket head M4 screws and 2.5mm hex key for attaching the chuck to JWX-30 (or MDX-40A with ZCL-40A rotary)
- 2mm hex key for chuck jaw closure
- aluminum stepped and tapered centering arbor which prevents crushing of wax tubes
- plastic tapered plug for use off-center, prevents crushing of D-shape signet-ring wax tubes
