Compatibility between Axminster Jaws and VEVOR Chucks ?
- Thread starter Paul-H
- Start date
My understanding is that they don't. The interface between jaw and carrier is different.
Axi jaws require a male spigot on the carrier that locates in a female recess on the dovetail jaw. Vevor is the other way round - they have a female recess on the carrier into which a male spigot on the dovetail jaw locates.

Nova jaws certainly have the same arrangement of interface, (female in the carrier, male on the jaw), but whether or not the geometry is the same and if the bolt holes line up, I couldn't tell you I'm afraid. I would be interested to know the answer though, when you find out.
Some of the Nova, Record Power and the Sorby Top Jaws are interchangeable between these makes. They take M6 screws with a spacing of 18mm. If the Vevor also takes M6 screws with the same spacing then thereās a reasonable chance the Top Jaws from these manufacturers may fit it?

The spigot height and width is also critical DAMHIKT !
Can you indicate which Chuck and Top Jaws were incompatible - it may help others.

axminster spigot height is about1 mm or so , some axminster ācompatible ā jaw slides had a 3mm high spigot so you canāt tighten them down properly ( even though screw spacing means they āfitā ).Can you indicate which Chuck and Top Jaws were incompatible - it may help others.
This was with Axminster aluminium cole or button jaws . I have 2 sizes of these and both have shallow grooves to mate with the jaw slides.
On their steel OāDonnell jaws the grooves are deeper and you can tighten the jaw down to firmly fit the slides.
Havenāt taken other jaws apart to check groove depth and fit, so sorry cant advise on those .
Just to confuse things even more, just had the Vevor chuck delivered and it has male spigots on the carrier like on the Axminster chucks, not female as mentioned above.
Think I will sneak the chuck into Axminsters on my next visit and see if their jaws will fit.

Axminster will sell you the jaws so ask if they fit first and tryout in the show room . Theyāre a good firm to deal with generally
Hi all
Just to put this one to bed, I tried a set of Axminster jaws on my Revor and they didn't fit, the male alignment stub on the carrier jaw is wider on the Revor so although the screw holes lined up the stub was to big to fit the slot cut in the jaws.
My quest continues.
