Product Description
CMT HSK-F63 Chuck for ER40 Precision Collets - Left-Hand Rotation is a high-precision tool holding chuck engineered for CNC machining centres, point-to-point machines, and CNC router construction centres. Designed to accept ER40 precision collets, this CMT chuck features an HSK-F63 shank interface and left-hand rotation, making it a purpose-built solution for demanding industrial woodworking operations. The chuck is finished with CMT Orange Chrome Shield Coating, which provides non-stick protection, guards against corrosion, and helps reduce resin build-up during extended production runs.
Key Features
- ER40 Collet System Compatibility - accepts the widely used ER40 collet standard, giving operators access to a broad range of collet sizes for versatile tooling setups on the same chuck body.
- HSK-F63 Shank Interface - provides a rigid, high-speed connection to the machine spindle, minimising runout and maintaining consistent accuracy across high-volume CNC operations.
- Left-Hand Rotation - specifically configured for left-hand spindle rotation, ensuring correct tool engagement and safe operation on machines requiring LH tooling.
- Orange Chrome Shield Coating - CMT's signature protective coating prevents overheating, resists corrosion and rust, reduces resin adhesion, and extends the working life of the chuck in demanding production environments.
- Broad Machine Compatibility - engineered for use with Homag, Eima (from 9/94), Dubus, Weeke, Biesse, SCM, Morbidelli, and Masterwood machining platforms, reducing the need for machine-specific tooling solutions.
Why This Product
- The HSK-F63 shank interface is a precision taper-lock connection standard found on many leading CNC machining centres, making this chuck a direct-fit solution rather than an adapter-dependent workaround for point-to-point and CNC router platforms.
- The left-hand rotation designation means this chuck is engineered specifically for LH spindle configurations - using a standard right-hand chuck on an LH spindle risks tool ejection, making this the correct and safe choice for LH setups.
- Compatibility with eight major machine brands - including Biesse, SCM, Weeke, and Morbidelli - means shops running mixed-brand CNC equipment can standardise on a single chuck model rather than sourcing brand-specific holders.
- The Orange Chrome Shield Coating addresses one of the most common issues in panel and wood processing: resin and pitch build-up on tooling that causes premature wear and balance problems, helping maintain consistent performance between cleanings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which machine brands is this HSK-F63 chuck compatible with?
This chuck is designed for use with Homag, Eima (from September 1994), Dubus, Weeke, Biesse, SCM, Morbidelli, and Masterwood CNC machining centres and point-to-point machines. Always confirm your specific machine model's spindle interface before fitting any tooling.
What collets does this chuck accept?
This chuck is designed to accept ER40 precision collets. The ER40 collet system accommodates a wide range of tool shank diameters, making this chuck a versatile holder for CNC routing and milling tool setups.
Why does rotation direction matter when selecting a CNC chuck?
This chuck is configured for left-hand (LH) rotation. Installing a right-hand rotation chuck on a left-hand spindle can result in the collet nut loosening during operation, which creates a serious safety hazard and risks tool ejection. Always match the chuck rotation to your machine spindle's rotation direction.
What does the Orange Chrome Shield Coating do for this chuck?
CMT's Orange Chrome Shield Coating serves multiple protective functions: it helps prevent overheating during prolonged use, protects the chuck body against corrosion and rust, and reduces the build-up of resin and pitch that commonly accumulates during wood and composite panel machining. This helps maintain balance and accuracy over the working life of the chuck.
