Safety chuck replaceable insert

Boschert’s VT-7 replaceable insert design of the shaft journal retrofits on any Boschert VT-style safety chuck. The round piece accepts the load-bearing footprint of the roll shaft. The square part transmits torque through the safety chuck to the roll shaft. The torque of the operation (square part) is separated from the load bearing footprint of the roll shaft (round part) preventing wear to the round part of the roll shaft journal.—Boschert, www.boschert.com
