Levin chucks were made in the usual sizes and types for this class of lathe and mounted on the appropriate draw-in collet. All the chucks have an internal and external holding capacity of 223/32"
   - a 6-jaw "Bezel Chuck" (Code ABFD of WW collets and Code ABFE for D collets)
Fitted with "face jaws" which could be removed from the inner scroll jaw, and reversed; used for the delicate holding of thin discs, rings, instrument and watch and small clock bezels.
   -  a high-precision 3-jaw chuck (Code ABEX for WW collets and Code ABEY for D collets) fitted with reversible face-jaws and a scroll operated by an external hand-turned ring; designed for holding work too large for the collets.
An independent 4-jaw chuck (Code ABHY for WW collets and ABHZ for D collets) with reversible jaws and a maximum capacity of 223/32".
Faceplates were available in two different styles; a beautiful traditional type with three independently adjustable jaws and a "pump centre" for locating work; large "peep holes" were provided to aid setting up. A simple but exquisitely made 37/8" diameter tapped-hole faceplate was also available (Code ABHU with a WW mounting and Code ABHV in a D collet fitting).
