Chuck Jaws

[gramps1951]

My South Bend 9A has a real nice 3-jaw Burnerd Model 31 6" chuck with hardened ID jaws. I have searched high and low and even contacted worldwide suppliers trying to find OD jaws for this chuck. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a possible source short of going to every tool auction or flea market I ever see??? I realize I could just buy a new chuck complete with ID/OD jaws but I really like this chuck.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

I've seen several companies that specialize in making replacement jaws. I don't know if they have the ones you need. When you see their prices, you'll soon decide how much you really like that chuck.

Here's just a few places found by searching "chuck jaws" on the Internet.

I neglected to mention that fact in my post!! I could buy a lot of stuff for what they want for jaws. I'm hoping to find someone with an unwanted set or a damaged chuck but I'm not holding much hope. I'm researching good chucks, preferably with 2 piece jaws like my 4 jaw has. Thanks for the reply.
