Hi! I am looking for some help with a R-8 Self centering chuck.
I have seen mini-chucks available at Shars/Grizzly and am curious if I can expect one to work for me and my basic needs. Is it possible to really clamp down tight with a mini-chuck.
I am looking to take 1-1/2" solid round 4130 and make some bungs for tierod ends on a suspension project. The bungs will be 2" long, have a 5/8 -18 threaded hole through the entire length of the part, and be stepped to fit into a piece of tubing.
Are there any R-8 adapters that would allow me to buy a 4" or 6" self centering chuck and bolt it up for use on my mill.
Sorry for the total noob question. I am just starting out, and have much to learn.
Thanks,
