Tell Me The Advantages of 6 Jaw Lathe Chuck

Hi Alan,
thanks for reading and commenting.
yes Alan, i have 5c collets but the tubing will range from 1-1/2" to 3" in diameter
i suppose i could figure other ways of holding the work, but convenience may just take over to save valuable time.
i'll post pix when i get the chuck!

If you only have a few sizes between 1.5" and 3" you might want pot chucks for your 5 C. Sometimes you can snag prebored ones pretty cheap on ebay. Might save you some $ compared to buying a chuck.

great idea thank you for the tip!
 
i'm toying with the idea of purchasing a 6 jaw chuck for a lathe i own.

if anyone can state the virtues or the disadvantages in their view, i'd sure like to hear them.

i have already accepted that this item is not necessarily a must have, i have gone to this point without.

thanks in advance for any opinion!


Why question it. :dunno: If it is a tool you don't have then it is a tool you need :laughing:
