chuck

I currently have a Chinese 3-jaw chuck on my lathe, but I’m considering upgrading to a Röhm chuck. I know Röhm chucks are quite expensive, and I’m willing to invest in one if it’s really worth it—especially since my lathe itself is a Chinese model. What kind of improvements can I realistically...

I recently acquired a South Bend Lathe and it came with a 4 and 6 jaw chuck. The lathe needed some cleaning and I wanted to take it apart and get a good look at some of the internals before I started running it and this past week I finally got it up and running. The 6 jaw chuck was already...

Hey all, Very new to all this and need some advice. I ordered a VERTEX HV-6 (4-Slot) 6" Horizontal/Vertical Rotary Table with 4-Slot Face Plate which should arrive in a week or so. It has a MT2 center hole. This will go on a PM727 size mill. Am I on the right track with looking at this 6" 4...

Well, I converted my four jaw chuck to work on my three-bolt spindle with my drill press. Both chucks already fit tightly onto the spindle nose (correct term?) My options were: * drill three holes into the spindle * drill/tap three holes into the adapter plate * drill/tap two holes into the...

These are chucks with a 1"-8 tpi spindle nose mount. http://ebay.us/ZB286j?cmpnId=5338273189

I have a 6" independent 4-jaw chuck on my Atlas TH54 lathe. Other night I was about to dial in a stud for threading and the (jaw) screw stripped its thread. On a closer look, the threads in the chuck body are just plain worn out. I knew they were worn, but not that bad (or so I thought). Well...

hey guys im new to machining, i was wondering what is this chuck used for / meant to do best?

When I first bought my lathe, I've made this device afraid of letting the key in chuck. As a side effect, it becomes very convenient when I finish a part I just grab the key (to remove part) and lathe stop.

I have the MicroLux lathe with its standard 3 inch 3 jaw chuck. Chuck has both inside and outside hard jaws, looks to be the same as the Little Machine Shop #1187. I need to hold a thin brass disk, 1/8 thick. Does anyone know where to buy (or how to make) soft, machineable jaws for such a chuck?

Question about how far down I can lower the knee. I'm using a chuck on my rotary table and a boring head. I have barely enough room left to get tooling in. Had to use a short 3" boring bar. I can see another 2 inches of shiny ways below where the knee is stopped by the limit switch. Is there...

I have this ancient three jaw scroll Chuck with no real markings on it. I tried to use it and the run out was absolutely terrible it was actually visible. It measured on the order of 7 thousands. It came with it lathe parts that I purchased and I didn't really inspect it before I threaded it on...

Hello hobby-machinists, I am using the clamping force of collet chucks to squeeze some metal cylinders. I would like to make this process easier by having the collet be powered by the shop air. I have read about 5C pneumatic collet chucks, and I am wondering if there are other sources for...

I need a drill chuck that closes completely at the center. most chucks leave about 3/32 opening. I'm trying to chuck wire into it for straightening, using a hand drill. I have looked at using Collete's or some other technique, or maybe using a dremel but ideally i would have some kind of...
