A compact 16mm keyless chuck for a lathe toolpost.

[Parlo]

I thought a short form 16mm ( 5/8" ) toolpost keyless chuck would come in handy, so I made one. The chuck is tightened by the star wheel. Shown with a 20mm endmill.

Interesting. More details please. How does the hand wheel tighten the chuck?

Thanks; You included a link to "images" in one of your replies on YouTube, but the link only includes the Body: could you share photos of the components so we can better understand the overall assembly?


Thanks again, Charlie

Thanks, Parlo; as is often the case – user error! Or as we used to wish we could tell clients (and some inexperience contractors): RTFD.
