chuck

Hello folks I purchased a keyless chuck and the first time I have gone to use it, it has seized closed on the drill bit. It is under warrant and will be going back (at the company's expense so I am waiting for them to try to say it must be returned under my own cost. The law on that is not in...

I was after a new Chuck and Axminster were out of stock on the one I wanted and I come across the Viper3 which I had always avoided but this time I thought give it a go well it arrived this morning and I was impressed so time to try it out and to my surprise it is a great Chuck it turned a 9”...

Hi everyone, Today I have ran into a couple of problems that I do not know how to solve. 1) What way is the thread on a screw chuck, clockwise or anti-clockwise? I have got the chuck off the lathe but for the life of me I just can not budge the tiny bowl that is attached to it. The bowl is...

When a chuck is not tightened up or even on the lathe what level of movement is acceptable? I have the allen keys tightened on the individual jaws and the chuck is open about 12mm (gap between top of jaws) and I have movement on each jaw of about 2mm towards the centre and outside of chuck is...

Note the use of an ER32 collet Chuck and Pin Chucks. :thumbs:

Do they fit any other chucks out there? They have some useful looking jaws at good prices. SCT 95 mm 4 Jaw Geared Scroll Chucks

So My chuck is 1" x 8 tpi and I'm after a insert to fit this to a T12 lead screw but I can't find one for the love of money. So I was thinking of buying something like this Axminster Woodturning Chuck Hub - M33 x 3.5mm But solid so I can drill out the back to 12 mm and tap a grub screw into it...

Hi, new here as per the intro section. I just drilled out a blank in maple and pressed in the pen ferrule. I did these jobs on my metalworking lathe with the 4 jaw chuck set up. But now (as soon as I have cleared a space for it!) I must do the wood turning bits. I can either plunge the 4 claw...

So as I said yesterday " I'm going to turn my first bowl) well I've turned it in end grain slab of wood I was given about 8 years ago a big lump of sable or what ever it is but it was a red wood. in the first two images I turned the bowl and stopped because of catches scared my self to death, I...

I am a little confused, it's easily done and I am a complete beginner please forgive me. I am looking to get some basic tools and equipment ready for the big day. Looking at a mandrel, there are many adverts selling mandrells with a variety of collets , MT1 MT2 and "straight" for people like...

Yes I'm new to turning pens however I do like the idea of kitless pen phil's the one to blame with that amazing ironwood fountain pen (dam it's a fantastic looking pen) but I'm wondering on the right route to take, but also being tight on money I am a tight git BUT I do like to buy the right...

Didn’t have the greatest success with the pin vice so decided I’d knock up an inverted collet chuck while I wait for the wood to arrive. Works an absolute treat!

Must have a rant at Rutlands. What a bunch of idiots. Bought, what was described on their web page as a set of jaws to fit (compatible) to a Record Power SC4 chuck. Not only did the screws to my own chuck not fit into or protrude through enough for the threads to fix the jaws, the holes that...

Does anyone know or have you tried to fit Patriot Pen Blank Drilling Jaws Stiles and Bates to an Axminster sk100 chuck? ie are the bolt holes compatible? PG

Thanks to you chaps who gave me advice about pillar drills and how a lot here use the lathe to drill blanks ,Just received my Axemister chuck and pen jaws and tried it out ,Wow perfectly central ,You’ve all probably saved me money there so cheers ,Ian

Good evening all, I’m brand new to wood turning and have just picked up a record DML24x lathe, my intention is to make small items like pens and tobacco pipes. Is there a chuck I could use for both of these types of items? There are so many chucks on the internet that getting right one is a bit...

I have about 5 Nova chucks (hate changing jaws) and needed another for a different set of jaws. Because of availability and price bought a Record SC4 companion chuck. Build quality is on par with Nova but the best part is that it closes clockwise instead of the abnormal CCW of the Nova. Hated...

Not sure if this is the place for this but here goes. I have been suffering with tooling going rusty in my shed really bad, but this year and period Feb & Mar only ???. It is so bad i removed my chuck from the lathe put it in the box i made to hold all my chuck bits and pieces and two days later...

Good afternoon all, Very quick question (i'll caveat it with I am away from my lathe so I can't check this myself), but what spanner size is needed to remove or fit the Robert Sorby 1" x 8 tpi to the Patriot chuck or to remove the chuck from the spindle. Is it 38mm (1.5" in old money)? Adie
