Not into chuck bragging I do have sufficient I used to keep to ones that used one inch ten threads having had a few woodfast lathes a VL100 then the larger thread for the two large woodfasts and now also the VL150. I have been known in the past to buy metal lathes simply to extend my range of chucks from small to big then onsell the lathes themselves at buying time getting multiple chucks. So I understand must haveitus I have had it in spades.


Where I worked one time there was a plethora of Hercus Lathes in fact where I bought mine and in one Dept of the University was a metal workshop with a huge lathe they sold to upgrade the guy who ran the workshop was a strange guy anyway one day I was in the workshop and he approached me said here and plonked a cardboard box in my hand it weighed heavy in it was the Hercus 3 jaw chuck I showed recently with the adapter to fit 1 inch ten threads in great nick the one I showed in pics on a thread recently that was 24 years ago. You never never know the bloke had made adapters for the onsold lathe for fine work using that chuck.
