I have a Craftex (sold by Busy Bee in Canada) 7 x 8 mini lathe - moreor less
the same as all the other mini lathes that are common.

How do I get the chuck off?

What will I find when it is off?

I'm looking to make some v-belt pulleys and figure that bolting an aluminium
plate to a face-plate would let me do one side and the groove, flipping it I
could do the other side parallel.
