Looks intriguing; the presumption, then, is that somewhere in the
world
is a rolling mill turning out pentagonal bars? And mill vise jaws
with
108 degree and 36 degree vees?

The pentagonal spud on a fire hydrant cap/valve is the only item I
can easily
imagine this chuck holding.

It might be useful to make a model 5 cylinder radial engine.

I just bought their (last?) 5" 4-jaw for the BS-0 index, for $88.79.
The plan is to fit it to both the index's blank backplate and a used
5C pot collet to mount on my lathe and another less bulky 24-position
5C indexer.
