What size are you looking for? Ive got 4 jaws coming out my ears.

I recently picked up a lathe that has 11" swing. (I talked here about
things like replacing the belts -- I went with Fenner link belt and it
seems to be fine -- even running backwards as you mentioned.)

It came with a 3-jaw 6" chuck and a face plate, but no 4-jaw. I figured

about an 8" 4-jaw chuck would be good for it. The lathe seems to have a
2 1/4" x 8 tpi spindle. If I can find a decent chuck I could deal with
finding a backing plate for it to match my lathe.

If you want to email me, Gunner, hit me at rex at xertech dot net. I'm
in N. Cal so if we can find a match, shipping shouldn't be bad. Thanks
for the reply.

what sort of spindle nose do you have?

I told you (see above). If it wasn't clear, that's a threaded spindle.
But I'm willing to replace the backplate if necessary.

Ah..sorry. 2 1/4 x 8. Ill check my Stuff and see what I have. I
think..think I have one. What sort of lathe..brand name is it?

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
