American made lathe chucks
In a possibly fruitless search for an adjustable, US made chuck, I've
found that a price list is not a common thing. Bison is looking better and better. I am having suspicions that BTC is making Cushman chucks (sure share the same model number). Kalamazoo hasn't got back to me. 5", 3 jaw, micro adjustable, adapter for 1 3/4 by 8 tpi. Brass and Tool has the Bison Set-Tru and a 1 3/4 x 8 tpi mounting plate.... 5" chuck is roughly 11 pounds, a 6" is roughly 23 pounds... |

Wish they'd do a 5". My G9972Z has a 5" 3 jaw with a 1HP motor. |

The centering screws aren't 90 degrees apart but it's still easy to adjust, though I have need to only a couple of times. jsw |
