WTB: 18" 3 Jaw Chuck
Gunner Asch wrote: Guy needs an 18" 3 jaw chuck with large center hole for opposite end (left) of headstock for supporting pipe while threading. Anyone got a clunker kicking around? I need to be able to bore the center hole out to minimum of 6.75" cringe...and yes..I suggested an adapter with 3 bolts.....which would be a hell of a lot easier to make up from scrap.....and cheaper...... Good grief, what about an ordinary pipe roller stand with the two rollers and height adjustment? I can't imagine spinning 6.75" pipe fast enough to need a top roller, but that would be easy to add. |

I wonder if the second chuck makes the set up a lot more rigid. I expect there is a fairly long piece of stock sticking out on some supports. Wes |

I know I know...sigh...I told him about a half dozen ways to implement the project. However having a dog at the opposite end of the spindle from the threading does have some advantages I used to do a lot of work for Gossco..a Fullerton California pipe threading company that did up to 48" Ive mentioned it before here. So I do have a skosh bit of knowledge on the subject... Man doesnt ever seem to learn.

Not by a huge amount..but a significant amount Gunner -- "Confiscating wealth from those who have earned it, inherited it, or got lucky is never going to help 'the poor.'
