Wanted----Collet Chuck
Does any one have a Collet chuck that they don't use any more? I am
looking for one that will hold 3/4" Work. I can use any of the below sizes. 3/4" X 16, 1" X 8, or #1 or #2 Morse taper. (I know that Beall has them, but would like to try one before putting out a full price for them). Thank you. -- Richard, Richard L. Rombold WIZARD WOODWORKING 489 N. 32nd.

I use the Oneway Talon Chuck. You can get them at most any woodturning
site. It's fantastic because I can adjust it to hold most of the sizes that I turn from 1/8th of an inch to 2 1/2 inches. It comes with a key that allows you to hold the wood in one hand while tightening the chuck with the other. Most of the chucks I've seen use two pin lever systems. This Onway talon is much easier to load. If you want to try differant chucks, contact your most local woodturning club. Just search for the woodturners association site to find your local site.

Hi Richard, As a quick & dirty interim solution, you might try using a
brass or stainless steel plumbing compression fitting as a collet chuck. For a 3/4x16 spindle use a 1/2 in pipe to 3/4 in. tube straight fitting if available at a plumber's supply. The compressed oval ring prevents axial motion better than circular motion of smooth tubing, but should be ok for circular motion of wood. I've used smaller ones to hold bottle stopper dowels, finials etc., but never over 1/2 in. Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |
