I recently came into the possession of an older Oneway Stronghold chuck,
unfortunately w/out the key. The key to my newer Stronghold doesn't fit.
Needless to say , this is quite frustrating. I was wondering if any of you
out there might have a couple of old style chucks & would be willing to part
with one of the keys for a reasonable price. Please contact me either
through the group or by e-mail.
Thank you

Have you tried contacting Oneway directly? I'm sure they have them or can make you one.

I've talked to Oneway & they don't have any. They suggested a new ring gear.
I thought I would try here first though.
Thanx

If, by luck, someone DOES have an extra key, how can they tell whether it is
the new or old design? Frankly, if I had an old chuck with two keys,
knowing that they are no longer available, I would be inclined to hang on to
the extra, just in case. Hoiw much does a new ring gear cost?

Good question Leo. Oneway said they would get right back to me on the cost
of a ring gear & that was a week ago. So far no response from them.
This is a problem I have been hearing from some others that I know who have
Oneway lathes. Seems that the company is experiencing growing pains as far
as their service department is concerned.
As to how one would know whether new or old design, I don't have specifics.
All I know is that the key to my new Stronghold doesn't work in my old one &
Oneway told me that the old ones won't work in the new.
The newer chucks have a patent # for both the US & the UK. The older ones
only have a # for the US. The PN#'s are the same on both though.

third chuck because I got a second lathe and the adaptor was
different. I got a key this time, thank God. The keys are definitely
different. If you try to switch them it sounds like gravel in a
transmission. Here is the difference. The old key has eleven teeth
and they are flat on top. The new key has twelve teeth and they are
more pointed on top. Why did they change????

My guess would be so the Stronghold and Talon keys would be interchangable. I know my SH key fits my Talon, but I never tried it
the other way around.

If that is the reason, they should have made all of the chucks so that
that the original key would fit them all. Bob

What they told me was that they brought the manufacturing of the chucks in
house so they had better control. In doing so they changed the toothing (?).
Soooooooooo, I guess I need an 11 tooth key.
