| How KITAGAWA lathe power chuck works? Manual mode? |

Thank you, but I think this is more simple, just a drawbar (pushbar?) in the middle and simple wedge actuating mechanism. http://www.kitagawa.global/en/products/power-chucks/closed-centre-chucks/n-06 Still....if it had a big box jaws, I would be very tempted, but to use it manually would be too much of a task. I thought I could use a simple threaded tube a-la manual milling machine draw bar. Pekka |

No reason that you couldn't fit a 'draw tube' to the back of the chuck through your spindle, and have a threaded 'closer wheel' rather like a collet closer to tighten and hence close, the chuck. You might have to be a bit inventive if your spindle bore is a bit small :scratch: |
| PekkaNF:
That turned out to be a red herring....Fine in all the counts but it is missing the centre part (wedge tha moves the jaws), it has T-nuts, but no jaws....explains the 160€ asking price. Type is B206, pretty good othervice. Pekka |
| awemawson:
Bad luck :( The one I fitted to the Traub said in it's documentation, that it was entirely interchangeable with a B206 - a very nice bit of engineering by Schunk |
