| Boxford Rotary table adaptor |

Just looking at Stews thread on the Stephensons indexer - what about using a 2MT ER32 collet chuck straight down the MT of the rotary table. I`m not trying to get anyway from this adaptor, I still want to use my boxford chucks but I`m just thinking of additional ways of holding the work in the RT. I have a set of ER32 collets and 3MT chuck for the mill, but I`m guessing a 2MT chuck would hold work really securly in the RT as well. Am I missing something that would stop me doing this? I know I could use a 3MT - 2MT adaptor to use my current chuck but this would increase height above the table. The chuck is also pretty skinny so would fit nicely under the chuck. Obviously, limited to 20mm thickness but I`m guessing it would be a good way of holding work? Chris |

If you do get a smaller chuck, I suggest getting one with 2-piece jaws and making soft jaws for it. You can very y make these shorter than the harf uppers and save some space that way, in addition to getting more accurate results. |
