Yes Bernd, spot on. What it does is basically turns my lathe nose into a Myford one instead of a D1-4 camlock. But could be used on any lathe with a 2MT or larger fitting. No need for tool envy Bernd, these are for the other side of my machining 'empire', and are there due to necessity rather than anything else. I have just proved their use, not these ones, but other specialist tooling I have. I have just won a contract to make model steam engine valves. Got a phone call today yesterday to verify. All due to the accuracy I can now manually machine to. Now the struggles begin. The shop has to be fully operational within the next two weeks. John |

Many thanks gents. That goes to prove, if you are willing to put a bit of effort into it, you can beat the big boys in this game. It is not an earth shattering job, but as they say about little acorns. I forgot to add to the main post a piccy of the taistock chuck, and how it works. This little 80mm chuck should be able to hold up to 6" diameter tube. John |
