changing nose

<< < (2/3) > >>

Swarfing:
Chris the A1 mount relies on bolts through the chuck straight through the back plate and into threads in the nose.

bambuko:
You are indeed correct - it uses bolt not stud.
I can see your problem now.
Did you talk to Rotagrip (link in my previous posting)?
They are selling A1 chucks.

Chris

BTW A1, D1 etc are imperial in origin not metric (even if your French friends decided to bastardise it by using metric bolts ...)

and that's what you want (or something very similar):

be prepared for £500 :bugeye:

Swarfing:
Oh yes i saw these hence why i'm trying desperately to go they way of my thoughts. There are quite few different variations but the Europeans (excluding the UK) stuck to the basics in metric form. The d1-4 mounted chucks should have enough meat for me to bolt to the centre circle the same as the one i have. I really need somebody that has these screws on show the same as this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290512794733&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT (bare in mind i only need an 160mm chuck) to confirm if they go all the way through.

Thanks

Paul

PS the lathe cost me less than that ;-)

bambuko:
What about getting something like this:

than you can fit any plain back chuck rear mounted to this backplate?

Chris

ps I would double check HBM chucks .... - sometimes it is genuinely cheaper to spend more :thumbup:
Assuming that your budget extends that far, Vertex would possibly be better, and Bison (Toolmex) or TOS would definitely be better choice?

Swarfing:
Chris i appreciate the sentiment but i have an independent for four four jaw that mounts directly to the nose already. If i could i wold love to change the nose for a D1 mount to make life even easier but without making one (which i still might do) are hard to come by. Because the nose is very flat against the machine i could afford to bolt the mount directly to the existing A1?
