Hi All, When I got my lathe (second hand) it came with the 3 jaw chuck already mounted and up to now never needed to change it. The lathe came with a 4 jaw chuck and I'm a little nerves about changing it. The 3 jaw which is on the lathe as 3 bolts with nuts securing it in place and there looks like there is some locating holes on the back plate the 4 jaw chuck as 4 studs at the back and no locating holes Can anyone tell me how to mount both chuck's to the lathe? (I don’t mean both at the same time) Cheers Ian |

First of all, we need to know what brand of lathe it is? From your description, I would guess a SEIG or Real Bull variant, but we need to be sure. Looks to me like you need an adaptor plate for the 4 jaw. Chuck |

Just put the lathe type in my sig Chester DB10GVS |

Hi Ian, My guess is that the flange permanently fitted to the spindle has 6 or 7 holes (one hole may be common) and will take your 4-jaw directly. Those will be the extra holes you can see. (The 3-jaw and 4-jaw are supplied as standard with the lathe). Take the 3-jaw off and try it. Cheers. Phil. |

This is the very same type as I have, and the hole in the back plate fitts very well in 4-jaw chuck. The only thing you need is to be very care full when you are lossing the nuts, have a pice off tree to be shure. :coffee: |
