Interesting chuck adaptation and excellent photos. Has given me food for thought for special chuck applications – thank you. Avoids spending money on commercial chuck products. I never throw away good chucks from broken electric drills. They can serve a similar purpose of holding small items without obstruction. Unlike your masterpiece Anthony, ordinary chucks have a very limited capacity for holding screw heads inside the chuck. Just remember that if held by the outer (knurled) sleeve, it could be less accurately concentric, and a high cutting force could possibly unwind the jaws of the smaller chuck. I tried moderate cuts on a 3/8th mild steel work-piece with no problem with the chuck unwinding (Fig. 1). Smaller stock certainly no problem (Fig. 2) So, if it has a shaft of some sort attached to the main body, use that. If the shaft has a morse taper that you have no use for, machine it parallel.

Hi Brian When clicked on, your pics only show a portion of the original. Your pics need re sizing before posting, see details in GALLERY -- Photo re sizing by - Divided he ad. It is quite easy and most newbies need to do it when joining the forum. Good Luck Cheers David |

Hi David I've just posted an article headed 'centre marking . . ' in which I have been very pleased to follow your advice and link to the resizing app. Excellent. Is there any way one can review a post to include attachments before posting? Also, how long do postings allow modifications before that option disappears? |
