Hi Kev It looks to me that your machine is that which Machine Mart sell as the Clarke CL500M combi? in which case they sell a 4 jaw chuck to suit as an optional extra, I know as I had the same machine prior to my changing. A good solid machine for beginners (usual disclaimer), if you have the funds buy the chuck from them so no need to faff on with back plate machining & drilling. Cheers George |

Kevin, It may well be that if the register diameter is a standard/preferred size then Machinemart may not be the only option......if you remove your existing chuck and measure the recess diameter it may be the same size as a standard "recessed " chuck....For instance a typical 125mm chuck may grace an internal reg diameter of 95mm |

Thanks Kev |

£180 Machine Mart but you know you will have no messing about and a direct fit. Remove 3 jaw and measure the register. Measure best you can the pcd for the four fixing bolts. If 95 pcd think I have found a good buy from Rotagrip far better quality http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vertex-160mm-4-Jaw-Independent-Lathe-Chuck-/360828915829?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item5403145075 Need a direct fit on to the register since you wont be able to machine to fit the chuck unlike L00, L0 and D series fittings where better to machine the back plate to fit the chuck. |
