WELL i love it and if it ofends people screw them. YUP. personaly im sick and tired of this offending B/S ok im done with the political crap. Thats a very nice display piece.
I live out there (well pretty close ) i have fond memories of these from when i was a kid. I have many pis of them and the really old wooden one , they moved it to the city edge now. the paint on them is just about gone now. I wish they would restore them .
Yes i do like the 4 jaw much better, but it will take me a bit to get used to quickly setting it up. Im pretty happy with the new 4 jaw . I got the 4 inch with the back plate. it takes up a lil more room , but im happy with it.
you must have been out to coalinga at some point in time . those are all over the place there , but they let the paint get run down now. they used to be real pretty all painted up
oh yes but it will require making every one of them. i wont trust this chuck the way it is. . ive ordered and recieved a 4 inch 4 jaw from little machine shop . i just broke down and got a good one. my 3 jaw is 0.27 off and ive screwed it up now by trying to grind it true. so is flippin usless...
i like this as well. another tool to use. i too have 3 or 4 of these chucks not doing anything and it can be adapted right over to the drill press as well.
yes this is something that i should have followed on because my father also taught me dont buy cheap stuff. but i failed to listen and i have payed the price. i had though about trying to make a better screw for it but . ive just decided its not worth the effort. im trying to decide what to do...
ok i think im gunna just cut this chuck down and make a flat plate with either a grove or holes for a dog to work in. i was hoping somebody had some other ideas but i quess not. so off to the band saw to cut the baby down to size
blogs this is the second chuck . i sent the other one back . this has been over a year ago . i just gave the seller very bad reviews and just threw the chuck in the junk box im done with the seller. i just ran across it yesterday and thought about weather or not i could fix it or make something...
