Bill I will take the chuck. PM me with info for shipping and payment details. What I meant for the threads was the spindle thread size on the back plate. I have a Logan with 1 1/2" x 8 spindle threads and if your backing plate has this size thread i will take it too. Thanks Allen

I have one of these die holders that I bought at the GEARS show last year. I don't know what I would do without it now. Best investment I have made in a while. Allen

Hi I have found plastic charts with conversions from fractions, metric, number & letter drill sizes to decimals given out free at most industrial supply houses. I have 8 or 9 of these laying around the shop on every machine and bench so are always close at hand. Al
