Hi all,
You may have read my recent post about changing the backplate of a chuck - or, in my case, NOT
.
My current lathe which I am thinking of changing is 3/4" x 16TPI, lathes I am looking at are M33 x 3.5. The backplate on my chuck cannot be changed to M33 x 3.5.
So it looks like I will need to buy a new chuck when I change my lathe. I want a good quality chuck. My first thoughts are to buy the same chuck, the Axminster SK114, in M33 x 3.5.
But there are other chucks out there and I was wondering what other people have and what you would recommend. Also what jaws have you found useful. I know this will be influenced by the type of work so, as I am at the start of my woodturning journey, I see myself making a range of items and my wish-list of projects includes candle-sticks, pepper mills, boxes, platters and bowls.
Thanks in advance.
Mike.
