Title: Draper AWL40 combination chuck
Post by: Stormin on September 28, 2021, 08:53:46 AM: Does anyone have instructions for assembly and use of this chuck?
I’d appreciate a scan/photographs

You may be right that it was made by A N Other,
It has 3 part jaws, not the now usual 4
Any ideas?

Have you called Draper? They may have what you are looking for in their library. Their website has all the contact numbers

I don’t have it anymore, having passed on the lathe and chuck to a friend’s son
I’ll try to get a photo of the components and post it

The chuck is more than 20 yrs old!
