VB 36 lathe chuck / face plate bolt size
« on: January 24, 2018, 09:27:58 AM »

Can anyone advise me of the length and thread size of the bolts on the VB used to hold chucks etc to the headstock slotted mandrel. I want to order some more and stuck at work so cannot measure them at the mo!!

Thanks

I don't own a VB but believe they are M8 probably 25 or 30mm long.

On my VB, I use M8 x 30mm into my chucks. You can get them in boxes of 100 for silly money.
