Lug Plate for a RP3000X Power Chuck

[David in Spain]

Hi Everybody

I´m stuck. The lug plate has vanished from my very old RP chuck. Anybody any ideas where I can find,buy, make one. Even a pattern/tracing would help.

I hope you are all safe and sane in these crazy Covid Times

Many thanks

Go no then what's a lug plate

Hola Woodspinner

It´s a flat metal  ring with 3 lugs on it that sort of positions the 3 jaws. I had to find a manual to find out what it is called. Trying to het hold of one is proving difficult. RP no, D and M No.

I won´t give up.

Un saludo

Hi David

3 Jaws indicates a metalwork jig, you may have more luck on an engineering forum. Most woodturners switched over to 4 jaws a long time back.

I don’t think Record Power have ever made metalwork chucks? It’s just a rather odd design by modern standards.

Odd and also Old! my reasoning is that the 3 jaw chucks exist in the metal work side and possibly a lug plate would be a recognised term there, while in woodturning that would be pre or just post Peter Childs masterchuck convinced everyone that 4 was better! and I can't remember what the oojimiflip thingy was that I used last month let alone 40 years ago

@David I can't help with your question but where in Spain are you as I am also living there? It would be good to have contact with another British woodturner.

Hi All

Thanks for the reply. Still no luck . narrowed down to it being a One Inch Lug plate and it is shown on the Peter McBride site but that´s 2009..

Is the one inch diameter inside or out? I could have ago at fabricating I suppose. I could work backwards from the place it fits.

Thanks Again. I´ll keep trying

The above forum may be of assistance they are a good bunch and may have one or can fabricate one for you

David I know someone in Benitachel that could make one for you if that is near where you are.
