Rear Chucks For Metal Lathes

REAR CHUCKS FOR METAL LATHES

After many requests I now have my Deluxe Cue Smith lathe chucks with a special adjustable mounting bracket to fit many metal lathes and cue lathes with no machining. It has adjustable screws for micro centering adjusting back plate and then the chuck is a self centering 3 jaw from there with a 1.400" bore. The price is $175.

Chris;

Is the faceplate threaded on to the axle or is it's ID large and expected to
be mounted on the outside of the axle?
Any dimensions or pic's on this ?

I was thinking on continuing with my Delrin collars but if this would work on my lathe I might put one on order

Happy new years.

It mounts over the spindle and locks down on the OD of the spindle and has adjustments to get it running true without any machining provided your OD is under 2 inches.

Sounds like a bargain if it is as you say which I have no doubt that it is. I spent at least a day making a dummy threaded spindle so that I could mount an adapter to true up before installing on the back of my lathes. It would have been much cheaper spending 175.00 for one ready made.

Thank you Chris.

Rockets has been fired locally and we're just sitting chatting 02:00 in the morning I guess you all are ready to shoot out for the party:thumbup:

I would need to check with my lathe supplier and get some dimensions since
the lathe would not be supplied until March (It's under production and then
needs 1 month shipping)
It has 1-1/2"/38mm ID on the spindle so I'm not sure how thick the spindle walls would be.
Would be great to see a pic Edit: of you're setup - Chris.

Thanks.

Chris is that chuck a pin or key type chuck?

It is the same pin rotating speed scroll chuck I have on the Deluxe Cue Smith Lathes. It will mount right on most medium size metal lathes with no machining.

Lathe

Will these mount to the back of a Mini Lathe ?

That is probably too small of a spindle to accept my adapter.

I would not like that idea of trying to put the indexing holes in this chucks back plate, so I will have to pass on building it that way. These back plates are already completed.

I finally got the feedback from my lathe manufacturer that the lathe is done and the OD of the spindle is 46mm.

Would this be a squeeze - fitting it on the spindle?
Also, are you fixing it to the spindle with set screws?
Is the set screws the one you use to adjust them to the center?
What would the OD be on the collar going over the driving spindle ?

Some pictures would helped.

Rear Chuck

I thought I could help Chris and post some pics of his setup here since I have
received his unit and did a very quick install tonight (Edit: not dialed in).

The chuck seems to be good quality and it mounts nicely on my main spindle.
As you can see there is a nice adjustment setup to dial it in and then fixate
with the larger bolts. I was tempted to continue with my delrin collets
(which would be threaded inside the main axle) but I think this setup
would speed things up.

Highly recommended, for sure worth the price and you save your self some extra time.
