My pratt chuck
Just to show all the tooling bargins aren't in Bendigo. Here is a chuck I picked up to file in the "gee I hope I use it one day" draw. Its 310mm in Dia, my lathe will spin about 165mm over bed. It might infact be more use on the mill.

Hi Stuart,
Very nice, a 12" 4 jaw would be a very handy thing to have around.
Looks heavy...what does it weigh?
Regards
Ray

Hi Ray,
I hope you're right.
Fancy making an old man go out in the cold!
Chuck is about 32kgs, adaptor(which I may or may not be able to modify to use) another 4kgs. Thats just about exactly $2 a kg.

That will be a handy chuck on the rotary table with the T slots in it, good score.

Good score Stuart. I just paid twice that for a 10". I guess you'll have to get a bigger lathe now.
What type of adaptor does it have? You could bolt it straight onto your rotary table. Unless you have the 3 slot rotab like mine. And I guess you don't want to remove your camlock adaptor. Or are you thinking of mounting direct to the mill table?

Good pickup Stu. Looks like the jaws are reversable too.

Hi Bryan,
No bigger lathe for me just yet lol
I'll post a picture of it. My rotary table has 6 slots so I doubt I'll be able to bolt straight to it. I'll have to try and pick up some 1/2" plate. I think the camloc adaptor would have to come off as it uses a lot of Z axis. I'll certainly come up with a direct table mount(which may or maybe not ever get used lol)
Hi J&H, I spend way to much time shopping lol
Hi Dave, Looks like it, I haven't even tried to take the jaws out yet, I guess I should get on that tomorrow and make a chuck key
