    Default 3 jaw chuck

    Wanting to buy a 3 jaw chuck that's beyond use for turning, prefer a face plate type of mount. Looking for something with about 30 mm bore, to use on a welding rotator.
    Thanks,
    Kryn

    I have a 4 jaw in my bin you can have for free. The jaws are too tight to use and I got the and threw it away.

    Yep, independent 4 jaw. 4 1/2” with really hard to turn adjusters. I tried to fix but couldn’t get it working any good.

    Can weigh it in the morning if you like to get a cost? Just the chuck as I’m keeping the back plate for mounting an ER chuck later.

    Hi Neevo, just thought I'd let you know the Good news and the Bad news. Good news I got the chuck today, the bad news is that I fixed it in about 1.5 hours and you're not getting it back.
    I think someone had a couple of these, pulled them apart for some reason and got the bits mixed up.
    Taking it apart and getting the adjusting screws out, I measured the gaps against the jaws and found that they were about .015 bigger than the gap. About a dozen strokes with a file on each side of the gap was all it took to get it operational.
    Thanks again,
    Kryn
