I tried your method Phil. There's something to be said about the knowledge and expertise of old tradesmen..

The chuck must have weighed 25 to 30kg.. it was very heavy.. I had it blocked up with timber so that it didn't fall when I removed it..

Hi Flo,
Now that you have got that chuck off, its very important that the threads and register, both on the spindle and in the chuck are kept scrupulously clean and well lubricated. Otherwise you might find that a speck of swarf in the threads or on the register will make it very hard to unscrew when you come to remove it next time.Best Regards:
Baron J.

Hi Flo
that is fantastic news. It would be a good idea to heed Barons advice and make sure the threads are meticulously clean plus the face that meets with the corresponding face on the chuck backplate.

Agreed.. The chuck is going to get disassembled and inspected as there is a tonne of wear in the pinions and jaws. I love mucking around with this stuff.. I'm like a kid in a lolly shop!
Does this spindle type have a proper designation?
Apologies to all for my amateurish questions regarding this lathe, and unfortunately there's plenty more where those came from! Not being a machinist by trade I am learning as I go and very much appreciate the wealth of knowledge on this forum and those willing to share it!

No need to be sorry. You are keen to learn about this stuff and that is something that seems to becoming more and more rare with younger people.
As for "Not being a machinist by trade" so what? As above, you are keen to learn. I know of one bloke on this forum who doesn't have a trade in fitting and machining, is pretty much self taught, and is a far better machinist than a lot of trained machinists - and I include myself in that group as well. I'm sure a lot of the others are in the same situation.
best of

Maybe, maybe not - there are quite possibly some suitable backplates sitting under benches.
I have this one I picked up with the intention of machining into an adaptor for my Macson but if it is a match then it would obviously be a crime to do that.
The thread is is 2 5/8" x 6TPI at a rough measurement so a reasonably beefy one and if that looks close I can get some more accurate dimensions.

I agree with Peter (Bollie7), there is no need to be sorry. Admittedly there might be other forums around that aren't so forgiving but it's certainly not the case with this forum.
As they say, "there are no stupid questions, just some stupid answers". At least you are asking, and make sure you keep on asking, It's a lot safer that way as well. Oh, and keep up with the pics, we love pics.
