I just bought a CHNC-1 that is being shipped in the next few days and I'm looking for a manual chuck to fit the A2-5 spindle, or an adapter plate to mount a manual chuck on an A2-5 spindle. If you are using a MANUAL chuck on your CHNC-I, II, III or Quest lathes, could you kindly post the brand and model number (and, if applicable, the adapter plate.)
I saw an HM306-5E on Ebay, but the -5E appears to be from a completely different machine and mechanism. Too bad... the price was perfect.
Thanks everyone - it seems reasonable; hopefully someone out there will have done this.
Torin...
