Hello,
can someone please give quick approximations for lathe chuck forces:
*typical Chinese 4-5" chuck nondestructive maximum clamping force
*typical Bison 4-5" chuck nondestructive maximum clamping force
*reasonable clamping force for holding stock 1" diameter, 6" length, 6062 aluminium at 1000rpm for light cuts.
*reasonable clamping force for holding stock 1" diameter, 6" length, 300 series austenitic stainless steel alloy at 1000rpm for light cuts.
Just so I can get some idea of the forces involved. Higher end chucks have maximum clamping forces rated but I have yet to find info on low end chuck.
Thank you!
