Re: SL-10 6” 3 jaw chuck question
hy turbo, you got it right there is also these :
... if spindle mount <> chuck, then you can use an intermediate adapter plate : thus for both bigger or smaller chucks
... drawtube having the correct threads may not be enough, sometimes also it's length matters; in such a case, are these variants :
...... a) is possible to shorten it to suit the new chuck, so it may no longer suit the old chuck
...... b) if it has to be longer, you can't strech it, so it may be needed to modify the nut of the chuck
please consider, that is possible to modify that nut also for case "a)", so this allows to keep same drawtube for actual and previous chuck
from this perspective, some chuck vendors do sell chucks with blank nuts, that you simply modify to suit whatever you have
it helps to have the corect dimensions for your spindle, and compare them to the product dimension before buying; at least you will have a clue how well will things fit / kindly
ps : that girl from the avatar : will she make it ?
