    Using this for a weld fixture application. Works perfectly.

    Looks like a good buy for the money - I like that they were honest about the chuck capabilities in the ad.

      It was definitely a better option than paying the same money for a knackered old British/American chuck.

    May be i was just unlucky , i bought a 125mm 4jaw self centering chuck , over 2mm of run out between the outer surface of the chuck & center of jaws . Im going to try grinding the jaws 🤔

    • @TweedsGarage

      have you tried mounting the chuck and put a gauge pin in the chuck and clock that to see what the run out is as this is what matters ? ( not teaching you to suck eggs, its just a suggestion )

      Hi , yes i have set the jaws to a gauge pin & gauge , got it within 5 thou , as you say thats the main thing , to do that i had to open up the holes in the face plate by 3 mm to allow adjustment , its the outer perimeter of the chuck that now runs out causing vibration. I did think about machining the outside of chuck & its centre hole but im not sure it would solve the problem . I should have researched them more , a bit misleading describing them as 'LATHE ' chucks .thanks for your reply

    That is ideal for your dividing head, it will not get as much use as on the Lathe so will be a really good chuck, the plastic does not really cause a problem in this case, and at least you have both sets of jaws, so many that come fitted to the dividing head have just the one set, the other set being left on the shelf in the stores! I wonder if the chuck would be balanced enough to fit on to a Lathe? Chris B.

      It does say it's suitable for general lathes so I'd say it'd be fine for most hobby lathes but for higher rpm lathes probably not so much, but for the money it was pretty good.

    Bison do a great range of high quality lathe chucks which are considerably less expensive than Pratt Burnerd items.

    • @TweedsGarage

      I did consider a Bison chuck but the Pratt Burnerd came with a matched D1 camlock backplate and were on sale so by the time you'd added the price of a universal backplate for the Bison there wasn't a lot of difference .

    Milton Keynes - all those roundabouts - pure witchcraft.
    That chuck - pretty decent at fifty odd quid - also witchcraft 😉

    That seems OK for the price. How accurate is the dividing head?
    The state of that mill! Jenkins needs a kick up the Isle of Man.
    Just a general comment, but you seem to be keeping bad company lately.
    First Iver Beanpaidalot and now Iver Broomstick, have they some sort of hold over you?
    Thanks for the video and the review of the chuck.

      My pleasure Colin, I'll stick a clock on the dividing head and let you know, it should be good as its a quality piece of kit ....I'll wait until the " celebrities " have left the building...

    You didn't actually test the capabilities of the lathe turning

    • @TweedsGarage
      @TweedsGarage  3 месяца назад

      I bought it purely as a way to hold work on the indexable rotary head , i wouldn't recommend it for heavy lathe work.

      @TechTimeElectronics 3 месяца назад

      @@TweedsGarage but have you actually tested it on heavy work ? Have you spun it up and tried to cut anything on it. I asked because there are other people who have used it and said it was all right

      @TweedsGarage  3 месяца назад

      @@TechTimeElectronics no its purely used for work holding on the mill, I'm sure its fine as i said on the video for small lathes but if you want to take heavy cuts on a lathe your better of buying a quality chuck, at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

    I was hoping to get to see a run out test. What do think the accuracy is as it came, and what's the max speed that its rated for. Cheers.

    • @TweedsGarage
      @TweedsGarage  Год назад

      I've checked it for you, on a 10mm gauge pin it has a run out of between 1 to 3 thou on multiple mounts and as for the speed , its not marked so if you're intending on using one on a lathe I'd check the spec first ( if your lathe states it requires a high speed chuck i wouldn't use it) . I use it purely for holding work on the rotary dividing head .

      @@TweedsGarage Brilliant, thank so much. My max speed is only 1710rpm and my existing 100mm chuck had 3 thou run until I adjusted it on the register. Seems it could be an economical way of upgrading to a larger chuck. Just need to figure out an adapter backplate. Cheers.

    When you start shilling for Vevor you've reached the bottom. The only thing worse than Vevor products is their customer service.
