Chuck
Re: Chuck
Is this supposed to be an ISO ad? Or are you looking for recommendations? New or used? I like plain back with a back plate so I can use the chuck for something else later on. If that's not what you're asking, say what you want.

Re: Chuck
That's what I did; then you have a wide choice of chucks.
I bought a couple of cast iron rough blanks and cut them to suit. Good fun and educational for a beginner like me.

Re: Chuck
Raw or semi finished C.I. chuck back plates and plain back chucks are just about standard in stock items at any industrial tool supplier. And today I think I'd always buy a 3 jaw that has the two piece jaw design. Having the ability to add shop made soft jaws can be a real useful option.

Re: Chuck
---I don't have a NEW chuck but I've got a decent used 6" chuck off of my old 1950 era Craftsman lathe
---it has the 1-1/2-8 threaded backplate---but only has a set of 3 hard jaws that are for gripping from the inside
---I have degreed the OD of the back plate in 10 & 5 degree increments
---if you have an interest in it I'd consider an offer

I bought a 5" chuck from them with bolt on tops for my index head. I am happy with it.
