Hi folks,
I got 2 unknown 3 jaw lathe chucks with backplates. One is an Elliot 5" with as best as I can measure a 1 3/4" x 6tpi thread, there is also a 7 1/4" faceplate with the same thread.
The other is a 4" unbranded bit looks good quality, with a 1" x 12tpi thread. Both only have the jaws that stick out most in the middle (I want to say external jaws?!).
I think I may keep the 5" as I've only 4" on either lathe. What are the backplate and faceplate, and the smaller 3 jaw worth?
Cheers,
Dan
