Excited bought a surface grinder

Looking at the eclipse mag chuck i have, its massive and would act like a massive heat sink. But with tiny cuts it and the workpiece should never be more than a few degrees over stone cold.

Exactly. I watched one vid and I think he used a 20A power supply to energise the mag chuck, so the I^2R heat generation might be quite considerable?

I know the mag-drill base gets warm in use.

They do exist but are very specific

Rarely see those types of mag chuck here, the usual ones i see are the eclipse lever type. But with the electric chucks, they are not just on/off, you can adjust the force they exert.

He is a great old guy. I spoke to him fairly recently and he said they were planning on more videos - that was before CoVid though.

Solid but only a small footprint, very liable to tip when on a pallet truck or speedy forklift driver.

Or when some bell end of a delivery driver rotates the palletiser wheels through 90 degrees, thereby creating an almost perfect hinge. Don't ask me how I know.

Grandmother/eggs alert, but Handmade Extreme on youtube has a couple of his very clear videos, about setting up his 2nd hand s/g, milling the ways flat etc.

He posts here too. Highly knowledgeable and a damnably fine chap to boot.

I had a roof leak over my mag chuck few months ago, fortunately the machine other than the chuck was unharmed bloody frustrating. Oh the dream to build a warm dry workshop



Only a tiddler of steel 4"x4" its within 2um
