Lathe chuck ID

[BelgiqueB]

I have a Staral lathe which has a A2-4" spindle nose, what DIN type number is this? Want to order a 4 jaw chuck for my lathe and want to be sure to get the correct one, when I search using A2-4" I don't find any results locally (Benelux), maybe if I have the DIN number I'll have more succes.

Thanks, Christof.

you would normally buy a chuck without the back plate, then either machine up a new one or reuse the original after re-machining the register, far cheaper that way,

Thanks for the info.

The chuck mounts to the spindle using bolts going through the face of the chuck, so it be a hassle using a chuck back plate. Didn't really think about it when buying this lathe, but should of bought a lathe with a more common way of mounting the chuck, not very many cheaper new chucks available and can't find any second hand ones either.
