I think for £80 you just couldnt make it inc parts a labour even close I suspect

seriously impressed the the one @Hood has received especially as it stainless hes using it on

Yes, my thoughts as well, I was always going to make one but with the time involved and material cost it made no sense.

ER32 chuck from Temuuuu sale, some people will probably think chinese crap but I really don't see anything wrong with it. So, I needed to make a backplate to hold in on the boxford spindle.

Piece of 3/4" thick plate I have had for over 40 years and kept outside and another piece of round something.

Threading 1,1/2" BSF 8tpi

And that is as far as I got as I broke the tip on my home made threading tool and it still needs a couple of spring cuts.
Plain recess before the thread is so it will tighten against the spindle register.

It fits on the spindle


Milled a couple of flats so I can make a spanner for removing it off the spindle


It's very true.
