Hi guys!
For the past few weeks I have been looking to purchase a new chuck to go along with my new lathe. I initially bought an axminster k10 but I sent this back as I wasnt too keen on it, as it turns out it was a good move to send the chuck back as the new lathe has a different spindle size that what I had previously.
Anyway.... back on topic haha!
I have just seen that charnwood offer a viper chuck which is relatively new to the market, has anyone had any hands on experience with these? I have seen them at the woodturning show in the botanic gardens a few months back but I didn't really pay much attention as I wasn't looking for a chuck at the time. I have also just phoned the company local to me that sell them and they cant really say a bad word about them, now I am trying to take what they have said with a pinch of salt as they are the ones that are selling them and do not stock any other brands (as far as I am aware).
Now from what I can see, they seem to be pretty decent value for money, it states that the jaws are suitable for the dakota xt700 and the fox fx4000, would I be right in assuming that these jaws will also work with sorby and record power chucks? I dont have any other chucks but it would be a good advantage if they do work with the sorby and record range as the range of jaws would be exceptional!
Thanks for looking guys!
