Could try Googling then see who else might have it, contact them and ask if would be good enough to scan a copy to PDF and send it to you. Also Google images then will get links to other owners to ask same.

Hi Roger and wlcome to the mad house.

I started with an Elu that I bought second hand. It came with a Craft supplies collect chuck system.
Unfortunately my lathe developed an electrical fault and as spares are no longer available it is now sitting in my shed doing nothing.
You are right when you say it has an 18mm x2.5 spindle thread. I do know that several companies do an adaptor insert for their chucks so all is not lost.

I still have all the chuck system and a few face plates etc plus the old lathe which is good for spares. If you are interested let me know. I am not far away as I live a couple of miles from heathrow.

As usual everything is very heavy so postage is not really an option.

Hi Procell, I don't suppose you still have the chuck or faceplate for the Elu DB180 do you? My search so far has produced zilch. If so please contact Jahwoosh on here please. Many thanks.

The Record Power chucks (https://www.recordpower.co.uk/product/s ... Ig6jo3gqbk) have inserts to fit your lathe as do the Sorby Patriots (https://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/lrspc-patriot-chuck).
If you can't find faceplates, both of these chucks can use faceplate rings - a simple solution to your problems.
Record Power chucks are generally cheaper than Sorby, with jaws that are compatible with Sorby and able to take a M33 insert should you ever upgrade.

Many thanks Duncan will check these out further. Did see Sorby site, but their chucks are so expensive.

Record are knocking £10 off the SC4 in their Spring Promotion, now £129 - but you can probably get an even better deal if you go to one of the shows. The Midlands show is on 22/23 March in Newark but of course travel costs will add up - but should be a good day out.
