Small woodturning chuck

[Arnold9801]

Does anyone know where I could get a mini chuck for my small record lathe?

You could start here, the RP2000, it's only 62mm in dia. http://www.recordpower.co.uk/category/c ... ws--spares

Cheers Lofty...

I have just found a 50mm chuck with a 1Mt arbor by RDG tools at £52.00.This is the ideal size I am looking for. I do like Records chucks mind you.

Will still research before I make a decision. Any further advice would still be appreciated.

No help I know but intregued why you need such a small chuck?

I don't know what lathe you've got but the normal method for mounting a chuck on a lathe is on a screw thread, not on a morse taper, esp a MT1. Record are usually 3/4" 16tpi, which pretty well any chuck will fit with the correct insert

I doubt that you will find wood chucks smaller than this.

Remember that any Morse Taper mounted chuck used in a Lathe Headstock needs retaining with a drawbar if you are not to stand the risk of it coming adrift whilst spinning.

If this occurs and you are lucky it just stops and drops out, the alternate is that centrifugal forces cause it to spin in ever increasing diameter circles until it crashes into the tool rest or flies off at a tangent.
