What model Axi chuck is this?

[woodpig]

Anyone know what model of Axminster chuck this is, I bought it quite a few years ago.

I'd like to know if I can still get jaws for it and an 3/4" x 16 adaptor for it should I relent and buy a Record Lathe.

That looks like a Clubman chuck. The jaws and accessory mounting jaws "should" still be compatible although a small amount of fettling may be necessary.

It looks as if it has an insert in which case these ought to fit...

But if it's a 1" x 8TPI thread on the chuck you ought to be able to buy a cheap thread adaptor for 3/4" x 16TPI even if you can't get an insert.

Thanks for that Jon. Probably best if I take it along to Axminster to make sure before I spend any money.

Looks like it's 80mm diameter?

The current 80mm accessory jaws should fit OK, (the 100mm ones would fit as well but could be a bit problematical due to standing proud of the body diameter and temptation to hold too big an item in them.) Adaptor for spindle may be a more significant problem though.

It's 100 mm dia Chas.

It's 100 mm dia Chas.

Then any of the 80 and 100mm accessory jaws will work, I use some 80mm versions on my 100mm chucks because of their smaller dovetail diameters. Nice clean looking chuck, hope you can get it adapted one way or another.

Worth knowing, thanks Chas. Saves me buying another one!
