Jacobs chuck info required

[OldWood]

I've found in the guddle of miscellaneous that came from my Dad when he past away that I have a small 3/8" Jacobs Chuck without an arbor on it.

I've been using the 1/4" chuck from the ML7 lathe for drilling on the wood turning lathe ( and on occasions vice versa) but it would be sensible to reactivate this chuck onto a 2 MT arbor to save switching back and forth.

The chuck has the numbers K-10 AC 8/10 3/8 x 24. Can anyone help me with the thread that it will need for the arbor - I don't know if it will be a British one as it is a Sheffield make, rather than US.

Cheers
OW

3/8x24 is quite a common chuck thread but you won't get a cheap imported arbour a MT2 one will set you back about £20. for which you could buy a 1/2" chuck complete with arbor

Have a look at J&Ls virtual catalogue page 579 for a suitable arbour
