Left hand threaded chuck

[100361]

Can anyone help me with this,I have a General 260 lathe with outboard turning,the spindle thread is 11/8x8 left hand outboard and 11/4x8 inboard, I am looking for a chuck to fit the outboard side,any suggestions please.

You could get a chuck like a Versachuck and get a backplate threaded to suit, you could then use the same chuck inboard and outboard.

Oneway makes chucks that use adaptors. They have 1-1/8 - 8 RH/LH for the Stronghold and Talon chucks.

Oneway makes high quality tools in Canada and have been for a long time. Fitting since the General was also made here.

thanks Pete,but I think shipping will be expensive,nearly as much as the chuck!

Thanks for your reply,it looks like a backplate is the way to go,I’ll have to do some ringing round.

Thanks for your reply,my chuck is an APTC 4in diameter,could you make a backplate for this?

Could you make a backplate so I can use my existing chuck? Thanks

 

[flh801978]

I could but if backplates are available commercially it’ll be a lot cheaper to get one of those

Could you give me some idea of what it would cost?
