Hi gang,
Anybody know the holding capacity of a 3" chuck? I found a new Bison

that much smaller holding capacity-wise than

Re: Chuck back plates
Hi Denny,
What is the brand and model of the tool post on John Gland's lathe?
The Aloris A2 that you gave me from your B-6 is a little too large.

Re: new chuck
Hi Dave,
Sorry to hear that you're having problems with your chuck. You are
