Re: New Soba 50mm 4 jaw reversible M12 - how to reverse jaw in correct order?

Hi Gang: 2 jaw chucks are great for special jaws, turned to match the part. We had a 6 jaw and it was nice for thin wall work pieces, I think it also have 4 set screw to "Run True". Carl.

Re: New Soba 50mm 4 jaw reversible M12 - how to reverse jaw in correct order?

Re: New Soba 50mm 4 jaw reversible M12 - how to reverse jaw in correct order?

Re: New Soba 50mm 4 jaw reversible M12 - how to reverse jaw in correct order?
Rob, I hope you realize that this is just a 4 jaw version of a 3 jaw chuck. The advantage of the chuck with separate screws to move each jaw is that it¡¯s possible to hold items off center or more

Re: New Soba 50mm 4 jaw reversible M12 - how to reverse jaw in correct order?

Re: ER32 Collet Chuck
ER16 collets are cheaper than ER 32, and ER16 go up to 10 mm, which matches the hole through the headstock. I found little need for anything bigger, although I did get an ER25 set for my U3 just
