I suggested a bit of quality time with a belt sander & 1/4" hex key.? Very few people make a hex key from scratch these days. :) Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live

I can NOT believe this thread grew this many legs. If SAE does not fit get metric allen wrenches. Hell for a metals forum no one is jumping in to MAKE your own! Weld on some metal to your SAE allen

I have a 6" Craftsman 4 jaw chuck that came on my South Bend 9" lathe, and it takes a metric hex key (Allen wrench) that isn't in most sets of Allen wrenches, maybe a 7mm if I remember right.? A 1/4"

Did you need a receipt ? I broke one of those 1/4" drive socket adapters . I went to replace it? &? I was talking to a manager ( who had no idea where they were in his store ) he told me they had a

I have confirmed with Harbor Freight that they do exchange broken allen sets for new if the old failed. Darn fine warranty! Jim

Then you probably need a 15/64th . Good luck finding one at the usual sources. I tried to find one online, and no joy.? You could try spending some quality time with a belt sander and a 1/4" hex

After that many years it is probably worn . I would take a 1/4" allen and a diamond file and make a tool that fits better. Dusty wrote:

The chuck is original to the lathe. It dates back to 1930 ish. It was my friends first lathe as a boy. He was 80 some when I got it. His allen wrench was 7/32". It feels loose. Marty

15/64 is the between one , I'd take the chuck to the store & see what fits . Isn't 1/4 " a bit small for a 6 " chuck ? My 4" 4 jaw takes a 1/4 , but the 5 & 6 take larger ones , I'm guessin their

Maybe you need metric. Here are some set choices available from Harbor Freight. Other merchants offer similar ones. Charles

What is the proper allen key to use with the Craftsman 101 6" lathe chuck? I have used a 7/32" key but, it seems loose. 1/4" is too big. The original owner verified that I should use a hex key but,

An Oreck XL010-0604 seems to work just fine. That's what was on it when I got it. Walmart has them for under $6 each.? They probably won't last forever, but I can worry about that later. ;)? Figured

Bill in OKC, try https://westcoastbelts.com/contact-us/ I have had good dealings with them, found a belt for an old 8 track player there. They also do custom belts, I'd call them to locate the belt

Yes, the switch is on the cord, a couple of feet from the TPG. Cord looks to be 15 or 20 feet long. May try to get that squared away today, if I can. Wife has been particularly sick the past couple of

Thanks Robert . animal

The line switch on my factory TPG is in the line cord.? The unit was bought the summer of 1980, about a year before the last 3996 rolled off the assembly line so it's a safe assumption that all of

I don't know if yer pic's showed the switch , is it on motor . My Atlas TPG has the switch on the cord .My grandma would have liked that . She had so many things plugged into those old extension cords
