    Looking for pin vise hardware!

    Hi , I’m looking to turn some handles for pin vices, but I can’t seem to find the individual chucks! Anyone have a source?

    Thank you so much!

    These might work https://www.busybeetools.com/product...chuck-set.html
    I couldn't find them on the grizzly site but grizzly does have a small pin chuck set reasonably cheap. I have also taken exacto knives and drilled them out to the size needed for small drills.

    Not a pin chuck, but a Dremel chuck with a conversion piece. https://www.ebay.com/itm/CHIC-3-17mm...gAAOSwIIxZkXHy I add a piece of 1/8 rod to the brass end and epoxy it in the handle.
    For a larger version I use the. https://www.ebay.com/itm/51mm-1-4-Mi...sAAOSwAaJaMTJe
    For a pin chuck you could use these and add the 1/8 rod to epoxy in. https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Pcs-0-5-3...AAAOSwrXdXJ~4H
    I prefer the mini chuck, they work for all the odd sizes, the second one is also available in a larger version. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-4-Mini-Sn...QAAOSwYSlXgzDh The last one is the simplest, a 1/4 inch hole, is a perfect fit. Add a little epoxy and the chuck holds everything up to a 1/4 inch.

    Thanks guys!
    To be more specific, I’m looking to make handles for wigmakers ventilation needles, which kind of look like small pin vises. I ordered this one on eBay to as a visual. Really specific and hard to find without the handle!

    You could use the one you posted. Measure the diameter and drill a blank, then turn and epoxy the handle in the hole. If you have sourced just the needles, you could use this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Pcs-0-5-3...AAAOSwrXdXJ~4H
    Add a 1/8 inch rod to the chuck back end and then drill a blank for a 1/8 rod that is about 2 inches long, turn and epoxy the rod vise in place.
