Lathe Chuck

[Robert Lang]

What is a decent and inexpensive lathe chuck that can be used on a General 160-1 lathe.

[Dick Strauss]

Robert,
I just added a post for the Nova midi chuck in the "deals" area. Woodcraft has them on sale for $100 and are including pin jaws as well as the normal woodworm screw and bowl jaws. This might be a good chuck to get you started.

+1 on the WC deal. A good little chuck! also the $99 Grizzly 3 3/4" chuck is a fine piece of equipment. A VicMarc clone who's jaws are interchangable with the Vic's. They have a decent selection of spindle sizes also..Bill...

Bill beat me to it but I do have 3 of the $99 grizzly chucks with Vicmarc jaws on them. Great chucks for the money.

Grizzley is a great chuck.

make sure you get the one with the right threads.. they have adapters for all sizes.

Check the W/C Nova sale. In the future, if you upgrade, all Nova jaws interchange, a nice plus.

I will check all these out tonight - thank you.
