It's about time our metal lathe had some decent chucks. The lack of a usable 4-jaw chuck is particularly miserable! Your pledge will help to purchase new 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks and some cast iron durabar to make their mounting plates out of. Cost breakdown is:
- 125mm 3-jaw chuck $130
- 160mm 4-jaw chuck $149
- 2 pieces of 20mm thick ductile iron Durabar ~$50
