Bonham 130 chuck

[iron bark]

Still new at this game, - recently got a Hafco WL18A - 2nd hand but in pretty good nick - it came with a Bonham (Made in Aust) 130 scroll chuck.

I have done searches and gather that Bonham no longer trade due to "clones:no: " being introduced - sad because it looks to me to be a pretty well made chuck

Question - can it be successfully made more versatile with other jaws etc or should I just look at other chucks on my next visit to C/tec and H&F in Brisbane:cool:

Cheers,

I have a Bonham chuck in my collection.
I will take the Nova jaws.
I have a couple of sets for it.
It is a good chuck, i have an insert for it to go on my big home made lathe & one to go on my Jet Mini.
It looks a bit funny on the Jet Mini but I use it with the 130mm Jaws for reverse chucking small bowls to clean up the bottom. :2tsup:
