Chuck storage
Hi,
This is the last one on stuff like this, but they all may give ideas for storage.
Ray, you can now see why I am sick of house paint, LOL
These are made the same as the rotary table ones, but most of these have to go into the filing draw so hight was a problem. Because of that I had to use a thin base and lid to get them in.
The bottoms have a false floor with a cut out to locate the chucks in the centre and the cut out in the lid was only to keep the height down.
It's so much easier being able to open up a draw and hooking up a different chuck with out even moving anywhere. The one on the floor is the 10 inch chuck on a face plate and was to big and heavy for the draws, so it lives under the lathe on wheels.

Hi Dave,
I see the problem...
Just a thought, regarding your rust problem, have you heard of golden rods?
Goldenrod Dehumidifiers | Dehumidifiers for Gun Safes, Airplanes, Cars, Boats, Cabinets, etc.... might be worth checking out for your tool cupboards.
Regards
Ray

Hi Ray,
I am just on my way out to Bollies place to pick up a new machine, so I will check that link out when I get back, thanks.
Dave
Did I mention I still have loads of ply off cuts and this never ever made a dent in it.

on the same topic of storage, i try to keep mine as dust and contaminant free as possible (running a boiler shop and blacksmithing doesn't help) but i more often then not find tight spots on the chuck, all be it winding or unwinding it. surface rust doesnt phase me its when i think its locked on tight and ive infact hit a tight spot on the chuck, haven't had the misfortune of starting it up with any slack there but im sure with dementure setting in it won't be too far off,

Thanks Dave,
The painting was a pain as the house enamel stays soft underneath for days ,so you cant sand it down for the next coat unless you wait.
Kraits,
Are you talking about threaded spindle and chucks? As all of mine are D1-4 mount.
I try to keep my chucks clean, but find I end up pulling the 3 jaw apart at least every 6 months to clean it out. The 4 jaw ones are easier to keep clean out without having a scroll.
