that was a bit interesting- compact chuck flew apart
Cup of tea needed after this one. Using my little compact chuck I tightened it up and started turning then.... zing crash bang. Bits of chuck everywhere. After retrieval of pieces, non from my forehead fortunately, I realized what happened. These chucks are held together by a split ring in a slot behind the tension ring thingy. It had somehow slipped out and let the back of the chuck come away from the body so all the chuck segments did the centrifugal force thing and flew out.
All reassembled now. No harm done. But I now know what the inside of a chuck looks like. And now also own a pair of split ring pliers. And will also be keeping an eye on the split ring a bit more.

Some people will do anything for an adrenalin rush.
Very happy no blood was spilled.

It has become very much normal for someone to ask for photos.
Me too.
Where are the photos?

You are so lucky for not beeing in the flight path. Flying metal can do much more damage than airborne wood (smal pieces). What brand of chuck is it? I hope not Vickmark as I have 3 of them and 1 Teknatool.
Regards,
Joe v K.

You are a brave girl TL, to put it back together and use it again. Most would have binned it after that, if they didn't give up turning all together.

The Chuck.
Hi TL,
Are you saying it was the older Black Nova Chuck.
I like to clean mine every now & then, & I have one heck of a job, trying to get that Spring Clip out of the back of the chuck.
A bit of Graphite Powder goes a long way in these Chucks.
Lost a piece out of a very early Chuck, quite some time ago now, but have never found it.Regards,
issatree.
Have Lathe, Wood Travel.
