Evening Everyone,
Just placed my order with Santa (aka timberbits) for a vicmarc VM100 chuck. Short list was either this or the Ayao one reviewed recently. Not sure the original belt on the old tecnatools lathe manufactured in 1988 would appreciate getting the extra mass up to speed. While I may be able to add extra jaws over time, a second chuck is not an option at present. Of course if I actually bought lotto tickets I would stand a slightly better chance of getting some extra capital. I did a good read up on members thoughts before placing my order and while I did the cheap and nasty with the lathe tools, I think this was the right move. Thank you for your wisdom and knowledge and I hope to be using it in a week to create some of the Christmas presents we have planned for the family.
Cheers,
Mac
