G'day
About a year ago I had a bowl explode on me and part of it hit my set of standard vicmarc jaws which were sitting on my sawbench behind me and I was only able to find three jaws .
I thought it'l turn up eventually . In the meantime I have been using a set of shark jaws which do almost everything the standard jaws will do .
I have just finished doing an extensive cleanup from one end to the other of my shed with no sign of the missing jaw .
My question is , do any of you multi chuck owning turners have a set of standard jaws for a vicmarc chuck that are surplus to requirements and would like to sell them to me for a fair price before I lash out and buy a new set .

Ted, every shop has one. It's called a Black Hole. Things go in never to be seen again.......... Jerry (in Tucson)

TedTed, I'll have a look next time I'm around at my workshop.

If it was Nova I could probably help out. All of my Nova chucks came with a set of 50mm jaws, most of which have never been used.

By the time I was buying Vicmarc chucks the option of a companion chuck that came without jaws was available so I tended to go with them and then add the particular jaws I required.

And you do know that the minute you get them the missing one will turn up. i dropped a piece from a machine had all the workshop out and could not find it, next day it was found sitting on a machine that i had moved.
Have you noticed that where you think you heard it drop it will be in the totally opposite direction.

I have found a dead radio speaker that has the ceramic magnet dragged around behind and under benches will find all manner of lost steel and iron bits and tools.
