Sorry about this. The 120 chuck went on the lathe today, just waiting on some jaws which will hopefully arrive tomorrow so I can turn a basic lidded box out of 3 inch Murray Pine.
In the meantime, I was playing around hoping to put the new 150 chuck on the outboard side. But I could not for the life of me get the counter balance off the head stock. It must be left-hand wind but it wouldn't budge what ever I did. Any clues? Maybe, once I get it off, I think I need a left-hand thread for it?
Which leads to another question - can I leave both chucks semi-permantently on the lathe?
This wood turning caper gets more and more complex.
Hope someone can help.
regards Jeff
