$50 chinese Vicmarc100 lookalike
Scored myself a Vicmarc lookalike today for $50 from Carbetec Bris. Made sure actual Vicmarc jaws fitted before I bought it.
I always wanted another one for a spare set up with the pin jaws or bowl jaws and keep the real one for my shark jaws, but at around $250, couldn't justify it.
They had one more left but was slightly different and didn't check it out properly. It was tempting to buy both, but I wanted to make sure it worked Ok. So far so good.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Sounds like an awesome! buy. Extra Chuck bodies are good to have on hand, and for that price you can stand a little filing if necessary. Find any Nova look-a-likes, let me know. )

There is no brand on it, but it did come with a 33mm/3.5 adaptor, the other one had a larger adaptor. My lathe is a Jet1442 with 30mm/3.5 thread, so I had to buy another adaptor to save swaping my other one over.
It was in a bin of all sorts of things on special. I also got a strange set of forstner bits with long shafts and a side cutting edge, so it can cut down then sideways like a router bit. I also got some tailstock centres for only $5 with no2 MT.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Allen, check out this site http://www.grizzly.com/products/sear...x=0&submit.y=0
The VicMarc knockoff scroll chucks, and jaws at the top left are a match, and the jaws interchange with my VicMarc 100. The chuck and jaws work well.
Your Nova look-alikes are on the last two rows, but I doubt that they would fit your lathe spindle.
