Cheers Waldo , did see it. That chuck is earmarked for Chrisb691

DJ, if you now find yourself with unclaimed 1"x8tpi, don't forget that wodwork wally wanted one.

That is a real bummer for those 3 members, you have my symphathy!o

Thanks BS for that and DJ there should be an email on your your pad Thanks again Wally Christmas is here and Santa is real

It's what!?

[DJ’s Timber]

It's what!?

Waldo, as I was trying to say on the phone earlier today, I would have to pick it back up as you were the last in line to ask for one and it's not fair on Chrisb691 to miss out due to the fact that he reserved his earlier.

If you look back at post 129, you will see how I reached that conclusion.

Sorry if there was some confusion

I must've been confused, i thought you were coming around just to check it was a 10tpi thread as some were buggered or something sa la vie.

1 1" x 8tpi still up for grabs

[ss_11000]

Thanks Stirlo, your payment has come through and your chuck will be in the mail tomorrow

thats quick - it usually takes a couple of days to go thru i thought

[Gil Jones]

I apologize to you all for the inconvenience I caused because of those three chucks with odd threads (which I somehow mistook for 1" X 10tpi ), [especially to Crazyscew, Wheelinround and Waldo].
Also, thanks to DJ for discovering the problem, and repairing it so quickly, and expertly.

[ss_11000]

Most new lathes have a 30x3.5mm or 1-1/4"x8tpi.
.

alright. i'm pretty sure my thread size is 1" x 8tpi so i'll take one off ya hands Gil

cheers

Chuck arrived today. ( and the spare jaws from jim came the other day to )

i think my spindle is 1,1/4" 8tpi not 1" 8tpi so my chuck doesnt fit. i dont know how i mis measured it but i did. its definately 8tpi tho

it doesnt matter tho because the mini lathe i'm getting next year is a 1" 8tpi...that way i can turn when i go away. also i think at least one of the clubs lathe spindle is a 1"8tpi ( i just got to get around to going to the mettings...and its still good to grab one while they're going cheap

thanx again DJ
and thanx again Gil

HI Y'all,
Do any of your lathes use a 1" X 10tpi spindle thread?

Hi Gil,
Your thread form will probably be 1" x 10tpi BSF (British Standard Fine)

You are welcome, everyone, glad you will enjoy using them as I do mine.
Woodfast Aust, I expect you are correct, and all the 1" X 10s are in Australia now. These chucks are big time travelers.
Cheers!!!
