    But while I am at it, is the Leaddy chuck used with the centre round screw thing (has two holes for what looks like tightening (bit like that used on grinders to lock the wheels in)) and the associated screw in place or is that for another method of holding

    Steve the holes are for some sort of spanner/wrench But you shouldnt need one, as you rotate the work piece clock wise it will tighten up. OK you do need a cutter , but Mcjings dont sell them with a cutter , but you can pick up a 60mm Forsnter bit. If you can find a imperial size I think its 2-5/16. Bruce designed this chuck for secondary schools and it was in service for a great number of years. I have one and a ripper of a chuck, wouldnt part with it , so much so I have been thinking of making a small one around 30mm and or buying another from McJings
    From what I can gather Bruce is winding down so get in now, once he stops that'll be it.

    The original link to Bruce Leadeatter's was a dead link. Try this: Bruce Leadbeatter.

    Default Nope

    I still cant see any reference to the chuck I have and I did more than just have a "Dad look" as the kids call it
