Thread: Vicmark jaws on a Bonham chuck

Hi all

I know this is a topic that has been raised a few times, but I now have the definitive info:

Vermec (Vermec) makes adapter plates that will let you mount Vicmark VM90/100 jaws on a Bonham or Nova scroll chuck. See

http://vermec.tripod.com/PDFs/adaptorplates.pdf

Apparently all the chucks use the same centres for the mounting holes, but the different brands use different sized locating collars between the jaw carriers and the jaws.

Vermec's adapters are $35 per set plus postage.

I have been trying for a while to work out if I could use my VM100 pin jaws on the Bonham 100mm chuck - hopefully by this time next week I will be able to report that the adapter plates work.

cheers, Colin
