TO all,

I am looking for a few upgrades for my lathe and was having trouble finding what I needed.

Does anyone know how makes a 6 jaw high precision chuck that will fit a D1-8 cam lock spindle?

Any information on suppliers would be greatly appreciated.

Good Shooting!!!

50, have you tried MSC? www.mscdirect.com You may have to buy a plain back chuck and an adapter to fit your D1-8.

I got a 6 jaw Buck Chuck from rec.crafts.metalworking.
I have got lots of tooling from Ebay.
I have been to lots of machine shop going out of biz auctions.

And then there is the retail new price at MSC, J&L, Enco, etc.

I buy a lot of stuff from KBC Tools. Have a look at www.kbctools.com Regards, Bill.

At the risk of commercialism, you might check out my website at www.shoptools.com You would probably want to contact our Denver store as they are closest to you. We are a distributor of machine shop supplies and while MSC is a competitor, they tend to offer the low price/import stuff while we try to provide more service/higher quality. Kind of like Home Depot vs Lowes
Good Luck!
