Last Saturday I took a chance and ordered a revolving chuck on Ebay with free shipping for my lathes tail stock. The FedEx tracking number showed it leaving New Delhi right away, going thru Dubai, Italy, Memphis, Vancouver, Victoria, and delivered to my front door today! That’s five days from India and it takes a few weeks now to mail a letter across town?
As a bonus, besides being very reasonably priced, the item appears to be of much higher quality than I was expecting. This seller got five stars feedback from me and I’m definitely going to be checking out their store.
Mumbles, you got me curious. What particular operation would
one use a tailstock chuck? Perhaps I need one!
I’m guessing your rig is a lot sturdier than a live center on the end
of a shaft, but you could not machine the end of the shaft with
your chuck attached.
Sign me curious…..
Prepare to be boarded!
