>At present I am useing a PSI universal chuck for turning. Completely happy with it. The problem is to much jaw changing. Would like to find another as a spare to save time. Itis 1" 8 threads. If you have one you want to sell or know where I might get one PLEASE let me know. THANKS George P.S. It doesn't have to be the same kind.

>I just bought a Nova G3 from Lee Valley if that's what you're looking for. It has the 1X8 tpi thingy.

Don't know what to do with it or how to use it, but by golly I got one! :)

>George - I have not seen a "one size fits all" chuck... Everything I have seen has a set of jaws for different diameter ranges.. Maybe you should invent one!!

>Can you get jaw slides for it? It's a lot faster to change the slides with the jaws mounted.
