screw chuck and dead/live centers

[RollTide]

Been all over the place looking for a screw chuck( I guess that's what you call it...like for turning bowls or maybe bottle stoppers) and a 60 degree dead center. I would like to find both at one place but haven't done so yet. Anybody know?

You're supposed to be operating not posting on the internet. That's against company policy 'member?

Went to littlemachineshop.com and they had everything but a screw chuck.

Do you want to use a screw chuck or a scroll chuck? You will probably find it handy to have both.

You can find screw chucks at PSI, Packard, CSUSA, Woodcraft . . . etc. If it's a screw chuck you want, my vote would be for a Glaser screw chuck. For some reason, I'm getting the feeling that you're really after a scroll chuck. Right?

 

[RollTide]

I've got a scroll chuck. I'm needing a screw chuck and a dead center. I saw the screw chucks and PSI but I was hoping to find both at one place. Didn't want to pay shipping twice.

If your live center head unscrews, you might have a 1/2"-20 thread on the end. You could eaisly thread a block of steel and then drill a hole in the end of the block. This is something I could do for you if you have a spare morse taper which is has that thread on it. I don't trust myself quite yet to set up the lathe to make the taper, but I really should try to some day!

Which scroll chuck did you get? Many come with a screw chuck that is held in the scroll chuck.

 

[RollTide]

It's a scroll chuck from PSI. Don't remember exactly which one though....but it was the one that didn't have a screw chuck with it.

Steve I waited till i got to work to post this just for you. And I am operating(I'm operating this here computer.)[}] Wasnt sure what a pin chuck was but looked it up and i used a small piece of wood on my faceplate with a small screw in the middle to acomplish the same thing. Dont know if that would work for what you're doin but did for me.
