Collet Chuck????
« on: June 27, 2009, 06:26:35 AM »
I have a Carba tec mini lathe and I need a collet chuck....Anyone know where I can get the cheapest price or even a used one? The factory wants $219  :down1: I just cant do that

I have some great ideas that I just cant do without one.

Al,
I don't have one either, but if I get one this is the one I'm getting. http://www.pennstateind.com/store/LCDOWEL.html
$90 plus some shipping.
HTH,

Stay away from the Wood River one that Woodcraft sells.  It is junk.  Mine had over 1/16" of runout and promptly went back to the store for a refund.  I've heard nothing but good things about the PSI model.
