Went to the tool honey hole today. I found a 4" three jaw chuck made by Union Tool. It was mounted to a 1 1/2"x 8 TPI backing plate. I had to change backing plates to get it fit my lathe. My lathe came with a extra chuck that had a stripped hole in one jaw.
I had to cut a new register to the backing plate and bore 3 holes to mount it up. Fits great and has about .001" runout. Oh yeah had to make a key for it too! Very happy with my $24 purchase.
