Emco Compact 8 chuck

[Lee123]

Hey all,

So I've been doing some research and it appears the spindle nose for these old lathes are DIN 55021 (size 3?).

Does anyone make adaptor plates for these? My chuck Jaws are in bad shape (missing teeth) and it's hard to come by replacements...

I was going to try and make my own but with bad Jaws I can't seem to make anything worth while...

Any ideas/thoughts are appreciated!!

The spindle is definitely a DIN 55021 but I forget which type it is. You'll have to measure yours to be sure. I am attaching the pertinent data below. Once you figure out which size you have, you can search for an appropriate plate.
