I have a small job to do for a friend. I need to cut some 6mm threads into some square section brass. I wanted to do it in the lathe but just did not want to go to the effort of lugging the 4 jaw chuck up onto the lathe.
So I bought a small 4 jaw chuck (100mm) and made a mounting plate for it that slots into my 3 jaw chuck. So for a small quick and dirty job - here is my solution.
The mounting plate is made from an upcycled hub from a small chinese built camper trailer I used to tow behind our motor bike.
I am sure there are other options but I think this will be a useful bit of kit to have on the shelf for small jobs requiring a 4 jaw chuck.
Cheers Mal
