This chuck was in the bunch of tools that came with my lathe.
I set it aside since it did not have the right thread.
Today I decided to clean it up and learn about it.
Although a bit of Purple Power was all it took to get rid of that rust-colored coating, I have not been able to find any information about it.
It is a 3-jaw self-centering chuck, 6" in diameter.
The only markings are "samson w" and "GERMANY" on the outside.
The jaws are numbered and have "549" stamped on them.
It came with a backplate with an M45x2 thread.
Since it is very close to 1 3/4"-12 it could be the latter, however the diameter is exactly 45mm i.e. 1.766 inch.
Any information would be welcome.:help:
