I've got a logan 9B, came with only a 4-jaw chuck. I'd like to find a 3-jaw for it. It has a 1-1/2" 8TPI spindle. I have found chucks with the proper thread pattern but they are pricey. I can find cheaper chucks like this one for example all day long, but they require a back plate. My 4-jaw DOES have a back plate, but I'm unsure if the bolt pattern and overall design is universal. I am leery to buy one of these cheaper chucks for fear they won't work with my backplate.
Can someone please tell me if these backplates are universal, or otherwise direct me to an inexpensive (hopefully under $150-200) self-centering 3-jaw chuck that is guaranteed to work with my lathe?
Thanks,
Strantor.
P.S. My back plate has 4 bolts, that are 4.5" apart, measured across the gap.
