Mini lathe chuck change out

[mac1911]

Find a friend with a bandsaw
My parting experience on my lathe with 3/4 hot rolled ended with me looking for holes in my roof, after I changed my shorts.
Jamming the lathe is not the worst thing that can happen.

I was thinking of a riot shield during the operation , lol
All jokes aside I will proceed with caution. All my friends come to me for tools.
I might have to get as close as I can with the parting tool then suffer with the hack saw.

Just be aware that a 4 jaw chuck is a relatively heavy chuck and needs a powerful motor to turn it, the LMS 4 jaw chuck that I have was bought from a member here (Roycess , may he rest in peace) who could not use it due to the smaller HF mini lathe that he owned, it is working alright on my LMS lathe but it still takes a few seconds longer to come to full speed or to a dead stop.
LMS is the best source of info for you as you already know, the LMS chuck I have is also sold with or without a back plate.

the 4 jaw i got, K72-125 VEVOR was exactly the same size and weight, exactly the same registration, drilled 2 holes to match up the 3 hole bolt pattern and it worked like it was made for it
