My friend Mark Jacobs (@mksj) gave us a heads-up on the new Shars ER40 collet chuck a couple of months ago in this thread.
I bought the chuck and adapter plate from Shars and installed it on my PM1340GT. I thought I would share some detail via photos, video, and PDF here for others who may want a setup for their lathe.
Shars SKU numbers:
The chuck out of the box -
A few chatter marks at the end of the threads. Yes this bothers us perfectionists and I will likely skin those off there soon.
Nice ground finish for Chinesium!
Adapter shipped in used motor oil??
The backing plate/adapter and the chuck.
The adapter machined and ready for the chuck -
Adapter skinned out, chuck installed, and ready to be Trued-up.
Trued up and ready for next steps
I have also attached a PDF delineating some detail on machining the adapter plate.
Hope this helps others considering this purchase and adaptation to your your equipment.
