Hi All.
Here's my dilemma: I have some larger straight shank tools e.g. drills larger that 1/2", reamers larger than 1/2", all with a shank larger than a 1/2" Jacobs chuck will take. I'm using a woodlathe with a MT2 tailstock taper.
I was thinking mounting a chuck to the tailstock and using appropriate jaws to hold the oversized tools. My question is, do you know of the best way to go about this, suitable jaws, etc.
I was thinking pin jaws possibly on a Vicmarc chuck. The alternative is a metal 3 or 4 jaw scroll chuck. I'm really after something safe and accurate but not too crazy in price.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
