I'm about to purchase a wood lathe. What are some good choices for lathe chucks? I was looking at a collet style for the head stock and a live center in the tail stock. Does anyone us a Jacobs style in the tail stock to ensure the mandrel doesn't walk backwards off the tail stock? I could just use mandrels without the ends center bored then correct? Below are links to the parts I'm looking at.

I have that same collet chuck and use it with mandrels and a live center. Works well. I also have a small Nova chuck which I use on occasion. Re: Lathe Chucks

I use drill chuck with ball bearing and a MT 2 as a tailstock and Jacobs with MT2 on the motor side ( as a headstock) Re: Lathe Chucks

I use the Collet chuck head and Jacobs live tail. Work great with mandrels of different sizes if you have the multiple collets. Re: Lathe Chucks

Jon,
I prefer to use an open center 3-Jaw chuck in the head stock. In contrast to a Jacob's chuck, this allows me to slide the mandrel through the chuck to minimize any unused mandrel length. I use a pointed end - ball bearing live tail stock. I use a 60 degree center point drill to put 60 degree center points in each end of any mandrel that I use. [www.grizzly.com] [www.pennstateind.com] --------------- When I am drilling, I use a Jacobs chuck in the tail stock, a ball bearing work rest, and a 3 jaw chuck in the head stock: [www.rodbuilding.org] --------------------------- When turning a grip, I use a small point in the head stock to secure the grip, and then use a small ended 60 degree center point live tail stock: [www.rodbuilding.org] [www.pennstateind.com] [www.pennstateind.com] Re: Lathe Chucks
