I use a Powermatic 2014 (14", 1HP, 200lb weight) and an Axminister SK100 Clubman chuck, both my first turning gear since beginning last summer. I have wanted a second chuck and concluded that a Vicmarc stepjaw kit give me good flexibility. So I have looked at the bare VM100 or the VM120 chucks...
Vicmarc 220mm Bowl Jaws for VM90/100 Chucks
The Vicmarc 220mm (8 5/8”) Bowl Jaws for VM90/100 Chucks are new in the original package.
The Vicmarc Bowl Jaws adjust to allow you to re-chuck different sized bowls for finishing the bottom, or do light clean-up work on the foot of the bowl. To...

Before I pull the trigger on a new one, it seemed worth a try to look for a used one but I'm not willing to pay top dollar for one that is only a few dollars less than a new one...
Last week I tried using the McNaughton coring system and got some really bad catches. These catches caused the chuck adopter to over tighten and screw itself on the shoulder just behind the spindle threads. When this happened the chuck is now not centered. Is there a different adaptor that sits...
