    Default micro centric chucks - what can I do with them?

    Here it is....





    I have a heavy 10 Southbend, 2 1/4 X 6 chuck thread. I can make adapters but this chuck looks like its' missing stuff..... jaws for one.

    what are these chucks used for?

    what kind of connection is used ?

    thanks

    Is that a chuck or a collet?

    One approach might be to make a fixture if you had a pressing need
    for that collet size.

    Another would be to sell it to someone who already owns the companion
    chuck.

    Build a collet holder and use on your mill. I just did for a set of 4C that
    had been setting around for over ten years with nothing to hold them.

    It looks like a version of a 'rubber-flex' collet.
