Sort of ot, my new paper weight

[Dave C]

Wife spotted a yard sale so we stopped for a look. It was mostly girl stuff, but the husband said he had some stuff in the garage that he needed to get rid of. There was a bunch of cheap tools like you sometimes see in bargin bins and some dull and broken drill bits. This one c aught my eye so I asked what he would take for it. He said since my wife had paid for several items he would just throw the chuck in with her purchase. It looks new and works really smooth, but has one
serious problem. I probably should have let the man keep it.

A rare 2-jaw chuck. Give it a wipe down with some 3in1 oil and slap it onto a drill.

Take it apart and compare jaws with some shown at MSC and other vendors. You may find some that will fit.

I found that these fit my 'made in Spain' chuck: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/45698610

That things is worth a pretty penny - the two jaw's were used extensively for making eccentric parts, it's not a tool holding chuck it's strictly for work holding...

Same chuck I have on my Bridgeport. It's not an expensive chuck to begin with.

[Paul Alciatore]

Any name on it? Probably not.

I think I bought it from Enco

Wife spotted a garage sale? eyes forward, what, I don't see anything, where, guess we missed it, sorry. j/j she'd be has reluctant as I to stop and accumulate more crap..... having moved past the "then we have it" phase and into the "how are we going to deal with all this crap?!" phase.

[Glug]

3d print soft jaws?

I don't suppose you asked him where it went, or you would have mentioned. Maybe he dropped it on that jaw?

[Tobias-B]

Maybe he dropped it on that jaw?

...giving a new meaning to 'jaw dropping'...


I'll see myself out, thanks...

I used to love garage sales! However, lately I have pretty much given them up. Nobody has anything I'm interested in. Even people who specifically mention tools generally have just grandpa tools. Rounded off straight screwdrivers abound. Hack saw frames, empty, that came from long dead cheap hardware stores. Stuff that threads onto a garden hose. Leaky. Containers of way past pull date Bondo. I'm done.
