Bison 3 Jaw Chuck and Back Plate
8/27/2007

Maybe I should redefine "coming soon". Sorry for the delay. This 4" Bison chuck was purchased from
New
England Brass. Bob Cumings is very easy to work with and quick with the delivery. Took three days. Cheaper
than most of the other supply houses. I think Enco was about $10 cheaper but I couldn't get a "live person" to
talk to there who knew anything. Glad I talked to Bob as the description on ALL the other sites was WRONG.
No two piece jaws. But I did get a set of soft jaws and some chuck grease :)

Yep, it's a mounted 1-1/2 x 8 TPI thread back. I had to shorten it about a half inch to duplicate the Southbend
10K spindle dimensions I have emulated and I dusted the back for a future dividing plate which will mount via
the jack bolt holes.
 

Looking for mini-mill help and how-tos? How about lathe help and how-tos?

We're prototyping a benchtop CNC vertical mill using the DigiSpeed-XL interface card for Mach, Dart Controls and KB Electronics KBIC/KBMM 90VDC motor controllers, 1.5HP treadmill motor from Surplus Center and a R8-spindle head from the X2 mini-mill - not to mention Gecko servo drives and an entirely closed-loop system. Come take a look!
