Lathe Chuck

[Steve in VA]

Does anyone have a small wood lathe chuck they're not going to use and might want to part with?

I have a Jet mini lathe that I got off Craigslist and am just getting into turning. I'm mostly interested in turning game calls, pens, and similarly size items.

I'd also be interested in an expanding mandrel if anyone has one.

I've realized that a chuck is quite expensive!!!

I have one of these available in 5/8” if you want to give it a shot?

Thanks The100road! I've enjoyed our conversation and appreciate the offer!

It's out of stock from where I'm linking you to, but the Nova G3 30th Anniversary Bundle is a great deal on a good chuck. $160 gets you the chuck body and three sets of jaws. Price has gone up a little since I bought mine - think I paid about $135 or $140 for mine.

Thanks for the recommendation Sprung!

I was hoping to find a used one for a good price, but I may have to splurge. That was one I was looking at and does seem like a decent deal.

I have two G3 chucks - I am very happy with them and like them better than the PSI economy one I had (that's a no brainer) and even like them better than the Oneway Talon I used to have as well.
