I like haveing a few different size chucks for my lathes. Jaws vary so I want to have a few different sizes that will fit the work I intend to machine. Purchased a really nice Horton, Division of Skinner 8" 4 Jaw chuck. Type that has no back plate and spindle taper machined in the casting. Chuck is like new has seen little use, I stamped the jaw numbers on the OD, original are on the Face. Only to find it's L00 not L0 that fit's the only lathe I have with L taper. All the others Have D1 type spindles,so I can't use it! Anyone interested? If not I'll machine the L00 taper off and put a back plate on. Also I have another chuck with what looks like L1. Seem to possibly be a drive plate fitted to the chuck. Not sure of the brand, I didn't look at it long enough but if anyone is interested in a L1 taper let me know, I intend to remove it and put on a D1-6 back plate.
