I bought a Vertex 6" Rotary Table that came with a 5" 3 jaw chuck.
Unfortunately it didn't come with any reverse jaws which is a bummer because I need to grab bigger stuff (for making bolt hole circles for example) and the regular jaws means I can't grab anything bigger than about 2.5 inches.
I tried local shops and they said that lathe jaw chucks are made specifically for that chuck and replacements aren't available. Are they full of it or is that true?
Am I SOL or do replacement jaws exist?
Maybe this is an excuse for me to put a 8" 4 jaw chuck on it (if I can find a way to adapt it)
