I'm looking at a nice 6" 3-jaw lathe chuck that is missing its top jaws.
The chuck itself is unidentified.
If I buy it, how likely will I be able to find top jaws for it?

Lots are made to a standard - but not all of them. Differing SIZES of course, since there are large, small and in between chucks
They are not especially cheap

Mike,
Those are hard jaws.

Atlas Workholding is the lower cost chuck line of Pratt Burnerd. The Atlas Easy-Set chuck and the Pratt Burnerd Setrite chucks all use standard American tongue and groove top jaws. The 600 Group owns the Atlas, Clausing and Pratt Burnerd brands, among others. Clausing and Pratt Burnerd America are both in a building in Kalamazoo, MI.Atlas was another that used non-standard jaws. They resemble American Standard jaws but the transverse tongue/groove are inverted.
