Lantern chuck with quick release clamping to aid loading / unloading components
Hi All
I would firstly like to thank JR for posting his lantern chuck as this gave me lots to consider when designing and making my take on a lantern chuck.
I made this as I have some 60 plus copper rivets that need threading 2BA for a 3” scale Foden steam wagon copper boiler, I am currently making (well for the last 10 years)
As you can appreciate this could be a very time-consuming exercise, so I needed a chuck I could load and unload quickly. This is my take on a lantern chuck with quick release clamping, the photos show part of the build, to final fitting to the lathe. I have also included a video. (I am no Spielberg as you will see) From the video you will also see with a bit of practice I should be able to complete the batch quite quickly.
The aluminium handle fitted to the unit was purchased with the money I kindly received from Homemadetools.net for my claw clamp tool of the week.
