I modified my 4” 4 jaw chuck for my mini lathe. I was able to eliminate the adapter plate and machine out the back end of the chuck to allow direct mounting of the chuck. I added four new M6 mounting studs to fit the the spindle flange 4 hole mounting pattern. The overall chuck stack up thickness was reduced from 2-3/4” to 1-7/8”. The job went very well and I encountered no difficulty. The weight was reduced from 8.5 pounds to 6 pounds.[IMG]google drive[/IMG]Attachment 39093
