missing chuck key

[Dan Valleskey]

Trying to make the jump from spindle turning to maybe a bud vase or small dish. Found a used Oneway Talon, good deal, but the chuck key was missing. I figured it wouldn't be that hard to find one.

I was wrong. Well- it was easy to find. But hard to pay for. $54 shipped for a new one, from oneway.

Is there an aftermarket item that would work? Anyone have a spare they would sell?

Other ideas?

Thanks!

Easiest way to find the missing key is to buy one.

Tell me about it!

I don't know how many things I have bought and when I decide where I am going to keep the new tool, I see the old one already sitting in it's place.

The worst case of lost-and-fpund-itis that I have had was when I decided that my Fluke 87 V multimeter was lost for good after about a year of searching in all of the usual places. I bought a new one (close to $400 -- ouch) and about a week later when I decided to keep it in a desk drawer, there sat my old one just grinning at me. I figured that it probably been on a world tour and finally had returned home.

Bill, now do you believe in gremlins?

They're always borrowing my turning tools, but they never sharpen them or put them back where they belong.

I have seen Gremlins and they are ugly.

There was a gremlin with a 360. Ugly but a pleasure to drive!

That key is already here! Thanks, Joe, I sure appreciate it. Gonna try out that chuck tomorrow while the turkey is cooking.

Sure glad you took the time to get the key to me. Thank you much!

And I think I have a new favorite forum.

germlin?

I dated a girl with a gremlin for a while. Never thought it was that bad looking. But we used it to run to Chicago one cold day. I had ice cold air blowing on my left foot, no matter what we did with the heater controls. A week after that, the hood froze shut at the same time the battery decided to run dead.

I was not a fan.
