Looking at getting the Oneway Talon chuck with insert (1 1/4×8) cross LH/RH threaded. Just wondering what y’all think about the thread strength (being threaded both ways) and how it will hold as far as any run out. This is for Robust Scout lathe getting ready to order that’s threaded (1 1/4×8) RH inboard and (1 1/4×8) LH outboard. Robust has the face plate threaded this way (cross LH/RH) for this lathe. Owners of Robust Scout lathe what chuck y'all using or recommend? Would like to get the Vicmarc VM100 chuck but can't find it direct LH threaded or LH/RH cross threaded (without insert). The VM100 insert screws in RH which defeats the purpose of having LH threaded spindle. The Talon is taper insert with 3 screws to hold. THANKS
Just want to add the Robust Scout Lathe has 14" swing over ways inboard and 21" outboard.
