    Is VM120 too big for my lathe?

    I use a Powermatic 2014 (14", 1HP, 200lb weight) and an Axminister SK100 Clubman chuck, both my first turning gear since beginning last summer. I have wanted a second chuck and concluded that a Vicmarc stepjaw kit give me good flexibility. So I have looked at the bare VM100 or the VM120 chucks...

    Did you receive any turning gifts?

    I was gifted a Vicmarc VM120 direct thread chuck with 7 3/4" jaws. Woo-hoo! I'll still wind up paying the credit card bill for it, but that's besides the point! I hope you all enjoy whichever holiday(s) you celebrate. Happy turning. P.S. I also received the sweatshirt pictured below. It'll...

    Vicmarc VM100 and VM120

    For those of you that own and use both chucks, how do you tend to use them in your day-to-day bowl turning? It seems that most people (or at least a lot) seem to use the VM120 for everything whereas occasionally I'll read where someone tends to use the VM100 for as big of a bowl as they feel...

    Fors Sale: Vicmarc VM120 Chuck

    Hello, i unfortunately purchased the wrong Vicmarc chuck several months ago. It would cost ~$60 to send back to Australia so I am going to sell it here. It is still in the box it came in as I am still setting up my shop and still have not even fired up my new lathe. I am asking $195 plus...

    Wanted -- VL 300 at a Reasonable Price

    I'm looking for a Vicmarc VL300 with 3 HP motor at a reasonable price that is in good shape. I live in Kentucky. Before I pull the trigger on a new one, it seemed worth a try to look for a used one but I'm not willing to pay top dollar for one that is only a few dollars less than a new one...

    Grizzly 766 and Vicmarc 120 Chuck

    Last week I tried using the McNaughton coring system and got some really bad catches. These catches caused the chuck adopter to over tighten and screw itself on the shoulder just behind the spindle threads. When this happened the chuck is now not centered. Is there a different adaptor that sits...
