I came across these three sets of jaws at an estate sale. No one at the sale had any idea what they went to. I own a Oneway Stronghold and they don't fit

The two sets of tall jaws have the same screw spacing about 1-1/16" center to center of the holes. I think these may be Vicmarc but not sure if they fit the VM100 or VM120/150 chuck sizes.

the 3" black bowl jaws measure about 11/16" center to center of the holes. Again, not sure which brand of chuck and which size/model of the chuck brand since most brands have two sizes of chucks.

Any idea of the brand of chucks these may fit?
Thanks Ricc

Look at Vicmarc chucks and see if they have jaws that match. The large jaws and small extended jaws look like my Vicmarc.
 
Thanks Gary! I breezed thru the video. Although she shows similar jaws and I assume they are Vicmar, she didn't measure the counting screw holes so I still don't know if they would fit the larger or smaller Vicmarc.
 
I have the Vicmarc 100 chucks and have a set of those tall tapered jaws.

John, I'm pretty sure both sets of tall jaws are Vicmarc. But, from what I understand Vicarc makes them in two sizes for both the VM100 chuck and also for the larger VM120/150 chuck. Was hoping someone with the jaws could measure center to center the screw hole spacing so I could hopefully determine if these were for the VM100 chuck or the VM150 chuck.

Vicmarc has a option on page where jaws are to ask a question. Why not go to the source??

I did try via their email address as I'm not paying to call internationally. Still have not heard back from them. That's why I thought I would check with the turning community. I assumed I would get a quicker response. Which I finally did get on another forum. They are for the larger VM120/150 chucks not the smaller VM100.
