That link I posted is to a seller in Costa Mesa. His phone number is
949-294-2171 and his name is Leigh. Give him a call and find out what
he has or will watch out for a chuck for you. Tell him Gunner
referred you. With luck, Ill be in his shop next week, Ive got some
Bridgeport heads to rebuild for him.
Also check with Greer Machinery, in Huntington Beach.
(714) 848-5477
They usually have a huge! number of chucks of all types and sizes
Im a traveling machine tool service tech out of Bakersfield area and
work all over in OC/LA/San Bern/Riverside counties
I know of one client that may..may have some chucks..they are getting
rid of their Clausing 13x36 lathes...some of them are tired as
hell...and of course they use L00 chucks and had a significant number
of extras. Check with Leigh and Greer first...Ill check with the
client. They are a production company..make their own products..and
wont talk to you without an intoduction.
