    They'll machine an insert to suit your lathe, probably an extra cost. The stronghold chuck is larger than the talon chuck. It'll recommend what chuck will suit your lathe. If your lathe has a large swing the larger chuck would probably be better.

    Got an e mail from Peter.

    At the moment he cant help me out, as he says the M39x4 is unusual and he has never come across it.
    Strange.

    I,ve asked him if he can supply me with a blank insert that I can get machined here.

    Have you emailed Oneway themselves? It says on their site they can be made to suit certain lathes. Maybe they will be able to machine it for you.

    Long story short.

    One vicmarc supplier says they can get vicmarc,OZ to machine the required part.

    Vicmarc Oz says they can machine the part required by cnc. Great. But they

    cant guarantee it will fit. Even tho my M39x4 is a recognised industry thread.

    Toolpost uk will supply me with a blank that I machine myself. Great.

    But I have to select the chuck parts individually to make up my chuck.

    And then tell me I choose a set of mounting jaws, as well as workholding jaws.

    As I know nothing about the versachuck, confusion has set in.

    God be with the days when i could just buy the right box, with the bits in:)

    So if anyone can tell me the difference between workholding jaws and

    mounting jaws, I,d be greatful as the Versachuck probably ticks the most boxes

    The thing with the Versachuck is that it's possible to use (workholding) jaws from a number different manufacturers on it.

    Workholding jaws are the jaws you use to, well, hold your work in !!! These screw on to the jaws that are part of the chuck itself, the mounting jaws, and the shape and size of these along with the position and size of the mounting holes determine what workholding jaws you can use.

    So basically you need to decide what range of workholding jaws you think offers you the biggest choice and choose the mounting jaws to match. You'll probably get the biggest, and easiest obtained, combined choice by going for the one that takes both Teknatool(Nova/SuperNova) and Robert Sorby(Patriot) jaws.

    Look here for details on the system http://www.toolpost.co.uk/pages/Chucks___Accessories/VersaChuck/versachuck.html

    I wouldn't worry about them not guaranteeing the backplate will fit .. i'm guessing they're just covering themselves. It is a standard, albeit unusual, thread after all.
