lathe chuck on mill table

[retiredmachinist]

Here is a pic of the spare 3 jaw Southbend chuck I bolted onto a flatplate and had the welder make two slots on an arc. Much more stable than a vice, I used it at work before retiring.

what sort of work was it suited for?

[retiredmachinist]

We had to cut slots across shafts and our mill vice did not have V's in the jaw to keep the shaft square. This way you were always on center. I haven't used it for anything else as yet.
