Chris,

I had a nose on Google and 30A seems to come up with Hardinge. Unfortunately 
I've no idea what method of attaching they used.

Cheers,

JohnP

Subject: [modeleng] Trying to identify origin of a chuck


Hi folks,
I've got a Burnerd 30A chuck.... Unfortunately my local P-B agents don't
know what a 30A is .... And they're pretty good, obscure P-B and
Crawford stuff is usually a doddle for them, they've helped me out with
advice and bits for obsolete stuff before.... I can't find the normal
P-B part numbers on it anywhere, the only thing I've managed to find so
far are the matching numbers for the jaw and scroll (this doesn't mean
it's one of the more accurate ones does it, I thought P-B selected all
jaws and scrolls?)

It's a 5" standard scroll 3-jaw and when I got it, it was on a Boxford
backplate, or at least a 1.5" register/1.5x8tpi thread backplate, which
to me means Boxford.... Did Boxford do a lathe (or something with their
nose) called a 30A?

Any help gratefully received cos I'd like to get a set of outside jaws
for it without having to lug it along to a show and go through one of
the scrap-merchants box of jaws.....

chrisc
