Hi everybody

I have joined this forum on the advice from arceurotrade who are a very helpful bunch of guys.

Just a little about me. Retired when I was 60 (2016). Hobbies are motorcycling and motorcycle restoration of 70's/80's/90's bikes, kit model aircraft building (WW1) and generally anything that keeps my mind active!

I own a standard HOBBYMAT MD 65 lathe and it is this that I wish to ask about. It's fitted with the standard 80 mm three jaw chuck which has been fine for making small and hard to find motorcycle parts as I've only needed to use round bar or tubing. However, I need to fit a four jaw chuck to take square section material. There are plenty of four jaw chucks available but, according to arceurotrade, they will not fit on to the chuck flange of the Hobbymat lathe.

Has anyone been able to sort the problem of changing from three jaw to four for this lathe and, if so, how?

Thanks for reading my ramble and I hope someone can help!

Ta, Andrew.
