Gentlemen,

HELP!!!!

I am bidding on a Japanese lathe that is advertised as having a "A1-4" chuck on it. I was told this is an odd style and that replacment chucks and accessories for it will be hard to get and expensive. Other lathes I see have what is referred to as "D1-4" chucks. Others have "cam lock" chucks. Would some one please educate this ol' boy before he makes a $2400 mistake that will take a year or more to recover from. What is the difference between these types of chucks? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Are there types I should avoid like the plague?

Some of the chucks I have seen have a plate with pins sticking out of it. My understanding is that these plates attach to the spindle on the lathe and then the chuck is bolted to the plate. How far off base am I on this?

The only type of chuck I am familiar with is the threaded type that spins on and tightens up like on the old South Bends I learned on many years ago.

What is an "L00" type chuck or spindle nose? Ia it something to avoid?

Many thanks to all those who have helped me thus far.

I think you have an American Standard lathe spindle nose on that lathe. As far as I know, there are Threaded, American Standard and Cam Lock types of spindles. American Standard also have two taper types, short and long. I think an A1 would be a short taper type. American Standard types of spindles have a taper with a key in it and a locking hub at the rear. Have a look at this page and see if it helps you out at all.
