We have a Warco WM180.
It was supplied with some additional recommended parts to get us up and running, one of which was a Keyless Drill Chuck.I went to test fit it tonight but am a little confused
The only way I can see to fit the Drill Chuck is to fit it in the TailStock using one of the two Dead Centres. The Lathe comes with 2 (2MT & 3MT), both of these appear to spin in the TailStock and the Drill Chuck surely needs to be held securely?
The other is a 2MT Arbour B16, I cannot remember what that was to be used for, but I tried it on the Drill Chuck, whilst it fits it still spins.

It s clearly designed for only wood work because it is made from aluminium.
Unfortuntately I will be doing all manner or materials and the aluminium will get battered. Also my parts will be too near to the table to get good access for filing/sawing etc. Interesting suggestion though!

Like I say I DON T really want a ball and socket thing, because it will (presumably) flex too much and be more bulky than required. To be honest I just want something simpler.

Ingenious for sure. But bit bulky, fussy and complicated. Again, aluminium jaws are asking for trouble. Another interest suggestion though.
